Tras numerosos retrasos M-Audio ha presentado la actualizacion 1.0.7 de Torq con algunas novedades sobre todo en lo relaccionado con la estabilidad.
Recordemos que esta actualizacion gratuita es la antesala de la esperada version 1.5 (de pago) que si sera un salto importante en lo referente a nuevas caracteristicas.
Esta version sustituira a la anterior 1.0.6, su instalacion aparte de recomendable casi sera obligatoria ya que M-Audio ha anunciado que solo dara soporte a esta version, para su actualizacion desde versiones anteriores M-Audio ha puesto a disposicion del que lo requiera unos pasos a seguir para evitar conflictos,la teneis en sus versiones para MAC y WIN.
En mi opinion aparte de las mejoras en estabilidad, esta actualizacion se torna insuficiente, con pocas novedades destacables para un publico que pedia muchisimos mas añadidos, como por ejemplo la primitiva funcion de preescuchar una cancion directamente desde la libreria.
Para descargarlo teneis que registraros en la pagina de M-Audio, pero mas comodidad la he subido a la pagina.
Caracteristicas completas

- General increases in performance and application stability under load and over time.
- Improvements made to Database searching and browser handling.
- New Dialog Boxes added to indicate when Adding Files to the Database.
- Added support of Y/Enter keys and N/Esc keys will answer all Yes / No option dialogs.
- Effects gain preferences are now customizable.
o Each effect now has an individual makeup gain setting in the TorqEngine.prefs file. A few effects, such as Flanger, Phaser, and Band-Pass filter, have louder default levels in this version. If you prefer to keep the original volumes, set all levels to 1.0 in the prefs file. Each effect should be loaded in Torq, before the setting will appear in the preference file.
- Tempo sensitive effect parameters now respond under External Control.
- Tempo-sensitive effects now follow the tempo of songs under external control.
* Note: In order to full realize this improvement with the Repeater Effect, you must keep the song's tempo constant for the first 2 bars after engaging the Repeater, after which the effect will follow any tempo changes you make via external control (ie Vinyl or CD timecode).
- Run-out Protection on CD Timecode accuracy improved.
- PTMP and Torq ReWire implementation improved.
Before updating to Torq v1.0.7, users who wish to retain previously created playlists, MIDI mappings, sample banks or samples, snapshots, effects and bank settings should perform the following steps in order to back up your existing configuration.
