Reverb

Reverb is the phenomenon in which sound bounces of f the walls within a room, creating hundre ds (thousands?) of echoes

that cannot be individually identi ﬁed by the human ear. The total result of all these echoes i s a wide and ethereal sound

that can add a nice touch of space to your mix.

The most obvious characteristic of a Rever b is how long it lasts. This is referred to as the Reverb T ime and is the only

adjustable parameter in Torq’s Reverb effect.

< Enable button

This button enables and disables the Reverb ef fect. If this button is swit ched off while the Reverb is active, the

sound of the Reverb will be cut off.

< Mix Knob and Routing Button

When the neighboring Routing button is set to Sen d mode, the Mix knob will set the amount of sign al fed into

the Reverb processor. This signal will then be blended wit h the original signal from the Deck, mak ing it sound like

the Reverb was added to the song.

When the Routing button is set to Insert mode , the Mix knob will adjust the Dry/Wet bal ance of the Reverb.

The difference is that the audio gener ated by the Reverb will replace the original song as you tur n this knob up.

By default, the Reverb effect will load with t he Routing button set to Send mode since thi s is the typical way to

use a Reverb. However, feel free to experiment with Inser t mode—you can create ambient textu res that can be

interesting to blend into your mix.

< Tweak Knob

This knob controls the Reverb time. When fully countercl ockwise, the Reverb will be extremely s hort, similar to

the sound heard in a small shower stall. As you tur n this knob clockwise, the Reverb will be come longer until it

sounds similar to a huge cathedral.

< Tweak Button

Pressing this button will “freeze” the Reverb. When act ivated, the Reverb will stop accepting audio in put from

the Deck and will feed back on itself ins tead. The result is a reverb that “hangs” or “stalls” i ndeﬁnitely. When you

turn Freeze off, the Reverb will begin accepti ng input signals again, and the current “f rozen” reverb will fade away

following the current Reverb Time. This can be ano ther interesting way to ﬁll up space during a bre ak or to add

emphasis to a hit in the song.
