AMPutate mode differs from Standard Mode because you must use Torq's on-screen Speed sliders to match tempos as opposed to using the pitch sliders on your turntable or CD player. This is because External Control can be toggled back and forth between the Decks at will. Any time you do this, you'll want the decks to keep their previous tempos. The advantage to this setup is you can make use of Torq's automatic beat-matching! Simply click the Deck's Sync button and it's Speed slider will be moved to match the tempo of the other Deck.
Note: Because the AMPutate system allows you to swap control between two independent Decks, the Decks are forced into Relative mode to prevent any undesirable jumps in playback position when toggling control. Therefore, when using AMPutate mode, you will use the on-screen controls (Fast Forward, Rewind, Overview Waveform, QuickCues, etc.) to set the playback position of the song -- needle drops will not work.
