With crusher-X 12, accSone once again redefines what’s possible in real-time granular synthesis. The new version transforms immersive sound design with a stunningly fluid, interactive 3D environment and an even deeper connection between grains, space, and motion.

 

Give it a try!

 

 

 

crusher-X 12 introduces full Stereo Grains and new LFE Modes

Each Generator in crusher-X 12 now features full stereo processing, including Stereo GCOs, eliminating the need for manual channel or modulation assignments. Every grain can now follow its own individual 3D surround path - up to twelve in total - while a detachable smart 3D Surround-Panner editor provides unprecedented hands-on control and visualization. New LFE Modes are featuring X-Over Lowpass including a mode that sources the LFE channel from the AUX Grain Modulation.

 

 

 

The new Scan Modes of crusher-X 12 work on every Grain Modulation

The newly introduced ScanModes (Global 1 and Global 2) synchronize Grain Modulations to Global Modulators, ensuring perfect timing and creative interplay across your sonic architecture. The MIDI Scan modes enable Grain Modulation Scans with direct MIDI control.

 

Free learn enabled OSC UDP Network Server (Open Sound Control)

 

 

Kurt Schwitters URSONATE factory sounds

Every aspect of crusher-X 12 has been designed to empower spatial imagination. From immersive multichannel granular motion to live 3D performance control, it invites you to step inside the sound itself - where every grain is a voice, and every voice can move in space.

Welcome to crusher-X 12 !
