< MIDI Slider/Knob Control
MIDI control of the Key Adjust is different from other controls in Torq. You can assign a knob or slider to the
Key Adjust, or you can assign keys on your MIDI keyboard—the behavior of the Key Adjust is dependent on
your control method.
1. Right-click (CTRL-click, Mac) on the Key Display; it will turn red indicating that it’s waiting for an
assignment.
2. Move a MIDI knob or slider on your MIDI controller. This will automatically assign the knob or slider to
the Key Adjust.
3. The Key will be adjustable in one-semitone steps.
4. MIDI CC value 64 equals + 0 semitones. This generally means when the knob or slider of your MIDI
controller is at center position, the Key will be at 0.
< MIDI Button Control
1. Right-click (CTRL-click, Mac) on the [+] Key Adjust button. It will turn red indicating that it’s waiting for
an assignment.
2. Press a button on your MIDI controller to assign it to the [+] Key Adjust button.
3. Right-click (CTRL-click, Mac) on the [-] Key Adjust button. It will turn red indicating that it’s waiting for
an assignment.
4. Press a button on your MIDI controller to assign it to the [-] Key Adjust button.
5. Now that your buttons are assigned, press the button assigned to [+]. The Key will move up one
semitone.
6. Now press both buttons simultaneously.
7. The Key Adjust will return to 0.
< MIDI Keyboard Control
1. If you have an additional MIDI controller keyboard attached, make sure that it has been properly installed
and is configured to work with Torq LE. Please see chapter 6 for more information about configuring
your MIDI keyboards to control Torq.
2. Right-click (CTRL-click, Mac) on the Key Display. It will turn red indicating that it’s waiting for an
assignment.
3. Press a key on your MIDI keyboard. This key will automatically be assigned as the “root key” of the Torq
Key Adjust.
4. If you press a MIDI key that is 1 semitone ABOVE the root key, the Deck’s Key will be changed to +1
(semitones).
5. If you press a MIDI key that is 2 semitones BELOW the root key, the Deck’s Key will be changed to -2
(semitones).
6. The range of Key transposition is plus or minus (+/-) 12 semitones. This makes it possible to control the
Key Adjust of both Decks using a single MIDI controller keyboard, as long as the keyboard has enough
keys to make up four (4) octaves.
Note: Torq LE will allow notes from the same controller and same MIDI channel to be used as long as
the root keys are at least two octaves apart.
