User manual M-AUDIO TORQ XPONENT

[. . . ] English User Guide Xponent User Guide Table of Contents Introduction. 19 Torq Xponent User Guide | 3 Introduction Thank you for choosing the M-Audio Xponent USB DJ controller and audio interface. This innovative device gives digital DJs all the familiar knobs, sliders, and wheels found on a DJ mixer and CD players while allowing users to harness the power of the latest DJ software. Xponent also includes a high quality audio interface and a built-in trackpad, letting users control their DJ software without having to touch the computer itself. [. . . ] Alternatively, the + and ­ buttons (see below) allow you to change the key of a song without affecting the tempo. Key Transpose (+, -) ­ These buttons allow you to transpose the music in each deck in semitone steps. In other words, to raise the pitch of a song two semitones, press the + button twice. Note that this feature is only available when the Lock Button (above) is disengaged. Torq Xponent User Guide 32. Speed Slider ­ This slider controls the playback speed of each deck within Torq. | 10 NOTE: Torq has a unique "time-stretching" ability that can change the speed of a song without changing its pitch. This is something that is impossible to do with traditional turntables and it is something that many DJs will find extremely useful. Due to this feature, we refer to this slider as a "speed" control rather than a "pitch" control. Channel Volume Fader ­ This slider controls the volume of each deck in Torq. Sync Buttons ­ Press these buttons to engage the Auto-Sync feature of each Deck. ­ Use this button to place a temporary marker in the song. Please refer to the Torq User Guide to find out more about this button. Loop Control Buttons ­ These buttons control the corresponding looping buttons found on each deck of Torq. Please refer to the Torq User Guide to find out more about these buttons. ­ This button controls the Transform or "punch-in" feature of the mixer. 39. Headphone Output ­ Connect your headphones to this 1/4" output. Note that the Headphone output is separate from the Booth and Master outputs and receives its signal from USB outputs 3-4 (the Booth and Master outputs receive their source signals from USB outputs 1-2). This feature allows most DJ applications to set up a separate headphone or "cue" mix that is only heard by the DJ and is used for cueing and beat matching songs. 41. Bank Select Switch ­ Xponent contains two programmable memory banks. This switch selects between memory bank A (left setting) and memory bank B (right). The Bank Select Switch can be used in conjunction with the Deck Knobs (24) and Deck Buttons (25) to control the effects for each deck in Torq. See items 24 and 25 above for more information about this. Torq Xponent User Guide | 11 Using Xponent Using Xponent with Torq 7 Xponent ships with SyncroScience Torq, a powerful DJ application that works with Xponent out of the box. Once the Xponent drivers have been installed on your computer, Torq should automatically detect the controller and allow you to use the buttons, knobs, sliders, and wheels without any further configuration. While Xponent works with Torq out of the box, there are some controller settings you may wish to customize to your personal preference. [. . . ] As you drag your finger down the pad, the sample rate will be reduced. STROBE: X-axis: Controls the Strobe Rate knob. Sliding your finger to the right of the Trackpad will increase the frequency (speed) of the Strobe effect. The amount of the Strobe effect you hear increases as your finger slides from the bottom of the Trackpad to the top. REVERSE: Touching the Trackpad engages the Reverse effect while releasing the pad turns the effect off. Moving your finger along the X or Y axis of the Trackpad does not change this effect in any way. BRAKE: Touching the Trackpad engages the Brake effect while releasing the pad turns the effect off.
