QuickScratch

While ﬁring off samples using the Trigger bu ttons can be a lot of fun, it doesn’t always provide the leve l of control that

you may want for the sample. Torq’s QuickScratch feature allows you t o control the sample using the variable -speed and

variable-key engine within a Deck . This means you can scratch the sample u sing 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 e ach sampler has a pair of these QS

buttons. Pressing one of the but tons assigns that sample to the associ ated QuickScratch slot (i.e. pressing the

QS1 button on Sampler 1 will assign the sa mple to QS1).

< Activating QuickScratch

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

sample assigned using the QuickSc ratch buttons in the Sampler will b e immediately loaded into the Deck. You

can then manipulate the sample in t he same manner used for full songs. Press the Qu ickScratch button again and

the original song will be loaded back into t he Deck. Here’s a practical example:

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

and the “Fresh” sample into Sampler 2 . You then activate QS1 in Sampler 1 and QS2 in Sampler 2 . Now, when

you press QS1 in a Deck, the “Aaaah” sample will be loaded . Pressing QS2 results in the “Fresh” sample bei ng

loaded. This allows you to access your favorite scratc h sounds with the quick push of a button.

< Looping a QuickScratch

If a one-shot sample is used as a QuickScratch, t he sample will not be looped when loaded onto t he Deck. If a

looped sample is used as a QuickScra tch, the sample will be looped when loade d onto the Deck so that it will

play indeﬁnitely.

✓ Note: If you change the QuickScratch assig nment in the Sampler while using the QuickScra tch feature on a Deck,

the sample used in the Deck will be updated i mmediately.
