REWIRE

Now that you’ve mastered all the techniques and t ricks in Torq, where do you go from

here? Remixing and production. Afte r all, Torq offers you so many tools for remixing

and sound design that you can cross over the boundar y of simply playing songs and easily

enter the realm of music production.

Torq is unique in that it can operate as a ReWire slave. ReWire is a special technolog y

created by Propellerhead that allows two or mo re different audio applications to share

audio and MIDI data. The system i s composed of a single ReWire host and multiple

ReWire slaves. The slaves will all send their audio outputs t o the host, allowing you to

mix, EQ, and reﬁne the audio using the tools wi thin the host application. Further more,

the host and slaves will all share transpor t and timing information, allowing the mult iple

software applications to act a s a single unit.

Torq will interface with any ReWire host application such as Pro Tools or Ableto n Live.

To begin a ReWire session:

1. Launch the ReWire Host application. This could be A bleton Live, Pro Tools

M-Powered, or any other application t hat will host a ReWire session.

2. Launch Torq. Since Torq is launched second, it will automatically l aunch into

ReWire Slave mode.

3. In order to hear Torq, you’ll need to select Torq as the source for audio

channels in the host application. I n Live, this is done by selecting “Torq” in the

top box of the Channel I/O strip. You’ll also need to turn the M onitoring to

“In” to allow the audio from Torq to pass through Live. In Pro Tools, you’ll

create a new Aux track and select the ReWire plug-in i n the top effect slot.

Global Tempo

Torq’s Global Tempo will lock to the tempo and timeline in the ReWire Host application .

This means that any song you play in Torq can sync up to whatever you’re currently

doing in Live or Pro Tools, even if you change the tempo while the musi c is playing.

Simply turn on Torq’s Global Tempo, then turn on Sync in the Decks. The Dec ks will

then sync to the Global Tempo shared by Torq and the ReWire Host.
