The new maintenance update crusher-X 11.31 has been released, bringing a series of focused refinements aimed at improving daily workflow and overall usability. Version 11.31 introduces clearer visual cues throughout the interface, including enhanced Grain Modulation icons, a refined Generator Wheel layout, and a significantly improved Spline editor with higher-contrast handles placed directly on the curve for more precise editing. Several interface elements have been reorganized for better accessibility: the MACRO and Settings buttons now sit in the Top Bar, and a new Tutorial Help button has been added, accompanied by a movable tutorial window to support more flexible learning. Users will also notice quicker interaction within the PM-Field, which now centers on double-click.
Artist punktmidi (https://linktr.ee/punktmidi) has joined the accSone team in December 2025, bringing his expertise in granular synthesis to sound design, beta testing, and the creation of new tutorial content for crusher-X users. In addition to contributing to product development, he is available for both public and individual training sessions, offering deep insight into advanced granular workflows. With his hands-on experience and creative approach, punktmidi will also support the crusher-X community directly, helping users get the most out of their granular explorations.
