M-Audio, a leading provider of creative tools for musicians and a part of Avid Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: AVID), announced some days ago at NAMM convention the availability for download within the first quarter of 2008 of Torq 1.5 DJ software.
The press release from M-Audio announces new features in Torq 1.5 version, including Tempo Anchors, Tempo Master, zplane elastique time stretching, send/receive MIDI clock, a new toolbar and a variety of workflow enhancements.


“The software’s new Tempo Anchors allow users to set the phase grid exactly on the beats of the song, even if the song changes tempo. The new Tempo Master function assigns a playing track to serve as the master BPM for everything in Torq, so looped samples, VST effects and other tempo-based features will follow in perfect sync. These new features are enhanced by the addition of zPlane Elastique time-compression/expansion technology, a powerful new algorithm designed for stretching full music tracks without rhythmic anomalies.
As a full-featured virtual workstation, Torq 1.5 software allows performers to incorporate outboard MIDI hardware into their audio production setups. Torq 1.5 software can send and receive MIDI beat clock for total synchronization with drum machines, effects boxes and other computers. Multiple DJs can connect with each other and share the same tempo across systems, which improves collaboration between artists.”

Torq 1.5 DJ mixing software is currently expected to be available for Windows® XP-, Windows Vista®- and Mac® OS X-based systems. The cost of upgrading from any previous version of Torq is USD$50.
