Virtual Instruments

Oh My God!

Yes! Yes!

Image Line has released a new free software synthesizer, AutoGun, that promises to let you search 4,294,967,296 presets for their acoustic potential.

Based on the official screenshot, it also offers a preset that “sounds like an orgasm.”

Who knows? There might be multiple orgasms buried in those 4,294,967,296 presets.

Unfortunately, if you tried the presets at the rate of 1 preset per second, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, it could take you 136 years to find the awesome orgasm patch. Which could leave you really frustrated.

So don’t be getting all worked up about that patch, OK?

Just remember AutoGun is free, it works on Windows and it has a jillion sounds.

“With so many presets Autogun needs no programming, every sound is already somewhere ‘out there’ you just need to locate it, and you will,” according to Image Line. “Autogun’s sonic landscape is a sonic adventure.”

A sonic adventure?

There’s something to get excited about!

Yes! Yes!

This is a preview of Seth Sandler’s Audiotouch, a $200 DIY multitouch music table:

Last weekend my multitouch table and Audiotouch software were on display at UCSD’s Music Center Openening. The turnout was good and it was great meeting the enthusiastic crowd that took the time to try out the table.

The majority really liked the simplicity of the new Bloom application that acts as a screen-saver type application when no other application is loaded. The kids really liked the ‘Wall Pong’ game and it was fascinating watching them take part in the interaction.

The Audiotouch takes the idea of virtual instruments to a new level, doesn’t it?
