Grain Controlled Oscillators
crusher-X 8 introduces Grain Controlled Oscillators (GCOs)! Think of hundreds of individual Oscillators or Sample-players that enjoy their crazy life “inside” each grain. With the new GCO Grain Modulation you can “color”, “enrich”, “destroy”, “overlay” or “nibble” live drones with any sonic or tuned audio layer you can dream of, as well as can make them appear or disappear depending on the GCO Mix Modulation. Choose free defined Waveforms or even use audio files as a sample source! And more: Not only can you apply GCOs “on-top” – you can let the GCOs interfere with your audio-input via Ring- or FM-Modulation! Switch the modes thru the crusher-X morphing system. Unlimited fun!
Crusher-X 8.11 New Features
- Adds GCO MIDI Pitch Button that allows direct Keyboard pitching of GCOs
- Adds MIDI Pitch-Wheel control also in non MPE MIDI Modes
- Adds GCO to the Anti Aliasing Mode that improves the sound quality of GCOs on lower pitches
- Adds 180% GUI Scale option
- Adds reset to DCO and GCO filenames and reset to GCO-Mode when patches from previous versions are loaded
- Adds MIDI learn context Menu and function to ProgramUp and ProgramDn buttons
- Optimizes GCO-Mix volume sensitivity
- Optimizes GCO and DCO morphing on patch changes and undo/redo
- Optimizes MIDI Mapping grid and learn view, fix grid row size issue for larger GUI Scales
- Fixes issues with a high amount of grain generation on using Gated or MPE MIDI Modes
- Fixes issues that Undo and Redo didn’t execute on a plug-in parameter change
- Fixes issue with MIDI Mapping learn of Adore parameters
- Fixes missing morph on the GCO-Mode Waveform selection
- Fixes issues with DCO and GCO morphing of Splines Waveforms
- Fixes seldom noise when switching over to GCO File Mode
- Fixes seldom value jumps on Grain Modulation faders in case the Mouse-Wheel or the PM-Wheel is used
- Fixes seldom click when changing generator numbers with Diffuse Grain Modulation on
- Optimized Diffuse algorithm
- vstwrap (Windows only): Fixes Oscilloscope resolution
