crusher-XLive v1.30 
32 bit real-time vapor synthesizer

Welcome to a new world of sound synthesis!

crusher-X is a shareware program whose powerful vapor synthesis algorithm enables you to synthesize very complex and cool waves. Based on traditional granular synthesis, crusher-X can be used as a synthesizer or as a versatile effects unit. You can create sounds with the internal oscillators or external files as well as input real-time stereo soundfiles. Internal feedback loops allow self-oscillation within crusher-X!

crusher-X can be fully controled by a force feedback joystick. The force feedback gives you a feeling for parameters and the sound!
