Cue Points
If you’ve used the Cue button or QuickCue buttons to place various Cue Markers in the song, you will see
them here. The QuickCue markers have numbers attached to them (corresponding to the assigned QuickCue
button) and the standard Cue Point appears as an red line.
Tempo Anchors
In addition to its automatic BPM detection features, Torq provides you with another alternative for BPM
matching that becomes an indispensable tool when working with songs that include tempo changes or fluc-
tuations (Torq’s automatic beat detection is designed to work with songs that have a constant tempo). Using
Tempo Anchors, you can manually specify the location of beats within a song thus allowing Torq to follow the
tempo of any song even if it speeds up or slows down in the middle. Editing Tempo Anchors is a more in-
volved process and should therefore only be used in the event that none of the normal methods yield the
proper results.
Tempo Anchors are edited within the Scrolling Waveform window and should be done at the highest zoom
factor so you can place the Anchors accurately. Furthermore, this is more of an “off-line” process—you should
prepare a song with Tempo Anchors before trying to play it to an audience. Torq will save the Tempo Anchors
in the TQD file so that you will only have to do this once for any particular song.
Tap Tempo
In order to add Tempo Anchors to a song you will need to map a key such as the space bar or a button on your
control hardware to the Tap Tempo function.
To map a key or button to the Tap Tempo function:
1 Choose the Deck that you want to use when adding Tempo Markers to a song.
2 Right click on the BPM display for the Deck.
3 Tap the key or controller button you are mapping to the Tap Tempo function.
