LinPlug CrX4 for Mac and PC released

LinPlug hereby announces the release of the CrX4 Sample Synthesizer AU and VST plugin for Mac OS X and Windows PC. CrX4 is the successor to the CronoX 3 and uses any kind of samples as raw material for synthesis. CrX4 includes a range of virtual analogue features such as a variety of oscillators, unison detuning, amplitude and frequency modulation, the unique free-type-filter, an arpeggiator, and a modulation matrix, wicked LFO’s and a comprehensive effects section.

The key feature of CrX4 that distinguishes it from other synths is its unique sampling engine and its free-type-filter which allows sounds no other instrument can produce. Using these features and the CrX4 realtime modulation options supports highly expressive performances and complex evolving sounds.

Main Features (short list)
– Time-Sampler with real-time modulatable time-stretching and pitch-shifting
– Wavetable Generator that offers wavetable operations on any sample (modulatable)
– Loop Sampler Generator with realtime modulatable loop-points and sample-start
– Additional analogue-modeled Oscillator and versatile Noise Oscillator
– Free Filter with unique, continuously modulatable filter-type (LP->BP->HP->BR->LP)
– 7 ADSFR or AHDSR-type envelopes for various purposes and 4 LFOs (up to 275 Hz) – Modulation Matrix with 10 routings and 68 destinations
– “MIDI Learn” function for easy controller assignment
