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.
