automat_0.4.2

Posted by stiwi Mon, 01 Jun 2009 11:33:00 GMT

Automat is the logical next step after Buzzer2. Take all the nice things from Buzzer2, add antialiased Oscilators, a new filter, a flexible modulation engine and a new GUI (which provides enough room for future extentions) and you've got a new toy to make even more serious noiZe.

This is a test build of Automat 1.0. Lots of features missing. Burns a lot of CPU cycles. Does not always do what it's supposed to do :-). Do not use in productive environment. Use at your own risk. Keep your old Automat component and patches.

    I'm addicted to Automat! I love this synth... I find I'm doing whole songs with the thing! And when I need a sound, I'll go and open one, and start messing with an exisiting preset, or create a whole new one, and add it to the song I'm working on. I can't think of a single instrument I've owned that was so easy to program, and get new sounds out of!! It's also so cpu efficient... and seems to fit into what I'm doing...

      This is one of the deepest, intelligently architected and inspiring free plug-in synths to be developed in a long while. If you have a penchant for deep architecture, options, crazy modulation routings and loop-able envelopes - then look no further. Incredible. Oh - and it SOUNDS stunning. My hat's off ...

        This an amazing synth from a dedicated developer. I find it one of my top two most-used synths, along with U-He's Zebra 2...
