c r u s h e r X - L i v e ! f e a t u r i n g P o c k e t D i a l !
Welcome to a new world of sound synthesis! Welcome to the worlds first real-time multichannel,
granular, morphing vapor synthesizer! Use your Pocket Dial to interact live with the famous shareware
crusherX-Live! Please feel free to download the demo on www.crusher-x.de or use the attached demo
version.
In cooperation with Doepfer Musikelektronik GmbH crusher-X implements special MIDI Inc-/Dec-
Controllers that allows you to control nearly every crusher-X interaction element via your Pocket Dial.
crusher-X is a shareware program whose powerful vapor synthesis algorithm enables you to synthesize
very complex and cool waves. crusher-X does distill and transform sounds quite radically. 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 samplers as well as real-time stereo input sound (e.g. a
microphone). Internal feedback loops allows self-oscillation within crusher-X! Multichannel ASIO Outputs
allows extreme impressive sound installations and multichannel compositions up to 10 independent
channels.
A overall multidimensional morphing system morphs the sound between each parameter changing (e.g.
on Loading, on Undo/Redo, on MIDI-Event, on turning the pocket dial knob etc.). This creates clouds of
sweeping, shifting and graining sounds. The morph time can be ranged from 1ms up to 1 hour!
Try it … and hear the result! It’s more than sound, it’s more than music, it’s really fun!
To set up the demo for using with pocket dial crusher-X presets follow the following steps:
1. Run the crusher-X installer that you find on www.crusher-x.de or the CD and follow the installation
instructions
2. Start the crusher. You may like to set up the Direct-X or ASIO Engine (take a quick look at the help)
3. Load the file “pocketdial.crx”. This set up the MIDI-Controller Tab matching the pocket dial crusher-X
presets.
4. Set up the following checkboxes (if you use the crusher the first time they will be checked correctly):
Uncheck:
Edit | Options | Load/Undo|Change on Loading/Undo/Redo | Midi Settings
Check : Crusher | MIDI Setup | General | Hardware Support
5. Also check, that you have defined a Midi-In device, which is connected with pocketDial and also a
legal Midi-Out device (otherwise the IncDec-controller maybe will not work )
6. Close the doors and windows, order a pizza, turn up your amps, start the crusher-X engine, run thru
the demo Loadlist and turn the pocket dial knobs! Fasten your seatbelts! No warranty for becoming
addicted ;-)
