Crossfader
The Crossfader lets you to fade between two audio signals. When the Crossfader is in the middle position, you
will hear both decks that are sent to it. If you move the Crossfader all the way to the left, you will only hear
the audio from the Deck assigned to that side. Similarly, if you move the Crossfader all the way to the right,
you will only hear the Deck assigned to the right side.
Crossfader Curve
The Crossfader Curve knob set the rate at which the songs fade in and out as the crossfader is moved from one
side to the other. By default, the Crossfader knob is set to the twelve o’clock position or halfway between the
two extremes.
Turning the knob all the way to the left sets the Equal Power Contour, which is good for slow fades between
two songs. As you move the fader from the edge toward the center, it will slowly fade in one song. However,
as it is fading in this song, it will also start fading out the other song. The end result is that the overall volume
remains the same as you fade, even when both songs are playing at the same time.
When the knob is turned all the way to the right, Crossfader is set to the Hard Cut curve. This shape causes a
song to fade in to full volume almost immediately after moving the fader inward from the edge. Similarly, the
other song will not begin to fade out until the crossfader is almost all the way at the other edge. Then, right
before the crossfader reaches the edge, the other song will fade down. This is the shape preferred by scratch
DJ's as they can cut in a track to full volume with very little motion of their hand. When performed quickly,
you don’t even hear the volume fade up and down—it sounds as if the sound is being abruptly cut in and out.
Input Assign Buttons
By default, in Four Deck Mode Deck A is routed to the left side of the Crossfader while Deck B is routed to the
right. However Torq lets you assign any of the four decks or a combination of decks to either side by clicking
the Deck Buttons located at both end of the Crossfader. The buttons for any unassigned decks will be grey but
they will change color as soon as they are clicked.
In Two Deck mode the default input assignment routes Deck B to the left side of the Crossfader while Deck C
is assigned to the right. Either deck can be re-assigned using the B and C buttons at either end of the Cross-
fader. The button for an unassigned deck will be grey, but the button will change color as soon as it is clicked.
Crossfader
The Torq Crossfader has been designed to be very quick and responsive. However, if you are only using a
mouse to control Torq, you probably won’t be able to use the Crossfader for more than fading between
songs. If you want to use the Crossfader for cuts and scratching, we recommend using a qualified M-Audio
or third party hardware controller. A current list of qualified hardware controllers can be found on our
website: www.avid.com.
