CRUSHER-X
Granular Synthesis revolutionized Sound Design, Electronic and Experimental Music! crusher-X does advanced polyphonic multichannel granular synthesis on live input in real-time!
Granular polyphonic multichannel Synthesizer for sound design, electronic and experimental music. Its powerful live granulation algorithm creates very complex sounds, drones, and outstanding surround effects. Since 1999, the crusher-X trademark has been “the” granular effect standard. crusher-X is used by famous sound-designers, composers, musicians, and film-makers all over the world. It comes with GCOs, an Autotune and Pitch tracking system, up to 10-channel surround outputs, up to 199 individual grain streams, unique 3D grain visualization, over 3000 LFOs, over 330 real-time parameters and more than 160 presets.
CRUSHER-X features
- Real-time live and static, polyphonic and multichannel granular synthesis engine that creates grains from live input signals or sound files
- Real-time modulation of all Grain Modulations: Delay, Length, Birth, Offset, GCO Mix, GCO Pitch, Speed, Sweep, WaveShaper, X-Crush, Bit-Crush, Filter, Diffuse, Volume and Pan
- MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) support
- Grain Controlled Oscillator (GCO) system – crusher-X has Oscillator and Sample grain print-ins that can be mixed with the live-input
- Autotune and Pitch tracking system
- Up to 10-channel surround outputs (e.g. 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, 8.2, 9.1)
- Microtonal tuning. Tuned Speed, GCO Pitch and Filter-Cut modulations (Grain-Arpeggiator). Comes with hundreds of different tuning scales and MIDI keyboard control
- Up to 199 individual grain streams (generators) that have multi-core CPU support
