Finally heard from Tom yesterday. Assured me that the latest update still works with my patch library. He also said he'll be getting back to me shortly on whether or not he'll be including 50 of my patches in the next update. If he does, I think you're going to like these. They just might make you forget about Alchemy. LOL.

EDIT BTW really liked the ability to save a sample within a preset, good work.

Hey there, has the latest update improved things for you? In the last update I rewrote a critical (and rather hard) part of the program, the cross-thread communication, because a library I was using got abandoned. Ask any developer, this is the stuff that gives us nightmares. Anyway, I have massively improved that part in the latest update and I hope that has made a big difference to the stability for you.

emmm... why not just share them directly here ?

The only problem left for me is that the modulation sliders are act weird:
a.) you often need to use extremely small values on the slider which are almost impossible to set. Could the sliders be linearised somehow? The blue ring around the knob seems to use a different scaling somehow...?
b.) while dragging the modulation slider for a parameter with only one modulation going, I see a different value in the blue ring around the parameter than when I let go (then the value is usually less). So I somehow have to try, guess and error around a lot to get to somewhere in the range of what I actually want. I don't understand what's going on there...

Cheers,

Tom

Don't know if this is what he's thinking, but if I were him, I'd think it's good for your career to have your work shipped with a commercial product, gives the vibe that it's on a pro level. Anyone can release stuff on the net for free.

IIRC he imbedded sample content in the patches (which I intend to do also) which may make the file too large to post here, as there is a 20MB file size limit. [2c]

There is no way I can share the content here. It is HUGE. Tom will have to provide it with the product, which I am hoping he will do. I do have a complete library of 350 patches available if anybody is interested. Just check below.

Thanks for reply.
Frankly, after those cases I began to use Mangle more careful, i.e. I stopped importing wav "on the fly", ie before importing i always do stop grain play (this action are simple, and does not cause inconvenience, thus - why tempt fate when it works so well). Thus i no longer saw this problem yet.
The same about the new release candidate - I did not test yet it for durability in this sense (afraid

).

But glad to hear that this point perhaps reworked now. (Will try. If i meet this again - i'll let know.)

Something exciting is happening. I can now see a 1.0 demo version (factory sounds included) and a shiny new manual on the official site.

Nice. The manual's been up for a few days, the demo is new though as is the price. Hopefully we'll get our full 1.0 versions/serials/whatever soon.

Looks awesome to me

Cool stuff!
