accSone has announced an update to its granular synthesis software. Version 11.20 of crusher-X brings some new features, improvements and fixes.
The MIDI trigger button is now available on each Grain Modulator tab, which has a significant impact on the sound.
It synchronizes the Grain Modulator LFOs with each ‘MIDI Note On’ event, restarting the grain modulation when the MIDI keyboard is pressed. As shown in the above video, an example of the resulting modulation can now be seen when the Grain Modulator is switched to ‘Keyboard Sensitive’, as found in classical synthesizer options.
Other changes in the update include:
- Adds Options for each Generator Modulation to synchronize on a MIDI Note On event.
- Improves Solo/Mute out channel switch.
- Moves license name display to about box (full version).
- Fixes MACRO range and unit of DCO FM modulation.
- Fixes issue with saving/loading different DCO and Output Volumes within a Volume group.
- Fixes issue with displaying the Learn Context Menu on Tab buttons.
- Improves Program Bank loading so that there is not reset of DCO and ADSR settings depending on the plug-in type (synth, effect).
- Expands DCO Frequency range to 12kHz.
- Improves DCO UI layout.
- macOS: Fixes seldom license lost issues.
