Adjusting With The Mouse; Adjusting With Nudge Buttons; Adjusting With Offset Buttons - M-Audio Torq Conectiv User Manual

When a mis-alignment occurs (as seen above), you'll see that the grid does not line up with the beginnings of the beats (transients)

in the waveform. In the example, the Phase Grid is too early, leaving a gap between the grid lines and the transients in the

waveform.

There are a number of ways to ﬁ x a mis-aligned Phase Grid. Which method you choose to use will probably depend on whether

you're comfortable using the mouse and keyboard, or whether you prefer to use external MIDI control. The results are all the

same, so choose whichever feels good for you.

Adjusting with the Mouse

Hold down the Shift key, then click-and-drag left or right with the mouse.

The Phase Grid will move left or right, following your mouse movements.

Once you have aligned the thicker "downbeat" marker of the grid to the downbeat of the music, release the mouse

button.

Note: You can turn on Caps Lock instead of holding Shift if you need to adjust the grid using just one hand. Turn off Caps Lock

when you're ﬁ nished so you can regain proper control of the waveforms.

Hold down the Shift key, then click on one of the Nudge buttons.

The Phase Grid will move left or right depending on which Nudge button you click.

Use the buttons to align the thicker "downbeat" marker of the grid to the downbeat of the music.

Hold down the Shift key, then click on one of the Offset buttons.

Instead of making a small change to the Phase Grid, this will have the effect of moving the grid an entire beat left

or right. This is a quick way to ﬁ x the Phase Grid if it happens to be aligned to the beats but has the downbeat in

the wrong location.
