Just updated CronoX to version 3.0.2 , fixing issues with surround sound in some hosts and improved support of loop points in WAV files. CronoX is a sampler synthetizer. CronoX's modulation matrix offers more than 200 modulation routings. So you can route velocity, Aftertouch, controller and internal sources like the powerful LFOs or Modulation Envelope to whatever destination you want. And in CronoX you can modulate many parameters that are not accessible in other synth! So you can modulate the pitch and time base of a sample independently of each other.
