Numark Ns6 & New Torq with rewire..huh!

[deevey]

Suprised the new Numark NS6 hasnt been mentioned AKA "kick Pioneer in the nuts" controller

Torq looks like its worth revisiting now that its not locked into hardware, 4 decks and what looks like a bundle of pretty nifty features!

Thoughts anyone ?

Read up on this last night after playing around with the SSL 2.2 update.

I'm not too sure how I feel about this though. Numark has been just flooding the market with some good controllers (Mixtrack/Mixtrack Pro). The platters have always been a great addition to the NS7. Looks to be another one that can fit in the Mid-to-Upper range of controllers they've got.

I just wish those darn cue point buttons were a bigger, that's what hold me off from actually looking to get one. . .but there's too much gear that's being announed at this year's NAMM (Djing, Studio,DAW's) that's going to keep me from actually consider replacing my Tech 12's.

And, I was not much of a fan of Torq either. . .

I'm downloading the demo to test with my RMX & BCR ...be interesting to see how it is.

Just saw video of it for the screen shots. . .It looks like AVID are going straight for NI. . .

Looks good. . .let's just hope the integration with other controllers/interfaces are going to make it much tighter than it used to be. . .buz I still say the 1.5 update for it was a joke. . .

Been playin with torq a bit and can say that there are some improvements and i had it up and running with an audio 4 in minutes. But the effects are still weak and cause spikes in audio when activated in certain ways and weird clips and such when looping,but that was with buffer @ 96 samples. Still has a ways to go in terms of catching up to the big boys but very usable and sound quality is much much better

turns out, i know one of the lead designers of the new torq pretty well.

once upon a time, he was one of the sickest dj's in albuquerque and a pretty amazing producer.

im not surprised its got a pretty great feature set. my old buddy shawn is a really bright guy.

bumped into him today at the namm show. was really really nice to see him again.

Well, if its price turns out to be €999,- I don't think it's that hard a kick in the nuts.
Though the Rewire thingy of torq becomes a nice feature.
