accSone releases crusherX-Mac! 3

accSone is pleased to announce the new release of VST/AU plugin crusherX-Mac!

crusherX-Mac! is the full mac port of the crusherX-Studio! granular synthesis effect system. The new innovative tuning feature allows creating grain clouds that are tuned. Beside the well tempered standard scale the package contains thousands of historical, experimental, microtonal and exotic non western intonation scales that can be used to manipulate the pitch of the grains. Play the cloud with your midi keyboard!

crusher-X supports Multi CPU grain generation. A unique Vapor Overdrive section is available. It allows strange grain overdrive effects that are ideally used together with guitar input sounds. The overdrive curve can be edited via a new feature rich spline editor. The whole granular engine supports multichannel input processing so that the stereo information of an input signal is not destroyed. All interface elements can be assigned to controllers thru an easy to use midi or vst parameter learning function. Additional velocity, channel pressure and key aftertouch controllers can be assigned as a source for the cloud modulation. The crusher audio engine supports great sound quality and high dynamic range. The context sensitive help systems allows direct link to the various help topics. crusherX-Mac! is VST 2.4 and AU compatible and ready to use under Mac OS for Apple Computers with Intel CPU. Beside mono and stereo full surround sound on 5.1, 7.1, and up to 10 channel setups are supported.

About crusherX-Mac! 3

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!
