QuickScratch

While ring off samples using the Trigger buttons can be a lot of fun, it d oesn’t always provide t he level of cont rol that

you may want for the sample. Torq’s QuickScratch feature allows you to control the sample using the variable-speed and

variable-key engine wi thin a Deck. This means you can scratch the s ample using the mouse or with the Torq Control Vinyl

or Control CD systems.

< Assigning Samples

Torq features two QuickScratch slots— QS1 and QS2. You’ll see that each sampler has a pair of these QS butto ns.

Pressing one of the b uttons assigns that sampl e to the associated QuickScr atch slot (i.e. pressing the QS1 but ton

on Sampler 1 will assign th e sample to QS1).

< Activating QuickScratch

Each of Torq’s Decks also have a pair of QuickScratch buttons. When you press one of them, the associated sample

assigned using the QuickScratch bu ttons in the Sam pler will be immediat ely loaded into the Deck. You can then

manipulate the sample in the same manner used for full songs. Press the QuickScratch button again and the original

song will be loaded back into the D eck. Here’s a practical example:

You place your two favorite scratching sounds into the sampler s—you put the “Aaaah” sample into Sampler 1 and

the “Fresh” sample into Sampl er 2. You then activate QS1 in S ampler 1 and QS 2 in Sampler 2 . Now, when you

press QS1 in a Deck, the “Aaaah” sa mple will be loaded. Pressing QS2 result s in the “Fresh” sample being loaded.

This allows you to access your favorite scrat ch sounds with the quick push of a button.

Note: If the user changes the QuickScrat ch assignment in the Sampler w hile using the QuickScratch feature on a Deck,

the sample used in the Deck wil l be updated immediately.
