We invested!
We invested in groundbreaking innovative features like the latency compensation, a surround capable multichannel, free spline editable compressor/expander/limiter and a unique modulation freezer. Don't worry about leveling anymore, give the crusher-X feedback a shelter to become crazy! We listened to our rapid growing customer base and invested in the grain processing engine, MPE, offline rendering and UI optimizations to make the crusher the best in class live granulizer ever. And we invested again to improve accessibility for visual impaired / blind composers.
How I get it?
Grant yourself an year-end present and invest into this new world of music and sound design. Enjoy crusher-X 7.5!
Since this update is not free for crusher-X 7 users we introduced a special upgrade offer (until 1st Jan 2019) for owners of all minor crusher-X, crusherX-Mac!, crusherX-Studio! or crusherX-Live versions:
Upgrade / crossgrade: 49,- € (instead of 99,- €) (incl. VAT - For outside EU residents VAT will be removed from card)
Full version price:
229,- € (incl. VAT - For outside EU residents VAT will be removed from card)
What's new?
The new multichannel surround compressor/expander/limiter: Never worry again about uncontrolled level changes. Think pumping and swelling surround drones! Don't worry about leveling anymore, give the crusher-X feedback a shelter to become crazy!
Latency compensation: It makes sure that your audio generated by the crusher stays in sync with the track that feeds the crusher (e.g. to stay synchronized on a drum-beat). A smart latency compensation algorithm will calculate a compensation regarding the current "grain gravity" so that the compensation stays meaningful.
The new "Morph Modulation Speed to 0Hz" button freezes the crusher modulations: Depending on the morph time setting all vapor modulations will decelerated and finally paused until the button is released (Tip: Bound it to a MIDI Controller!)
The "Grain to MIDI" function creates MIDI controller events from the current grains and generators following the Volume parameter modulation and the Grain Window volume control. Route these MIDI events via your host to e.g. other MIDI controllable devices like e.g. a DMX Light controller, mixers, instruments etc. This supports advanced multimedia installations where one want to let a MIDI controlled setup follows the current grain-flow.
We completely reworked the Pan system: The panning parameter reacts now much more intuitive and leads to stronger pan effects once starting to modulate it. Fasten your ear belts once you start to use it together with the Spread or Phase modulation and/or surround modes!
crusher-X can be nearly fully controlled without using the visual editor. Around 270 plug-in parameters can be used to automate or steer each parameter. Inspired by working close together with blind composers, accSone developed several features to enable blind / sight impaired musicians to control crusher-X: With the plug-in parameters cursor-X, cursor-Y, SetDelete one can even edit spline curves and step sequences without using a mouse by using virtual X/Y cursors and a set/delete plug-in parameters. The virtual cursor is visualized in the Spline or Step editor as a white cross. This can be used to train the usage of the edit parameters together with a sighted peer.
