[. . . ] Congratulations on your purchase of a Torq-based performance system, one of the finest DJ tools available today. Each qualified M-Audio hardware product works with Torq in a unique fashion, and those methods are outlined in each of their user manuals. This manual will outline the use of the Torq application itself, and we recommend that you read this manual first in order to familiarize yourself with the architecture of Torq. It will then be easier to understand how your hardware works in conjunction with the software. [. . . ] You can resize the width of any of these columns simply by clicking and dragging left and right on any of the vertical lines separating the columns. Additionally, you can re-order the arrangement of the columns by clicking and dragging the column name to a new position (the column name will turn white while doing this). If you wish, you can also hide certain columns from view by right-clicking on a category name and choosing which items to display from the pop-up menu. You can sort the contents of the File List by clicking on any one of the categories at the top of the window. For example, if you click the "Album" category, the File List will be sorted alphabetically (A to Z) by Album name. If you click "Album" again, the order will be reversed (Z to A). You could also click on the BPM column to sort all your songs by their BPM. Note: The Filename column is available in the event that the music you're trying to use does not contain an ID3 tag (such as AIFF and WAV formats) or does not have the proper text filled in. Here, the actual name of the file (as it exists on your hard drive) will be shown. Searching the List The simplest method for searching is to type a keyword (or keywords) into the Search field above the Database/Browser: 1. As soon as you start typing, Torq will begin searching the Database for the letters you have typed. When you stop typing, you'll have a list of all files that contain the search term in one of its fields. For example, if you type the word "love" into the search field, Torq could return the following results: < Search Categories As you can see, the above search worked--it found songs that contained the word "love" in any category. You may have actually wanted files with "love" in the song's name only. To search for such titles, you'll need to confine the scope of the search to the Song category only. Torq will refine its search results and only show songs that contain your search term within the selected field. Using our example above, confining the search to the Song category would yield the following results: Now, only the songs with "love" in their titles are shown. < Ignore Field Torq offers another method for refining your searches by means of the Ignore field. Here, you'll enter terms that you want Torq to omit from the search results. The Ignore command will only be applied to the currently selected categories (explained above). Torq will display only the songs that contain the information required in the Search field while omitting the songs that fit the criteria of the Ignore field. Again, using the example above, entering the term "Lover" into the Ignore field will return the following list: Note: Reference to artists and bands is for informational purposes only and does not imply an endorsement or sponsorship of Torq by such artists or bands. [. . . ] Therefore, if you press the 2 button to create a 2-bar loop, pressing 2 again will reduce the loop to 1 bar in length. You can continue pressing 2 again and again and the loop will get smaller and smaller to the point where only a high-pitched sound is heard. If you hold the SHIFT key while pressing the QuickLoop button, the loop will grow in length--doubling its previous length. There is no limit to how long the loop can be, other than the length of the song. [. . . ]
