"Image Line Software Announces Autogun Synthesizer Plugin Available For Free DownloadThe new VSTi plugin is based on the Ogun synthesis engine and offers more than four billion presets full of acoustic potential
Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium, June 3, 2009 -- Image Line Software, the developer of FL Studio (formerly FruityLoops), released its newest synthesizer named Autogun. Available for download free of charge, Autogun offers 4 294 967 296 (Four Billion Two Hundred Ninety Four Million Nine Hundred Sixty Seven Thousand Two Hundred Ninety Six) presets, just waiting to be explored for their acoustic potential.
Autogun is based on the Ogun VSTi synthesizer that can produce exceptionally rich metallic and shimmering timbres, although it's not limited to these sounds as Autogun will demonstrate. Ogun’s distinctive synthesis engine can generate more than 32,000 harmonics, modulated by high-level ‘harmonic mapping’ functions. These synthesis parameters have been put under the control of an artificial intelligence, patch creation algorithm, the reason Autogun can deliver such a huge number of great presets.
Every Autogun is set to start from a unique preset number, so that each Autogun user is assigned a personal starting preset-address, ready to explore. However, users can at any time, jump to a new location in the preset-space by simply entering a preset number.
With so many presets Autogun needs no programming, every sound is already somewhere 'out there' and just needs to be found.
”Autogun is really amazing sounding plugin - once a prized sound is discovered, and it’s preset number logged, it can be shared with other Autogun users or import them into Ogun, for detailed study or further development” commented Didier Dambrin, the developer of Autogun and Chief Software Architect at Image Line Software.

Also see the rest of Image Line for more soft synths including Sawyer"Sawer is a vintage modeling synthesizer, that cuts through the mix to deliver precisely articulated and punchy sounds.
Sawer pays homage to the envelopes and filters of a rare 1980's Soviet analog synthesizer, Polivoks. Maxx has devoted meticulous attention to the detail of Sawer's filter and envelope designs, ensuring Sawer delivers a unique sonic character reminiscent of the Polivoks hardware. But Polivoks, like all analog synthesizers, wasn't without its problems. Keeping the oscillators stable and in tune has been likened to 'moving a pile of live frogs, by wheelbarrow', impossible! As Sawer is algorithmic, this solves the problems of tuning and stability, however, in the same way electrical component instability makes analog gear unique (if not cranky), Sawer benefits from the 21st century equivalent, a coding error."
