Was it only a screenshot 2024? This is a video. I guess someone used the screenshot with some ai software and made a short video then ![]()
Anyone involved with a possible beta would risk losing their beta access if they were to confirm or deny the existence of something like this, in this thread.
Looks less like Torq 2.0 and more like an evolution of Deckadance to me, which would make sense considering InMusic owns that IP and hired Luis Serrano, who previously took over coding for it when the creator passed away. Luis Serrano was also the creator of the first full DJ MIDI controller (Kontrol KDJ-500) beyond that simple trigger and speed control (P2J Box) that DJ Pierre supposedly was involved with, though Pierre won’t return my messages and I’m not sure how well that thing worked. If there was one person I’d put in charge of both the software and the hardware for Denon DJ, it’s Luis Serrano. The touch platter tech alone on his stuff was better than anything InMusic is using on their latest gear, and his faders were always 14bit, even on the DJ Tech and Hanpin stuff.
His tech could easily be adapted for a new hybrid Prime player that no longer requires separate motorized and non-motorized models. Do one small combo player separate, and then do a hybrid full-size turntable as successor to the Numark X2, and learning from the VL12 mistakes. Both would titillate current SC5000 and SC6000 M and non-M owners, depending on their needs. Then a new mixer (X1900) with replaceable upfaders, optional rotary kits (like old Denon DJ), and other improvements on it, and they’d be on a good track. Oh, and the players would need Apple and Amazon Music chips. It wouldn’t even be a bad idea to put CD or DVD-Rom drive in the smaller combo players since CD is making a comeback. A simple computer 5.25in drive bay unit like the Gemini used.
