Amazing piece of software. I bought it 3 years ago, and I still find the audio results stunning and musical. Every detail has been very well thought of; congrats to Tom Maisley he's been doing a fantastic job on this one.

I too think out is an amazingly great to use and sounding granular synthesis tool. Very musical and the modulation options are just great. You can use 8 samples at once if you like and you have a full ADSR envelop what most granular samplers misses. The rendering is smooth and the engine allowes very nice grain clouds and a mixture of forward and backward playing grains. A feature I am missing in many other tools I am using.

Most thought the product was dead due Tom never responded on anything and no update came out for years... but surprisingly I received a mail from the dev that Tom would be working on some things and even is planning to add new features into THE MANGLE. I think that will take veeeeeery long time but I was happy to hear a sign of life lately.

I tried to contact him a few times over the last 2 years to get any update info. No response. This is a very bad behaviour, i think the project is dead. Vaporware who used Richard Devine feedback to collect money from us stupid customers.

Hi there, I bought The Mangle, too, and I love the software, however I still have to do away with the DEMO version. After the purchase I'd been sent a link to what ended up being another DEMO version... and after a few years and many attempts to contact Tom still no luck. Could anyone please help me out here and send me a full version? I know this is highly irregular, but I can prove myself with a recept and everything... Please?

I've had exactly the same issue. I keep emailing for help but never any response despite taking the money.

Sound Guru should be investigated and wrapped up.
