Anyone using Torq Xponent?

After watching a few youtube videos, I'm thinking of getting the Torq Xponent/Torq package instead of the Torq/Vinyl/CD kit.
Has anyone found another controler other than Xponent that will take advantage of the full capabilities of Torq? |

I have nothing against Xponent... it's a great all in one that utilizes all of torqs capabilities. But the thing is lacking build quality. I have torq vinyl and have a trigger finger, 2 x 1200's and a xone:32, I much prefer working with traditional gear then an all in one, this is merely a preference thing. But if I had the money, I'd get Xponennt for house parties, it's so damn portable. |

Thanks for your comments.
I own Technics 1200's, CD Players, and been using Computer DJ software since 1999. So, I'm fully aware what I'm getting into.
:cool:
"Traditional Gear" is nice but, this device opens up your creativity beyond what a Turntable or CD Player can offer.
When you say "Build Quality" do you know someone that experienced the Xponent breaking down in the middle of a gig? |

perhaps he means how it feels...personally i think the xponent feels cheap...meaning its made completely out of plastic. doesnt feel rigid and able to take a beating.
just my 2 cents |

I have the Xponent back stateside, I love that thing to death... I miss it deeply. It has become my favorite piece of gear. You can do ao man things with it, especially if you use a trigger finger with it. It used torq to its full capability because it was built to use with torq. I also love it because its lightweight and easy to transport... I can go to a gig with my XPonent, Trigger Finger, headphones and external HD in my backpack and a small laptop bag for my Macbook if I want. Sure beats lugging records about. And I disagree I think its pretty well built... I wouldn't recomend jumping on it liek an ape but I've had mine about a year and a half and its never been damaged at all. Hell, even over here I have my XSession pro (the light version of the Xponent) and the Iraqi sand can't beat this thing down.. they are built pretty well I feel.
Its very intuitive as well right out the box its ready to go, its so easy to use and it just feels so natural.
just my dos centos. |

Thanks.
That's the type of information I was looking for. It seems the only gripe I'm hearing is it's cheap feel. That shouldn't overide it's performance IMHO which, holds more weight as far as I'm concerned. |

Its built pretty well... I wouldn't reccomend using pliers to manipulate the knobs or sliders, or using it as a blunt weapon to fend off a crazed clubgoer attempting to steal your external HD, but she'll treat ya good. I still proudly say it is my favorite piece of kit now. |
