New granular synth: The Mangle

[Aiynzahev]

Looks really good, excited to see a windows version. Fantastic price too

love the visualisation of grains as particles, really nice

Hello everyone, I'm the developer.

Hi Tom,
Congrats on this plugin... I'd be all over it like a bad rash, but for the fact it's OSX 10.8 only. I run 10.6, and my machine can't even update to 10.8 if I wanted to. I'm curious though why your app is 10.8 only ? Is it because you're not running 10.6 yourself, or because you're using some kind of code or libraries only available on 10.8 ? If it's possible to run/develop this on 10.6 if the demand was there - consider this post to be the first such request. In this thread anyway

good luck!

Any plans for Pro Tools AAX?

The framework I'm using (JUCE) supports AAX, so there is certainly a possibility in the future. I've never used Pro Tools in my life, so I'll have to buy a copy, etc.

For now I'll get the AU & VSTs tight and stable, then I may think about it in a couple of months if there's demand.

Hi, and thanks! The demand's definitely there, several people have asked me about it already.

10.6 support is my biggest regret about the design process. When I began developing The Mangle, I was very naive, and I used the latest programming language features (known as C++11). I didn't realise, however, that Apple never built those libraries into 10.6. The code is now shot through with C++11, making it quite hard to undo. I've done lots of research into ways to get C++11 stuff working on 10.6, but it looks pretty bleak unfortunately.

I could kick myself for this, because I agree like many that 10.6 was the best OS X yet. I think 10.8 is pretty good too, but some say it doesn't play nicely with Logic 9. Is that true?

On the other hand, using C++11 has enabled me to write faster, smaller code, in less time, which has been an enormous help.

There's one small consolation - I have now managed to configure the builds to run on 10.7 Lion (which does include C++11), so that opens it up to a few more people, but 10.6 support looks unlikely at this stage unfortunately.

Curse you, backward compatibility! *Shakes fist at God*

THAT is absolutely f'n brilliant!!!

I was ready to buy it 20-seconds into the video

I did

Very cool synth! Anyway, add me to the list of people hoping for AAX (PC) in future.

i think i should....

I will buy the windows version! yum

Does this work with Mavericks?

Does this work with Mavericks?

I only installed it and played around with it for about five minutes, but it seems to be working fine on Mavericks (Logic Pro X) here.

Thanks for the detailed response Tom,
though it makes me sad face so hard. picture me mega sad-facing

though when I can {hopefully} afford to upgrade my machine in 6 months, I'll have to begrudgingly have a 10.7 partition for some tools anyway. So, until then mon ami, I'll just have to follow progress longingly from the sidelines

Good luck once again.

I hope to have a Windows version out before Christmas, so watch this space.Sound Guru

Good news! Looks like you've chosen a really focused feature set and done it properly - I'm looking forward to it

Can the sequencer steps be constrained in fractions? Can you copy/paste modulations between layers? And do a video showing how the multiple slots can be mixed! Actually, ignore all that - just get and finish it!

Was so cool, I watched the video like 2-3 times .. waiting for the Win version!
Cheers"
