crusher-X 12.12 is here with two significant improvements around the mix behavior and macOS stability. We also added several new payment options to the accSone website: Credit Cards / Apple Pay / Amazon Pay / Alipay / Klarna / PayPal and many more (via stripe)

Release Notes:
  • Adds Mix level into Feedback and Aux output level to prevent sound leak into the Granulizers input
  • macOS: Fixes duplicated Cocoa identifiers
 

In this tutorial, we break down how to set up and use multichannel routing with the Crusher-X 12 plugin in Ableton & Bitwig. Whether you're working on sound design, or complex surround sound setups, this guide will help you get all the outputs of crusher-x routed for your needs.

 

crusher-X 12.11 is here, bringing smoother and more reliable plug-in parameter and automation management. This update enhances control responsiveness with refined MACRO behavior while ensuring better synchronization between plug-in parameters and loaded programs.

 

In this video we explore Ambient Soundscapes. We utilize the powerful DCOs of crusher-X and strategic MIDI mapping & 3D Panner, to create a generative system that is constantly evolving.

 

crusher-X 12 processing of a delicate binaural field recording captured during falling snow in a calm winter forest landscape. This piece explores the subtle textures of snowfall as it settles across trees and forest ground, recorded in immersive binaural detail. The original field recording preserves the quiet atmosphere of a still winter day — soft flakes drifting through cold air, distant woodland ambience, and the gentle hush that only fresh snow can create. Using Crusher-X 12 granular synthesis, the natural soundscape is stretched, fragmented, and transformed into evolving spectral textures. Micro-particles of sound are reassembled into shimmering drones, frozen ambiences, and slowly shifting harmonic layers — maintaining the spatial depth of the binaural recording while expanding it into an abstract, cinematic listening experience. Best experienced with headphones to fully appreciate the three-dimensional field and the subtle spatial movements.

 

Find here a simple "preset session" where we routed a crusher-X 7.1.4 output to a binaural processor (Illusonic ILBinaural plug-in). We set the session up in Cubase and compared the ILBinaural plug-in with the Cubase native Ambisonics binaural panners. Actually the ILBinaural gave us the best room impression.
