CrusherX – Version 7
The new features of accSone´s granular processor were unveiled at Suberbooth 2018 (3 – 5 May 2018).

The new version has got a formant filter to produce vowel-like sounds, it supports touch screen control and has a reworked user interface, the processing of parallel working generators has been optimised, new MIDI mapping functions have been integrated and 13 new modulation parameters – so called “Adores” have been added.

I´ve produced a short video showing the new features: https://youtu.be/Dc2cLU19cs4

Let me quote what accSone´s page tell about the new version:

“Crusher-X version 7 will again present a couple of features that are unique in the world of granular synthesis: It introduces a grain formant filter mode with "a-e-i-o-u" vowels. This lets crusher-X "talk". This unique process will generate for each grain a specific vowel that could be morphed thru the vovel chain over the vapor modulation model. A special adapted Q model will ensure a smooth transition between a wide “unvoweled" filter and sharp, distinctive vowels. Together with the new introduced wave form selector of the DCO it leads to sound design at its best: Ghost voices, singing guitars, smash choirs, and hypogeal strings.

A reworked UI supports touch screen control on tables and surface devices while still featuring Physical Model faders and wheels. Important buttons are resized to become better controllable with a touch display. The modulation previews became expanded and more granular.

The amount of parallel working generators can be convenient and sensitive controlled with the physical modeling generator wheel. The generator mixer is reworked towards a predictive volume adjustment.

The flexible MIDI and plug-in parameter control assignments supporting now non-linear, free editable mappings with spline and knee points.

13 new introduced “Adore Parameters” allows fast and easy modifications that lead to complex sound changes. They are mapped to corresponding plug-in parameters and can be understood as meta parameters to control several vapor parameters at once with one slide. Each Adore parameter is mapped to several Vapor parameters via a specified set of non-linear control mappings. An Adore parameter modification is treated as normal Vapor parameter modifications, so therefore can be morphed and undone.”

You may well expect me producing a video to overview the new features.

Granular Extractions for Sample Players (CrusherX Part 19)

Tutorial 19 about granular synthesis with CrusherX is available now. https://youtu.be/y2y8_kNrs5c It deals with the question: how to extract new exciting future sounds for our sample players from all kinds of sound sources (including field recordings) using granular processes. After a bit more than 98 hours of work this video has got the longest one I´ve ever made: 3 hours and 12 minutes (I´ve split the video in two parts to make downloading easier). And it´s packed with approaches, rules, facts, tricks and hints and a lot of practical examples including a complete case study. Here´s the Timeline: Part A 0:00:00 Introduction 0:02:25 First Approaches 0:04:22 Finding the Right Parameter Constellations 0:05:43 Manipulating Sine Waves 0:09:49 Dealing With Volume Oscillations and Aliasing 0:22:16 Which Type of Grain Window? 0:37:32 How Many Generators? 0:41:18 Some Tricks to Make Life Easier 0:44:51 Dealing With Saw ...

After a quite long break – I apologise for that – my series about FM and PM synthesis continues. Workshop 4 is available now: https://youtu.be/Egoiby5eNuk In column 1 of workshop 4 I introduce ImageLine´s FM/PM/RM synth “Sytrus”, compare it and its sounds to DEXED and talk about transfering data between DEXED, Sytrus, the DX7 and the Korg Volca FM. In column 2 I talk about second order frequency/phase modulations, about modulating with waves others than sine waves. And in column 3 I analyse an orchestral FM preset in Sytrus. Timeline: 0:00:00 Introduction 0:02:50 COLUMN 1 0:02:50 Sytrus, the GUI (Overview) 0:03:20 The Main Tab 0:04:12 The Matrix 0:13:09 The Line Editors and Envelopes 0:17:55 Sytrus and DEXED (compared) 0:22:34 Comparing Modulation Envelopes 0:30:08 Transfering data between Sytrus, DEXED, DX7, Korg Volca FM 0:35:28 COLUMN 2 0:35:28 ...

An Old Radio, Short Wave Sampling and the Beauty of the Ages I found this old radio on a garage sale about two weeks ago and got it for about 8 dollars. I thought of using the speaker and the case, but when testing it at home I found out, that it worked perfectly. It is about 60 years old and sounds really good. I´m thinking of doing some short wave sampling to feed my granular processor with new raw material. I will have to make an antenna though. There is a terribly bad radio reception in my flat. And while thinking of the best way to build such an antenna I came upon a second old radio of the same brand (just a few years younger). There are some problems with the volume knob. I opened the case therefore and I´m fascinated by these old electronic parts in it.  They are simply beautiful! (By the way: there is even the skeleton of a dead spider in the radio.) I´ll keep you informed about the whole project, which you can also follow on ...
