Feedback Knob (FBK)
Use this button to change the Delay time of the effect. The Delay’s time will be set to match the rate at which
you tap this button. The maximum delay time is two bars and the minimum time is 1/16-note (1/16 of a bar).
The operation of this button is governed by a few rules:
When fully counterclockwise, feedback will be disabled.
When the knob is turned up to three quarters of the maximum, the feedback will be 100% (i.e. the delay
will never fade away).
When the knob is turned past three quarters, the feedback will be increased beyond 100%, allowing the
delay to get louder with each time it is repeated.
Tap Button
Use this button to change the Delay time of the effect. The Delay’s time will be set to match the rate at which
you tap this button. The maximum delay time is two bars and the minimum time is 1/16-note (1/16 of a bar).
The operation of this button is governed by a few rules:
Torq will determine the tempo within only two taps. This allows you to change the delay time very
quickly, even while the Delay is already active.
Since Torq knows the tempo of the song playing on the Deck, the delay time you tap using the Tweak but-
ton will automatically be adjusted to match a note value at the current tempo. For example, if the song
BPM is 120, and you tap a tempo that is interpreted as 122 BPM, the delay time will be set to 120 BPM
(quarter-note delay). If you tap a tempo that is read as 158 BPM, the delay tempo will be rounded up to
160, which is a dotted-eighth.
Reverb
Reverb is the phenomenon in which sound bounces off the walls within a room, creating hundreds (thou-
sands?) of echoes that cannot be individually identified by the human ear. The total result of all these echoes
is a wide and ethereal sound that can add a nice touch of space to your mix.
The most obvious characteristic of a Reverb is how long it lasts. This is referred to as the Reverb Time and is
the only adjustable parameter in Torq’s Reverb effect.
Enable button
This button enables and disables the Reverb effect. If this button is switched off while the Reverb is active, the
sound of the Reverb will be cut off.
Amount Knob and Routing Button
When the neighboring Routing button is set to Send mode, the Amount knob will set the amount of signal
fed into the Reverb processor. This signal will then be blended with the original signal from the Deck, making
it sound like the Reverb was added to the song.
When the Routing button is set to Insert mode, the Amount knob will adjust the Dry/Wet balance of the Re-
verb. The difference is that the audio generated by the Reverb will replace the original song as you turn this
knob up.
