Summary

Shortcircuit XT is a sample-initiated instrument under active development by the Surge Synth Team. A beta version was launched in February 2026, intended to be useful despite still having features to add before version 1.0.

Features

• Sample-based instrument functionality
• Currently in beta with ongoing development
• Users are encouraged to provide feedback and participate in testing
• Design progress is tracked via a public design guide
• Recommendations to use a limiter on the output bus to prevent DSP errors
• Community discussion hosted on Discord

Usage Notes

Users should exercise caution when using in-ear headphones due to potential DSP errors, although DSP is believed to be safely bounded. The project welcomes community involvement and contributions.
