Divide Tempo
The first time you press this button the tempo of the current song will be divided by 1.5. If the song was de-
tected as 120 BPM, it will now show 60 BPM (120 BPM ÷ 1.5 = 60 BPM). The second time you press this button,
the division factor will stay the same (1.5) and the tempo changes to 40 BPM (60 BPM ÷ 1.5 = 40 BPM).
Multiply Tempo
The first time you press this button the tempo of the current song will be multiplied by 1.5 (the multiplication
factor will be shown in the Tooltip). If the song was detected as 120 BPM, it will now show 180 BPM (120 BPM
x 1.5 = 180 BPM). The second time you press this button, the multiplication factor will increase to 2. If the
song had been detected as 120 BPM, it would now show 240 BPM (120 BPM x 2 = 240 BPM). The multiplica-
tion factor will continue to increase in 0.5 steps each time this button is pressed.
Manual Tempo Adjustment (ADJ)
As mentioned above, Torq can determine the tempo of most dance music. Some music, however, is too com-
plex or not repetitive enough for Torq to detect the tempo with precision. Fortunately, you can help Torq to
determine the proper tempo through a number of different methods. The appropriate method will be based
on the type of tempo correction you’re trying to achieve.
Tap Tempo
On rare occasions, Torq will determine an incorrect tempo that has no direct relation to the actual tempo (not
a fraction or multiple). At times like this, you’ll want to use the Tap Tempo feature to determine the tempo of
the song while it plays.
To set the tempo using Tap Tempo:
1 While the song is playing, click on the BPM display with each beat that you hear.
2 The BPM display will update the BPM to reflect the timing of the taps you performed.
3 The more taps you provide, the more precise the calculation will become.
To revert to the automatically determined tempo, hold the Shift key while clicking on the BPM display. This
will also clear any Tempo Anchors (see “Tempo Anchors” on page 56).
Tap Tempo cannot be used if there are Tempo Anchors in a song.
