Master/Sync
Auto Master Deck
By default this function is always active, and automatically chooses the Master Deck based on the position of
the Crossfader and the Level Meters. Pressing the AUTO button in the Torq Toolbar deactivates and activates
Auto Master Deck.
Master Button
Clicking this button selects a Deck as the Master Deck and the Master Tempo will change to the tempo of the
“new” Master Deck. With a Deck set as the Tempo Master, all tempo based Torq functions and Looped samples
will follow its tempo even if there are tempo changes (set with Tempo Anchors) will follow the Master Deck.
If you’re using Torq Xponent as your controller, you can select a Master Deck by holding a SHIFT button on
the controller and pressing the corresponding Sync button. The Auto Master Deck function will be disabled
and the Xponent Sync button will flash, confirming that the target deck is the Master.
Sync Button
Clicking the Sync button automatically synchronizes a Deck to the Master Tempo. While Sync is active, the
Deck is also affected by changes to the Master Tempo. For example, if you lower the Master Tempo, the other
deck will also slow down. If you attempt to scratch or re-align the deck, Torq will automatically snap it back
into alignment to match the phase of the Master Tempo.
When you deactivate the Sync button, the deck maintains the tempo setting allowing the song to play at the
Master Tempo. However, Torq will no longer attempt to keep the Deck in sync if you make changes to it, such
as scratching.
Nudge Buttons
If you’re not taking advantage of Torq’s ability to keep tracks aligned using Sync, you can do it manually using
the Nudge buttons. If a song becomes ahead or behind the other, the Nudge buttons let you push the song
back into alignment by creating a small change to the playback speed of the song. If the song is ahead of the
beat, press the right Nudge button to slow it down. You’ll see the waveforms of the two songs move in relation
to each other. Release the Nudge button once the songs are aligned properly and the original playback speed
will be restored.
AUTO Button
If you are using Torq with qualified third party controller, refer to the documentation provided with your
hardware for detail about the equivalent functionality.
