I personally hope The Mangle will keep walking it's own road.
Those other granular synths exist already as do dozens of Reactor ensembles and I especially like the differences.

Keep up the good work - I look forward to the further development!

Cheers,

Tom

Looks cool, and very reasonably priced. I'll be waiting for the windows version...

But it's only the beginning of the Mangler, maybe the developer will expand the possibilities and e.g. add the possibility for multiple grain streams, add more filter types...

But I don't want it to be as complex or deep as HALion!

I think Mangle's strength relies in simplicity, fast drag and drop workflow and quick results. No 250 features, knobs and pages effects, but pure straight forward granular synthesis.

Well, what you want it to be and what I want it to be might differ. I don't want it to be anything really, I just compared the sound possibilities of The Mangler to my favourite granular tools, that's all. After all the dev decides what he wants it to be, and if enough users want that too, as it seems now, it's all good.

Well, I am watching closely for the WinPC format...

Looks very nice. Count me as another waiting for a Windows release.

I didn't see it - what's the copy protection scheme? If serial, I'm in

During the beta, there is no copy protection scheme. I will probably have to implement serial for 1.0, if only so I can offer a trial version. But I'm gonna spend like 10 minutes on it, only the bare minimum of security. I don't feel like playing cat and mouse with pirates, if they steal it they steal it.

Consider me another one to wait for a Windows 64 version.

Great! Maybe talk to Urs, he seems to be willing to share his concepts. Or since you're using JUCE anyways, Julien offers a pre-made concept for key file security, as far as I remember.

But let me say: no C/R and no dongle just put you on my shopping list right there.

I like your attitude, that's exactly, how I feel about it!

No issues yet on a non-retina i7 MBP running 10.7.5.

Creating some lovely textures, soundscapes and abstract beats.

Great! When will we get to hear some of them on Sound Cloud?
