Torq Conectiv isn’t the DJing revolution that M-Audio’s marketing department would have you believe. This isn’t to say that it doesn’t have its uses, though -- Ableton Live owners who want multiple ins/outs may consider it, as might anybody else who works in digital DJing. But even here, the system falls down where FinalScratch succeeds, as it won’t let you address the headphone output as an extra stereo pair. What’s more, the software isn’t as good as NI’s Traktor, and the vinyl/CD control doesn’t match up to FinalScratch 2 or Serato Scratch. So, while Torq Conectiv is an interesting departure for M-Audio, it hasn’t yet fulfilled its potential.

USB-powered. Much cheaper than comparable alternatives. Versatile audio interface. You can use VST effects.
Cluttered GUI. Limited number of channels. Not the best time-code control available.
Torq Conectiv isn’t quite as good as it promised to be, but it’s just versatile enough to be interesting. Don’t buy it without considering the alternatives, though.
