EFFECTS
Effects are devices that alter an audio
signal. These alterations can range
from subtle to extreme and can be
a great source of creative fun within
Torq.
Each Deck can be processed
individually with multiple effects, and
that is the purpose of the Effect Racks.
The Effect Racks are located between
each Deck and the Mixer and will
house up to three effects from Torq’s
built-in library as well as one external
VST effect. This means you can be
using up to eight effects within your
mix at the
same time.
Controls
The controls for the built-in and external VST effects are basically the same and will be
described here. The VST effects have some additional controls and considerations of
which to be aware, and these will be covered in the next chapter.
Effect Slot
To begin using effects, you need to select an effect for use in one of the Effect
Slots. Each slot can hold one effect which you’ll choose from a list:
1. Click on an empty Effect Slot. A pop-up list of available effects will appear.
2. Click on one of the effect names from the list to load it into the slot.
When loaded, an icon will appear in the Effect Slot representing which
effect is
in use.
3. To remove an effect, choose the “blank” effect at the top of the pop-up list.
Enable Button
Before you can use an effect, you must turn it on, and that’s the purpose of the
Enable button. By default, this button will be off whenever you load a new effect.
This allows you to set the effect the way you desire before you use it in your mix.
✓
Note:
Some of the effects don’t utilize the Enable button and will function in a
different way (which is outlined in the various effect sections later in this manual).
