Torq and Rewire
Torq’s ReWire capabilities allow it to be run alongside applications such as Pro Tools or Ableton Live on the
same computer. MIDI Clock will allow you to sync up the two applications across two computers. While you
won’t be able to transfer audio from Torq to the other application without making additional audio interface
connections, you can at least get both programs to run in sync with each other. Then, adding clips in Live or
tracks in Torq will result in one synchronized performance between both computers.
Setting Up MBC Input
To slave Torq’s Master Tempo to an external MIDI device:
1
Connect the MIDI Output of the external device to a MIDI Input on your computer.
In Torq’s MIDI Preferences, select the MIDI Input port mentioned above as the MBC Input. Close the Preferences.
2
3 Click the AUTO button in Torq’s Toolbar to disable Auto Master Deck. Torq’s Master Tempo will run independently until an incoming MIDI Clock is received.
Enable transmission of MIDI Clock from your external device. Please refer to the product’s user manual for
the proper method of doing this.
4
5
Start the external device (possibly by pressing Play or Run).
The Master Tempo display will change to match the tempo of the external device. The Master Tempo LED’s
in the Torq Toolbar will also flash in time with the external device.

Setting Up MBC Output
To slave an external MIDI device to Torq:
Connect a MIDI cable from the MIDI Output from your computer to the MIDI Input of the external MIDI
device.
1
In Torq’s MIDI Preferences, select a MIDI Output port as the MBC Output and close the Preferences. At this
point the MIDI out indicator will glow red.
2
Midi Out Indicator
On your external MIDI device, enable reception of MIDI Clock. Refer to the product’s user manual for further instructions.
3
On some external devices, you’ll need to put it into a “standby” mode where it waits for MIDI Clock before
it starts to run. This may require pressing Play or Run—please check with the product’s user manual to see if
this is required.
4
In Torq, enable Auto Master Deck by clicking the AUTO button in the Toolbar or manually select a Master
Deck by clicking its Master button. Torq will transmit MIDI Clock at the tempo specified in the master Tempo
Display in the Torq Toolbar, but the external devices will not run.
