Effect Racks

Effects are a great way for you t o manipulate (or m angle) your music

in u nique ways to enhance your mix. Torq has a collectio n of built-in

effects that are spec ically designed for DJ use: Tempo-synced delays and

strobes. Shimmering phasers and angers. Glitchy repeats and distortions.

Ten effects are re ady to go and full o f creative potential. You can use up

to three of these effects on each Deck, and you can also expand your

collection using widely- available VST plug-ins.

Sampler

A Sampler can be thought of a s a miniature tape recorder. It can record a short s egment of sound , and then play it b ack on

command at varying speeds and volumes. DJs use samplers to add additional sou nds into their mix like crash cymbals, boomy

bass drums, and vocal hits. Torq has a 16-cell sampler that can play audio les and record loops th at play in perfe ct sync with

your mix.

Snapshots

DJing is done with the hands, but you may nd th at your mind wants to hear more than your t wo hands are capable of. To

surmount thi s obstacle, Torq allows you to combine multiple movements, such as button presses and k nob tweaks, into one

grand gesture called a Snapshot that can be trig gered by a single keypress. Torq manages a collec tion of Snapshots that can be

recalled in terchangeably, even in rapid succession. The Snapshots can even be layered together to create massive changes in

your mix.
