Torq
DJ software,
developed by M-Audio's SynchroScience division, is a
dual-platform application that allows you to cue, beat-match
and mix a variety of digital audio file formats, including
MP3, AIFF, WAV, WMA and AAC.
Included
with all M-Audio
SynchroScience products, this easy-to-use application
automatically configures itself to work with compatible
hardware the very first time you boot it up. You can access
the power of Torq via mouse, keyboard, MIDI controller or
control vinyl/CDs. And unlike traditional DJ set-ups where
you're forced to carry around heavy crates of records or CDs,
Torq uses the digital files on your computer's hard drive and
provides access to them through a quickly searchable
database—it can even interface directly with your iTunes
library for truly effortless setup.
As
if that's not enough, Torq supports third-party VST effect
plug-ins and includes both a dedicated 16-cell sampler and
performance recorder.

beat-match and mix digital audio files (including MP3,
AIFF, WAV, WMA, Apple Lossless and AAC).

instantly and seamlessly with Xponent or other
SynchroScience DJ hardware.
