Doppelmangler

Well, looks like I have the honor of being the first person to review White Noise's Doppelmangler.

Some thoughts:

Doppelmangler steps into the fray with other big name synths like Cube, Cameleon (and other's I'm sure I've missed).

So, how does it compare? I am pleased to say very favorably.

The first thing that impressed me is the GUI. It is VERY intuitive, and for me personally, far easier to use than some of its competitors. I was able to roll my own almost immediately - not something I can say about many other synths.

In terms of sound it also stand out. It has an unusually warm sound that seems to have more, I don't know, "soul." The bulk of my arrangements rely heavily on traditional instruments (bass, drums, guitars & piano), and I am very impressed with how rich Doppelmangler sounds in the mix without eating up all of the frequency headroom. Interesting trick, that, and something that very much works to its credit.

The CPU, while not "light," is still very reasonable for the complex crunching that is going on. It runs smoothly and efficiently on my P4 2.2 laptop.

The full version of Doppelmangler comes bundled with a bunch of presets - more than enough to cover bases and get your started.

Lastly, it's been very stable on my machine and even better - the cost is very reasonable.

I strongly encourage you to dwonaload the demo. I know there is alot of shouting about lots of synths, but this one has some real potential. Check it out.Read Review
