yeah i’m using torq with the xponent for about a year and a half. i like it a lot.
it’s never crashed at a gig, but these new features in v1.5 make me nervous about that.
the timestretching sounds great for starters. before you couldn’t speed up and keep it at the same pitch, but now you can like a cd-j
Yeah that’s pretty bad indeed, but like you say at least it made it ^_^
Are you using Torq?
if i may add anything to this news item – this update was “shown” at the last namm, but it got delayed by almost a year.
in my opinion it takes the cake on the most embarrassing event in software development for 2008. but alas it’s here and the features are great.
