Waves Torque is a drum pitch-shifter plug-in designed to provide detailed modification of the pitch of a drum signal in real time for front-of-house and studio mixing engineers in project studios, commercial recording facilities, and live stage applications. Without relying on samples or time-intensive triggering, its Organic ReSynthesis technology allows you to adjust pitch up to a full octave (1200 cents) up or down. It works in mono and stereo and boasts latency as low as 32 samples in the standard component or zero latency in the Torque Live component.

The input signal is shown on the Focus Display, which is a formant analyzer that allows you to identify and fine-tune location of the fundamental pitch. An adjustable threshold makes it easy to prevent pitch-shifting bleed from other drums. The Torque Trim slider provides easy control over the level of the processed signal. Tweak attack and release times via the Speed control.

Torque supports AAX Native, AudioSuite, Audio Units, VST, and SoundGrid formats and works on Mac OS X and Windows systems.
