EFFECTS

Effects are devices that alter an audio signal. These alterations can range from subtle to extreme and can be a great source

of creative fun within Torq.

Each Deck can be processed individually with multiple effects, and that is the purpose of the Effect Racks. The Effect Racks are located between each Deck and the Mixer and house the three effects contained within Torq LE. You can use up to three effects on each Deck at the same time.

Controls

The controls for the built-in effects are basically the same and are described here.

Enable Button

Before you can use an effect, you must turn it on, and that’s the purpose of the Enable button. While an effect is turned off, you can manipulate its controls and set the effect the way you desire before using it in your mix.

Tweak Knob

Effects are fun because you can alter their qualities while you use them, such as changing the length of a Reverb or Delay, or to change the intensity of a Phaser or Flanger. To keep things simple and easy to manage, Torq LE provides one knob, the Tweak knob, for parameter control on each effect. Because effects alter audio in different ways, the function of this knob will change depending on which effect is loaded in the slot. These functions are listed in the Built-In Effect reference in this manual.

The X-Session Pro hardware controller’s 1, 2, and 3 knobs let you control the Filter, Phaser, and Strobe Tweak knobs found within Torq. Please see chapter 13 to learn more about X-Session Pro.

Tweak Button

The Tweak button works in the same way as the Tweak knob—it will toggle the state of a parameter in the selected effect. Like the Tweak knob, the exact function of the Tweak button will depend on which effect you’re using. The functions are listed in the Built-In Effect reference.
