accSone releases crusherX-Live! 5

accSone is pleased to announce the new release of crusherX-Live! 5:

crusherX-Live! 5 comes with a new and innovative tuning feature that allows creating tuned grain clouds. 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!

crusherX-Live! support Multi CPU grain generation. That means a drastic increase of the grain amount in real time. A new very unique Vapor Overdrive section is added. 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 stereo information of a signal is no longer ignored. Four more DCOs are added to support wider stereo DCO sound generation. All interface elements can be assigned to controllers thru an easy to use midi/joystick/vst parameter learning function. The VST Bridges now are able to send VST Parameters and MIDI to the main application. The crusher is ready to use under Windows 7.
