accSone has announced a major update to its granular synthesis software for Windows and macOS. Version 12 of crusher-X transforms immersive sound design with a stunningly fluid, interactive 3D environment and an even deeper connection between grains, space, and motion.
At the heart of this evolution lies the brand-new Grain-controlled interactive 12-path 3D Panner, developed in close collaboration with Grammy-award-winning recording engineer and music producer Hans-Martin Buff, known for his groundbreaking spatial work with artists such as Prince, Scorpions, and Peter Gabriel. Together, accSone and Buff created an innovative 3D Panner concept that merges artistic precision with technical depth – allowing every grain to move through space as a living, breathing sonic entity.
The intuitive 3D spline editor and the unique “stick-to-walls” speaker snap feature bring an entirely new dimension to sculpting immersive audio in virtual control rooms. Thank you to msm-studios in Munich for their support with their excellent immersive audio setup!
The update also includes immersive and interactive preset programs by Hans-Martin Buff, full stereo processing (including grains), various new modes for LFE, diffusion, and grain modulation, new scan modes, OSC control, and more.
crusher-X 12 (VST/VST3, AU and AAX) is available to purchase for €369 EUR, and owners of an older version can upgrade/crossgrade for €149 EUR. Prices incl. VAT in EU.
