M-Audio released Torq 1.5

ImageToen het product net de markt op getrapt werd was het een hot item als het ging om alternatieven voor een tijdcode vinyl setup van de toenmalige grootmachten Serato Scratch en Final Scratch. Torq werd echter door de maanden heen steeds meer naar de achtergrond gedreven, het was een systeem met behoorlijke eisen aan de pc, er waren bugs en veel mensen begonnen te klagen over het systeem. De mensen bij Torq zitten echter niet te slapen en releasen versie 1.5 waarin een aantal zaken flink verbeterd zijn.

New Features in Torq 1.5:


  • Improved Tempo/Pitch Alteration
  • Tempo Anchors allow marking tracks with varying tempos—Torq’s effects and samples follow the tempo changes in the song
  • Tempo Master assigns a playing track to serve as the master tempo source for all tempo-related functions
  • Plane Elastique time-stretching/compression technology for sophisticated beat matching and pitch alteration

    Advanced MIDI Control

  • transmit/receive MIDI beat clock for sync with other hardware/software and easy switching between DJs
  • MIDI soft takeover prevents parameter jumps when using external controllers

    New User Interface Features

  • Hide Mixer option conserves screen space
  • preview songs in headphones before loading to deck
  • new databse categories for bit rate, file type, year and label
  • select multiple files to add to playlists
  • Musical Style Preferences improve results when analyzing tracks
  • drag and drop songs into decks while in browser max view
  • warning message if loading a new song onto a Deck that is playing
  • warning message when attempting to exit Torq
  • optimized control locations
  • intuitive toolbar buttons and MIDI/tempo indicators
  • Global Tempo metronome can be monitored in headphones
  • Auto Gain feature matches the gain levels between decks

    Enhanced Effects Processing

  • internal effects can be grouped into effects chains    * VST effect tempo synchronizes with tempo of playing deck
  • effects can be used in a post-fader configuration

    Rock-Solid Integration with Traditional DJ Hardware

  • Skip Protection keeps the music playing even if the Control Vinyl or CD skips
  • True Key Lock keeps the pitch constant when adjusting external turntable speed

    New Looping Functionality

  • Loop points can be set after a section plays
  • new QuickLoop option for CDJ-style loop division
  • Quantize function for start/stop accuracy

Wat dan wel weer jammer is naar mijn mening is dat er voor de update 50 dollar neergeteld moet worden. De update is voor zoer mij bekend nog nergens te verkrijgen maar zal in de loop der weken wel in de shops komen te liggen.
