[MWS]: I'll start a live crusher-X tutorial in the newsgroup!

[Stelkens]

Dear friends of good sound,

it seems that the new crusherX-Live 2.40 version is stable and the most people are satisfied with the new features. So i have a little more time to promote the new created crusher-X newsgroup (you may like to subscibe at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crusherx).

I decided to write the next weeks in this newsgroup a tutorial how to use the crusher to create extreme sounds!

Starting the next days i like to give the subscribed people an overview about the features and a detailed description of the crusher-X functions. The subscribed people will have access to a file-area with demo-files that illustrates the current tutorials step. And i would be very happy we come into a discussion about this very special sound synthesis field. 

And this will be the tutorials topics:
