Effect Racks
Effects are a great way for you to manipulate (or mangle) your music
in unique ways to enhance your mix. Torq has a collection of built-in
effects that are specically designed for DJ use: Tempo-synced delays and
strobes. Shimmering phasers and angers. Glitchy repeats and distortions.
Ten effects are ready to go and full of 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 as a miniature tape recorder. It can record a short segment of sound, and then play it back on
command at varying speeds and volumes. DJs use samplers to add additional sounds 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 that play in perfect sync with
your mix.
Snapshots
DJing is done with the hands, but you may nd that your mind wants to hear more than your two hands are capable of. To
surmount this obstacle, Torq allows you to combine multiple movements, such as button presses and knob tweaks, into one
grand gesture called a Snapshot that can be triggered by a single keypress. Torq manages a collection of Snapshots that can be
recalled interchangeably, even in rapid succession. The Snapshots can even be layered together to create massive changes in
your mix.
