Control (Deck Mode)
In order for Torq to feel familiar to all types of DJ's, each Deck can be operated in one of four different modes,
which are accessed via the Deck Mode pop-up menu.
Vinyl Mode
Vinyl Mode causes a Deck to behave as if it was a turntable.
Pressing Play/Pause to pause playback will cause audio to stop, just like pressing stop on a turntable.
Clicking and dragging on the Scrolling Waveform will have audible results, like scratching a record.
Try out Vinyl mode:
1 Click and hold the mouse on the waveform. Playback will stop, as if you have placed your hand on a record
to stop it.
2 Continue holding the mouse button, then drag the mouse left and right. This will scrub, or “scratch,” the
song.
Using your mouse to control a waveform in this manner is known as Scratch via Waveform.
Releasing the mouse button will cause the Deck to play the song back from the current location.
CDJ Mode
CDJ mode will make the Deck behave as if it was a CDJ player.
Pressing Play/Pause to pause playback will cause the Deck to stop and begin repeating a small section of au-
dio. The repeating section corresponds to the position where playback will resume when you press
Play/Pause again.
While the audio is repeating, you can click and drag on the Scrolling Waveform to move the start loca-
tion—you’ll hear the repeating audio slice change as you do this. Press the Cue button to set the Cue Point
to this location and the repeating audio slice will stop.
Clicking and dragging on the Scrolling Waveform while the Deck is playing will not stop audio. Instead,
youll be able to drag left or right to offset the playback speed of the track. Controlling the waveform in this
manner lets you to align the track against another Deck when beat-matching.
Try out CDJ mode:
1 Click and hold on the waveform. The music will continue to play.
2 While holding on the mouse button, drag the mouse left. The playback tempo will be momentarily in-
creased, making the waveform scroll a little faster to the left.
3 Now hold and drag the mouse to the right. Playback will continue playing forward, but at a slightly slower
tempo. In this instance the waveform scrolls right to left at a slower rate.
Switching to MIDI Platter Control Mode selects Vinyl Mode, while selecting CDJ Mode switches off MIDI
Platter Control Mode. For more information about MIDI Platter Control Mode, refer to Chapter 15, “MIDI
Platter Control.”
