Torq 2.0 User Guide
When a mis-alignment occurs (as seen above), you’ll see that the grid does not line up with the beginnings of
the beats (transients) in the waveform. In the example, the Phase Grid is too early, leaving a gap between the
grid lines and the transients in the waveform.
There are a number of ways to fix a mis-aligned Phase Grid. Which method you choose to use will probably
depend on whether you’re comfortable using the mouse and keyboard, or whether you prefer to use external
MIDI control. The results are all the same, so choose whichever feels good for you.
Adjusting with the Mouse
To adjust the Phase Grid placement with the mouse:
1 Hold down the Shift key, then click-and-drag left or right with the mouse.
2 The Phase Grid will move left or right, following your mouse movements.
3 Once you have aligned the thicker “downbeat” marker of the grid to the downbeat of the music, release the
mouse button.
Adjusting with Nudge Buttons
Hold down the Shift key, then click on one of the Nudge buttons.
The Phase Grid will move left or right depending on which Nudge button you click.
Use the buttons to align the thicker “downbeat” marker of the grid to the downbeat of the music.
Adjusting with Advance Buttons
Hold down the Shift key, then click on one of the Advance buttons.
Instead of making a small change to the Phase Grid, this will have the effect of moving the grid an entire beat
left or right. This is a quick way to fix the Phase Grid if it happens to be aligned to the beats but has the down-
beat in the wrong location.
If the song you’re attempting to use has tempo variations, Torq’s automatic beat and phase detection will
not work. You will have to manually set the tempo for the song using Tempo Anchors as detailed in Chap-
ter 3 before you will be able to exploit Torq’s automatic synchronization.

You can turn on Caps Lock instead of holding Shift if you need to adjust the grid using just one hand. Turn
off Caps Lock when you’re finished so you can regain proper control of the waveforms.
