crusherX-Mac!  v3.23
granular synthesis VST plugin for the Mac

crusherX-Mac!  v3.23 is the pure and native AU (Audio Unit) and VST plugin version of crusherX-Live!  for Apple Intel Mac Computer. Its powerful realtime granular vapor synthesizer algorithm enables you to synthesize very complex sounds and cool surround waves. Features: 120 presets, stereo and 10 channel surround Plugin. Cool and unique Physical Modeling Fader Editor, free assignable AU/VST realtime parameters, real time MIDI control, quatization to host, Physical modelling X/Y controller. An overall multidimensional morphing system morphs the sound between each parameter changes (e.g. on bank loading, on undo/redo). This creates clouds of sweeping, shifting and graining sounds. The morph time can be in the range of 1msec up to 1 hour! 

it is more than sound... it is more than music ... it is the crusher!
it is the crusher... for your Mac!

crusherX-Mac! is a pure AU (Audio Unit) and VST plugin effect (VST version 2.4) with 2 inputs and 2/10 outputs (stereo version 2 outputs, surround version 10 outputs) and about 120 presets. It runs on Apple Mac Computers with Intel CPU, 1 GB, 2 GHz CPU and Mac OS X:

Requires Mac OS X v10.4 or higher.

The crusher-X algorithm is based on the traditional granular synthesis algorithm (Xenakis, Roads, Wilkins) invented in the early 1950s. In granular synthesis, short (e.g. 50 milliseconds) sound fragments, "the grains," come from a fixed file buffer. The starting time, length and silence between the grains can be modulated. More than one grain at a time is possible, so you can create complex sound "clouds" from any sound signal.
