MIDI Learn
Every musician approaches their craft from a slightly different direction. DJing is no different. That is why Torq LE is basically a blank slate when run for the first
Creating a MIDI Assignment
Torq LE uses a simple MIDI Learn scheme to make assigning controls on your MIDI controllers a breeze:
1.
2.Move the desired control on your MIDI controller. That is, move the knob or slider you want to use or press the button/key you wish to use.
3.Torq LE will intercept the incoming MIDI message and will instantly assign it to the control. The red highlight will disappear and the MIDI control will be active.
Clearing a MIDI Assignment
If you’ve assigned a MIDI control using MIDI Learn and you wish to clear the assignment, simply
Changing MIDI Assignment
If you assign a MIDI knob, for example, to the Low EQ in the Mixer, you can assign it to the Mid EQ by simply right- clicking
Keyboard Learn
You can also use your computer’s keyboard to control elements of the Torq LE interface using the same method as MIDI Learn above. Simply
Assigning Buttons to Knobs or Sliders
If you so desire, you can assign a MIDI button/key or a key on your computer’s keyboard to a knob or slider in Torq’s interface. When doing this, pressing the MIDI button or key will cause the knob or slider’s value to toggle between an assignable minimum and maximum value. For example, assign the “X” key on your computer keyboard to the Low EQ knob. Turn up the EQ to +6 using the mouse, then press the “X” key on your keyboard. The EQ will jump to 0. Press “X” again, and the EQ will jump back up to +6.
Assigning Knobs or Sliders to Buttons
Conversely, you could assign a MIDI knob or slider to one of Torq’s buttons. When doing this, the button will turn on anytime the knob or slider is turned past its halfway point (outputting a MIDI value greater than 64). The button will turn back off when the knob or slider is moved lower than its halfway point.
