crusherX-Studio! 3 is the VST-Plugin port of the famous crusherX-Live! 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!

crusherX-Studio! 3 supports 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. All interface elements can be assigned to controllers thru an easy to use midi/joystick/vst parameter learning function. The crusher audio engine was reworked from 32bit integer to double processing that increases the sound quality and dynamic range. The new context sensitive help systems allows direct link to the various help topics. crusherX-Studio! is now VST 2.4 compatible and ready to use under Windows 7.
