accSone has announced an update to the crusher-X granular synthesizer effect plugin for Windows and Mac.
Version 9.52 adds an integrated, interactive quick-start tutorial that leads you through the basics of crusher-X. It also comes with support for older crusher-X sound packs; the associated samples of the patches are now loaded automatically in the DCO.
Its powerful live, polyphonic, multichannel granular synthesis algorithm creates very complex sounds, drones and outstanding surround effects.

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 4300 LFOs, over 410 real-time parameters and more than 190 presets.
