< Keyboard Learn
You can also use your computer’s keyboard to control elements of the Torq interface using the same method
as MIDI Learn above. Simply right-click (CTRL-click for Mac) on a control on screen, then press a key on your
keyboard. That key will then be assigned to the selected control. The same method for changing and clearing
MIDI assignments described above also works for keyboard assignments.
< Assigning Buttons to Knobs or Sliders
If you so desire, you can assign a MIDI button/key or a key on your computer’s keyboard to a knob or slider
in Torq’s interface. When doing this, pressing the MIDI button or key will cause the knob or slider’s value to
toggle between an assignable minimum and maximum value. For example, assign the “X” key on your computer
keyboard to the Low EQ knob. Turn up the EQ to +6 using the mouse, then press the “X” key on your keyboard.
The EQ will jump to 0. Press “X” again, and the EQ will jump back up to +6.
< Assigning Knobs or Sliders to Buttons
Conversely, you could assign a MIDI knob or slider to one of Torq’s buttons. When doing this, the button will
turn on anytime the knob or slider is turned past its halfway point (outputting a MIDI value greater than 64). The
button will turn back off when the knob or slider is moved lower than its halfway point.
