Sync Button
Pressing the Sync button automatically synchronizes a Deck’s tempo to match the Master Deck or Master
Tempo. This aligns the song to the phase of the Master Deck or Master Tempo.
While Sync is active, the Deck will be affected by tempo changes made by the Master Deck or Master Tempo.
If you slow down the Master Deck, the other Deck will also slow down. If you attempt to scratch or re-align
the second Deck, Torq will automatically snap it back into alignment to match the phase of the Master Deck.
Momentary Sync
When you turn Sync off on a Deck, it will keep the tempo setting allowing the song to keep playing in time
with the other Deck. However, Torq will no longer attempt to keep the two Decks in sync if you make changes
to them. Torq will no longer snap the songs back into alignment if you move one of them, nor will Torq con-
tinue to match tempos if you change them. So with the other deck set as the Master Deck, if you just need to
synchronize for a moment and wish for the music to run freely afterward, click the Sync button once to turn
it on, then click it again to turn it back off—the Tempo will be matched to the other Deck, and you’ll be free
to start and manipulate the music as you wish.
Master Tempo
Using the Sync button as described in Chapter 5, “The Decks” lets you sync the Decks to the Master Tempo set
by the Master Deck or a Rewire Host such as Pro Tools (see Chapter 13,Rewire). However, if you do not have
an active Master Deck and you wish to synch your looped samples to your mix, you’ll need to use the Master
Tempo controls to set the Master Tempo.
When you adjust the Master Tempo then click the Sync button on a Deck, it will sync to the Master Tempo
instead of one of the other Decks. Additionally, when you trigger looped samples, those loops will play in sync
with the Master Tempo (and any synced Decks).
Changing the Master Tempo will result in the same change to the synced Decks and the Sampler.
There are a couple ways to adjust the Master Tempo:
Use the + and – buttons to increment or decrement the current tempo by one BPM.
– or –
Hold the Shift key while dragging up and down on the Master Tempo Display to make smoother, slower
changes to the tempo.
– or –
Click repeatedly on the Master Tempo Display to tap a new tempo.
For more information about automatic and manual Master Deck selection, refer to “Auto Master Deck”
on page 51.
This synchronization method is only available when Auto Master Deck is switched off and you do not
have a manually selected Master Deck set up as described in Chapter 5, “The Decks” under “Master But-
ton” on page 51.
