Torq 2.0 can intelligently assign a deck as the Tempo Master automatically

Auto Master Deck Selection

By default, Torq 2.0 automatically chooses which deck will be the Master Deck, based on the position of the Crossfader and Level Meters, as well as which deck has been playing the longest while routed to the master output. The tempo and beat position of the Master Deck controls the tempo and beat position of any slave/synced deck(s). This means, all tempo based Torq functions and Looped samples will follow its tempo even if there are tempo changes (set with Tempo Anchors).



Pressing the AUTO button in the Torq Toolbar deactivates and activates Auto Master Deck.  With Auto Master Deck Selection Off, you can manually designate a deck as the Master Deck (see below), or you can use the Global Tempo to control the tempo and beat position of the slave/synced decks and looped samples.

 

Master Button

Clicking this button on a Deck selects that Deck as the Master Deck and the Master Tempo will change to the tempo of the “new” Master Deck. With a Deck set as the Tempo Master, all tempo based Torq functions and Looped samples will follow its tempo even if there are tempo changes (set with Tempo Anchors).  If you’re using Torq Xponent as your controller, you can select a Master Deck by holding a SHIFT button on the controller and pressing the corresponding Sync button. The Auto Master Deck function will be disabled and the Xponent Sync button will flash, confirming that the target deck is the Master.

If you are using Torq with qualified third party controller, refer to the documentation provided with your hardware for detail about the equivalent functionality.
