crusher-X 10.3 Release Notes

• Adds macOS Standalone App Version with 4 Input and 10 Output Channel Audio and MIDI routing support
• Adds 8 MACRO plug-in parameters that can be used for free UI Element Mappings in the MACRO Mapping Editor. (*) Thanks Aphex Twin for this feature request!
• Adds MACRO P Tab in the MACRO Map (formally named MIDI Map) to list Macro Parameter and MIDI Controllers that are stored in Program Memory
• Adds MACRO Map button dimly lit to indicate that MACRO P mapping list is not empty (Controllers loaded by a program are assigned)
• Adds Global and Program Memory options to the Learn Context Menu (*)
• Adds "Current value as max" in Learn Context Menu to set the range of the controller learning by using the current UI element value as the maximum
• Adds "Around current value" in Learn Context Menu to set the range of the controller learning by using the current UI element value as the center
• Adds "Set to current value" in Learn Context Menu to map a certain UI element value to a MIDI Controller or MACRO Parameter. Useful for live performances to "reset" an UI element to a certain value (*)
• Adds Learn Context Menu to the Generator wheel
• Adds Program Number edit field to the Program Panel. Useful for a fast program selection also in combination with the new "Learn Controller to set Position" feature
• Adds a Reset of FilterMode and MIDI Mode to the Grain Modulation Reset Buttons
• Adds MIDI Omni Mode for MACRO Map in Settings Editor
• Adds enabling of the MACRO Maps Change button if list entry was already selected by a controller
• Adds Visuals.GrainView.RotateX and Visuals.GrainView.RotateY plug-in parameter to control the Grain Views rotation (*)
• Cleans up Grain Modulation / LFO view and moved "Morph LFOs to 0Hz" button to Granulizer panel, moves LFO counter to Grain Modulations panel header, moves Grain counter to Grain View panel header
• Improves LFO counter accuracy
• Improves spectral balance of Grain Modulation Feedback Loop
• Improves Program Selector behavior to avoid unwanted program changes using a touch pad
• Fixes issue with MACRO Map editor grid scroll bar
• VST3: Fixes saving of the plug-in state under Bitwig 4 and other legacy VST3 hosts
• Standalone: Adds Click on the Status Bar Tempo section restarts internal beat counter

[dayjob]

nice one thanks

[freq]

Thanks! There is another one on a quite "hidden" but very, very powerful feature of crusher-X 10.3:

The new MACRO parameters (requested by Aphex Twin for his recent live show) can be used to not only map hardware controllers to several crusher-X sliders but also to automate them:

Can a single macro control multiple parameters?

[freq]

Yes, of course! Not shown in the tutorial, but a MACRO parameter or MIDI controller can be mapped to multiple UI sliders - even with different mapping curves. In fact, the same mechanism is used for mapping Adore parameters (see the predefined mappings in the "Params" list in the MACRO Map Editor).

You can even combine global mappings ("Macro" list) with patch mappings ("Macro P" list) for a single controller or MACRO parameter.

In other words, any combination of mappings is possible. The MACRO Map Editor also allows you to modify the plug-in's default parameter mappings ("Params" list), including changing Adore's default parameter mappings.

Best
