Torq Xponent User Guide

Appendix B: Controlling Torq Effects  

Using the Trackpad

10

When Xponent’s MIDI Mode button (19) is engaged, the Trackpad (16) can be used to control the effect parameters within Torq.  
In general, sliding your finger across the X-axis (i.e., left/right) controls one of the on-screen effect knobs while dragging along the 
Y-axis (up/down) controls the other knob.  However, for certain effects, Xponent gives you deeper access to parameters that are not 
available through the user interface of Torq.  Finally, some effects are activated or deactivated by simply touching or releasing the 
pad (for these effects, dragging your finger along the pad does not alter the effect).

When the MIDI Mode button is engaged, the Left (17) and Right Mouse buttons (18) allow you to cycle through the effects slots and 
pick the effect you’d like to control using the Trackpad.

Xponent’s Trackpad can manipulate Torq effects in the following ways:

[

Note: 

 Refer to the Torq User Guide for more information about Torq’s effects.] 

DELAY:

X-axis: 

Controls the Feedback knob of the Delay effect.  The amount of feedback increases as your finger moves left to right.

Y-axis:

 Controls the Send Amount knob.  The amount of the effect you hear increases as your finger slides from the bottom 

of the Trackpad to the top.

REVERB:

X-axis:

 Controls the Reverb Time knob.  Reverberation time increases as your finger moves from the left edge of the 

Trackpad to the right.

Y-axis: 

Controls the Send Amount knob.  The amount of reverb you hear increases as your finger slides from the bottom of 

the Trackpad to the top.

FLANGER:

X-axis: 

Controls the Flanger Delay knob.  The left side of the Trackpad corresponds to the fully counter-clockwise position of 

the on-screen knob. The knob turns clockwise as your finger moves to the right.

Y-axis:

 Controls the amount of feedback heard in the effect, which is a hidden parameter.  There is no feedback when your 

finger is at the bottom of the Trackpad.  Feedback increases as your finger slides up the pad.

PHASER:

This effect has the same behavior as Flanger effect described above.
