LinPlug has revealed a preview of CronoX 4, an update to the sample synthesizer plug-in for Windows and Mac.

This is a big update because the CronoX 4 features a new GUI, not just a cosmetic change or new design elements but a new design from ground up. This addresses the feedback we got from many customers who actually prefered CronoX 2 for its simplistic design.

We worked hard to get that 6 edit page design onto a single edit page. Yes, its on ONE page now, and the best is that the most important aspects of editing a sound are now much better than before. We also added a number of new information displays and help functions so making your own sounds and changing factory presets its much improved.
