Doppelmangler

The disclaimer:I was a beta tester for Doppelmangler.

Doppelmangler's the latest entry in the fast growing field of resynthesis.Based in part on the same engine as White Noise Additive,it's dead easy to use;load one(or two)sample(s)and start experimenting.
The spectrum can be up to 256 partials per source.with the choice of different sized FFT windows and detection options.You can optimize Doppelmangler for time detection(great for mangling beats)or pitch detection(instruments and voices).You can import .bmps as spectra.PLUS you can reexport spectra as /bmps and edit them in your graphics editor.Nice touch:)

The filters are very flexible,with vocal formants as well as traditional high/low pass options.You have a multi-breakpoint way of setting cutoff and resonance,as well as a bias and morph control for morphing between the filters(there's two of them).

There's five envelopes;a time envelope that controls playpack position(the top of the envelope's window is the end of the sample;the bottom's the beginning.Set up stutters to your heart's content;-)),two multi envelopes(the time and multi envelopes can also be LFOs),a volume envelope and a mod envelope.Envelopes can control anything via the mod matrix.

The mangle effects work on whatever spectrum's loaded into the first source(with a couple exceptions).These process the sound at the partial level,and they do a lot of interesting things to the sound.There's also a normal effects section with distortion,chorus,phaser and a delay.

The selectable GUIs are icing on the cake(MarsLander's my choice).

I've been using Doppelmangler in my tracks for a while,and it brings some very unique textures to the table.Try the demo-I think you'll like it!Read Review
