Waves Torque: tune your drums in the mix

Waves' Torque lets you correct the pitch of your drum skins naturally while maintaining the original attack, resonance, and duration of the sound. Take advantage of the proprietary Organic ReSynthesis engine to adjust pitch without introducing artifacts or loss of definition, unlike traditional pitch shifters.

Get the right tone for every drum part

Kick, snare and toms always perfectly tuned

With the Torque control you can change pitch up to ±1 octave. Thresh and Speed controls let you adjust the dynamic behavior of the plug-in, while Trim and Focus help you sculpt and pinpoint the fundamental frequency of the sound.

Perfect for studio and live performance

Real-time correction with zero latency

Torque is also optimized for use in live settings, where you can intervene on drum tuning even while performing. Ideal for mixing imperfectly tuned drums in real time.

Creative applications on percussion and loops

Automation, pitch effects and evolving timbres

In addition to technical use, Torque also allows creative interventions on ethnic percussion, loops, vintage drums, etc. You can automate the main control to create slides, vocal drums, and new textures.
