QuickScratch<br />
While firing off samples using the Trigger buttons can be a lot of fun, it doesn’t always provide the level of control that<br />
you may want for the sample. <strong>Torq</strong>’s QuickScratch feature allows you to control the sample using the variable-speed and<br />
variable-key engine within a Deck. This means you can scratch the sample using the mouse or with the <strong>Torq</strong> Control Vinyl<br />
or Control CD systems .<br />
< Assigning Samples<br />
<strong>Torq</strong> features two QuickScratch slots—QS1 and QS2. You’ll see that each sampler has a pair of these QS buttons.<br />
Pressing one of the buttons assigns that sample to the associated QuickScratch slot (i.e. pressing the QS1 button<br />
on Sampler 1 will assign the sample to QS1).<br />
< Activating QuickScratch<br />
Each of <strong>Torq</strong>’s Decks also have a pair of QuickScratch buttons. When you press one of them, the associated sample<br />
assigned using the QuickScratch buttons in the Sampler will be immediately loaded into the Deck. You can then<br />
manipulate the sample in the same manner used for full songs. Press the QuickScratch button again and the original<br />
song will be loaded back into the Deck. Here’s a practical example:<br />
You place your two favorite scratching sounds into the samplers—you put the “Aaaah” sample into Sampler 1 and<br />
the “Fresh” sample into Sampler 2. You then activate QS1 in Sampler 1 and QS2 in Sampler 2. Now, when you<br />
press QS1 in a Deck, the “Aaaah” sample will be loaded. Pressing QS2 results in the “Fresh” sample being loaded.<br />
This allows you to access your favorite scratch sounds with the quick push of a button.<br />
Note: If the user changes the QuickScratch assignment in the Sampler while using the QuickScratch feature on a Deck,<br />
the sample used in the Deck will be updated immediately.
