Amount Knob and Routing Button
The Dual-Filter is designed to be used as an Insert effect. For this reason, the Routing button will automatically
switch to Insert mode whenever you load this effect. Then, the Amount knob will serve as a Dry/Wet adjust-
ment which you will want to leave fully clockwise (so you only hear the output of the Dual-Filter).
Band Pass (BPF) Button
The Band Pass button is used to set the filter mode for the Dual-Filter effect. When this button is off, the two
filters (High-Pass and Low-Pass) will be adjusted one at a time. When you click this button on, the High-Pass
and Low-Pass filters are be linked, to create a Band-Pass filter where both filters are adjusted simultaneously.
Frequency (Freq) Knob
This knob adjusts the Cutoff Frequencies of the filters.
When the BPF button is off, the knob will behave as follows:
Setting the knob at 12 o’clock results in the audio passing through the Dual-Filter unaffected.
Turning the knob counterclockwise from 12 o’clock lowers the Cutoff Frequency of the Low-Pass filter.
You will hear the music become dull and muffled as you turn this down to the point where you’ll only
hear low bass rumbles.
Turning the knob clockwise from the 12 o’clock position raises the Cutoff Frequency of the High-Pass fil-
ter. You will hear the music become more thin and brittle as you do this until only the highest of the high
frequencies remain.
When the BPF button is active, the Frequency knob controls the center frequency of the Band-Pass filter.
As you turn the knob down (counterclockwise), you’ll hear the high frequencies become muffled while
you begin to hear more of the bass.
Distortion
Distortion, by definition, is the altering of a signal. In practical terms, it refers to feeding audio into a device
so loudly that it exceeds the dynamic range of the device. The result is a fairly raunchy noise that, at times,
can be exactly what you’re looking for. This is known as Overdrive Distortion, and is one of the two types of
distortion possible with the Distortion effect.
The other type of distortion available in Torq is Sample Rate Reduction. When an audio file has its sample rate
lowered, it loses the ability to accurately reproduce high-frequency sounds. Instead of sounding soft and muf-
fled like a Low-Pass filter, the Sample Reducer will sound grainy and harsh.
Enable button
This button turns the Distortion on and off.
Amount Knob and Routing Button
Like the Dual-Filter above, the Distortion is designed to be used as an Insert effect. The Routing button will
switch to Insert mode automatically any time you load the Distortion effect. You should also turn the Amount
knob fully clockwise so that you can only hear the output of the distortion (if you blend the distorted signal
with the original signal, the distortion will be less pronounced).
