Setup

This page allows direct access to the desired Setup Dialogs. You find this dialogs also under the Crusher menu.

Use the Auto-Start option to let the crusher automatic starting after opening the application. This is very useful for art installations where crusher is launched by the Windows Autostart Folder..

Use the Autoload option to let the crusher load automatic the Crusher-Sheet "autoload.crx" and the Loadlist "autoload.cxl" after opening the application. This is usefull if you like to setup your custom made starting point.

Use the Morph on Out Volume checkbox if you wish to have the morphing also on the Output Faders. During Live-Operation it is better to have direct access to the output volume and have no morphing-delay on the changes. If you like to have smoother morphing between two crusher-sheets (e.g. by using the load-list) it is useful to check this box: Now the morphing applies also to the output-volume.

Directories

During loading a crusher-sheet the audio-files (wav-files) are searched in the following sequence:

• In the original position, stored in the crusher-sheet
• In the directory of the crusher-sheet
• In the directories that are defined in the "Searching WAV-Files in:" Box
• In the directory of the application

• In the original position, stored in the loadlist
• In the directory of the loadlist 
• In the directories that are defined in the "Searching CRX-Files in:" Box
• In the directory of the application

Load/Undo Each time you save the crusher-sheets all settings and options are saved together including e.g. window positions, midi settings, joystick settings etc.. But you are able to choose how the crusher will overwrite these settings on loading a sheet. Just disable the checkboxes, and the settings are not overwritten by a normal sheet loading. In this case it can be interpreted as "global" values which are only restored on starting the application.

If you want Undo/Redo functions also at changes that comes from MIDI or Joystick, check the MIDI & Joystick option.

If you don't want the loading of a crusher-sheet to overwrite your midi settings, then disable the option MIDI Settings.

If you don't want the loading of a crusher-sheet to overwrite your joystick settings, then disable the option Joystick Settings.

If you don't want the window arrangement loaded with the crusher-sheets then disable the option Window Positions. 

If you don't want the loading of a crusher-sheet to overwrite your limiter settings, then disable the option Limiter Settings.

If you don't want the loading of a crusher-sheet to overwrite your Morph and Loadlist Times disable the option Morph & Loadlist Times.

To override this settings on loading a sheet check the Save check with sheets option before saving a crusher sheet. On loading such a crusher sheet, the desired loads will be done even if the above checkboxes are unchecked. With this method you can create a sheet that forces e.g. a special Controller-Setups.

Note: On opening the application the crusher-sheet (file) crusherxlive.crx is loaded automatically. This file is automatically generated on closing crusher-X. The file is loaded with overriding the loading options (all loading options checked). This method allows crusher-X to use the unchecked items as global settings. 

Interface

The crusher try to adjust his interface scaling on starting to your actual screen size. If you like to use other settings you can adjust the interface scaling and the font of the interface. Press apply to check the desired scaling.

If you are an "crusher expert", then disable the show hints option. 

You can assign an own picture the background of the X/Y-Field. See the bowl transformation! Clear the box if you like to have the grid back Background

You can adjust the background settings and use your own picture. Clear the picture file box and restart the application to reset to the default background.

If you like you can set the crushers background picture as your windows desktop background. Just enable the second checkbox and press apply.
