Haha, yes I realised after I decided on the name that I'm now locked into a naming scheme that may be hard to sustain :) But that's a pretty good idea!!

The only advice I could give you would be DON'T OVEREXTEND YOURSELF right now. You have two great products that people need and want, focus on making them the best they can be for a minute. Take some time to learn and develop before you take on more, and you WILL want to take on more. I'll bet you already have new ideas swimming in your head and this one isn't even cold yet. :)

Hmm, just double checked in Bigwig on my 10.11.5 system and all seems well. Do you have any repeatable steps that cause a crash?

Yes, you're right, it is super tempting, but the work of maintaining one instrument so far has showed me that 3+ would be untenable without working with more people. Luckily, I'm really happy with the range of sounds capable with these 2 instruments, so I'll definitely be happy to just focus on these for a while. Plus, the structure of Tangle make it quite easy to add new modules in an experimental way, which means if I'm tempted to experiment with more synthesis types, I can probably find a home for them there. Which means that Tangle will very likely get new modules over time.

Hmm, are you on Windows 7? Is it asking you to install a .NET framework? If so, I may have done the build incorrectly...

I was thinking the same thing ya know. You have done a great job with a foundation here that has an open concept and infinite ability to grow and in an exciting way. Nobody says you can't take that open concept and include the mangle and wave morphing and such into an all in one modular in the future. Good luck bro. :clap:

Wow, well done! I'll be checking this one out today or soon.

That's a great idea, a minimanglemodule would be most useful.

Yes, top of my list for upcoming modules is some kind of sample player, and I think giving it some basic granular abilities is a no-brainer :)

Yes, windows 7. When I tried to load the plugin it was telling me that I was missing some ms*blabla dll file or something.
No band limits, aliasing is the noise of freedom!

Damn, I'll have to redo the build, must have chosen the wrong sdk in build. Hold tight a couple of hours, afk right now. Those on Win 10 & 8 should be ok, but test with the demo before purchasing right away!

Looks great, hope to check it out some time :tu:

I think you have years of names ahead:
- Bangle is the awesome modular drum machine
- Dangle is the very flexible physical simulation of moving elements
- Angle is the panning and 360° surround plugin
- Jangle is the guitar and strumming instrument
- Fangle is the really new sound concept you come up with in a while.
And finally:
- Strangle is the FX plugin to silence the output we all wait for for ages... ;-)

Cheers,

Tom (too)

This looks really cool. I'll check it out as soon as I'm in front of my laptop.

instant buy!

another feature for down the road somewhere...

audio input module would be cool too. nice to be able to use it as an FX insert for all kinds of stuff.


thanks for making a modular environment. stoked to get into this.
