Transport Controls
The Transport buttons let you control various aspects of song playback as described below.
Advance
Sometimes when mixing two songs together, you may find that the beats are aligned with each other, yet the
two songs are still out of phase. This is most obvious when one song is offset by one beat, causing the snare
drums of the tracks to be out of alignment. The Advance buttons can be used to correct this. Pressing these
buttons will make the Current Song Position jump forward or back by one beat-length.
Holding down the Shift key and clicking one of the Advance buttons moves the Phase 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 downbeat
in the wrong location.
Seek
The Seek buttons are used to Fast forward or rewind through the song, allowing you to find certain points (or
beats) within the track from which you can start playing.
If you click briefly on the Forward or Backward buttons, the music will jump only slightly in that direction.
If you click and hold one of these buttons, Torq will scroll through the song and stop when you release the it.
To jump to either the beginning or end of the song, hold the Shift key while clicking a Seek buttons.
Advance Buttons
Refer to “Phase Grid Manipulations” on page 107 for more information about moving the Phase Grid.
If you have the Sync Mode set to “Bar” in the Toolbar or Torq Preferences (Synq Reference), the Offset but-
tons will have no effect when the Deck’s Sync button is on. This is because Torq will counteract a one-beat
offset when set to Bar mode. If you want to offset the music by one beat when Sync is on, you’ll need to
offset the Phase Grid as explained in “Phase Grid Manipulations” on page 107 or switch the Synq Refer-
ence to “Beat” by clicking the Synq Reference Button in the Torq Toolbar.
Refer to “Synq Reference” on page 129 for more information about Synq Reference.
