Global Tempo LEDs
To the left of the Global Tempo display is a horizontal arrangement of 4 lights. These will light in succession (creating
a “chase” pattern) that will indicate the Global Tempo’s position within a bar. These lights will only chase when Global
Tempo is activated.
Global Tempo Metronome
If you click the Headphone button next to the Global Tempo LEDs, you will hear a metronome sound in your
headphones. This will allow you to hear the position of the Global Tempo. Though the sound of the Metronome can be
heard in the headphones, it will not be recorded into the Sampler.
Using a Deck as a Tempo Master
Because songs can contain tempo changes (Tempo Anchors), it is now possible to have the Global Tempo follow a Deck.
To do this, hold SHIFT while engaging Sync. The Sync button will flash indicating that the Deck is now the Tempo Master
for Torq. The Global Tempo will follow the tempo changes in the song which will cause all other aspects of Torq to follow
the tempo changes.
