INSTRUMENTS / GENERATORS

Ogun

Ogun can produce exceptionally rich metallic and shimmering timbres, although it's not limited to this genre. Ogun's distinctive synthesis engine can generate more than 32,000 harmonics, modulated by high-level 'harmonic mapping' functions, that hand tonal control directly to the user.

Ogun and real-time CPU load

Ogun generally presents a low CPU load to the host and has been designed to spread multiple instances of the plugin across multi-core CPU's. However, it is possible to experience audio dropouts during real-time playback while the average CPU load still appears low due to a non-uniform CPU usage. This non-uniformity comes from the, sometimes heavy, FFT processing (calculation of the waveform) for the harmonic series. Strategies for maximizing real-time performance of Ogun are:

1. Increase the host latency (10 ms is a good compromise between responsiveness and CPU load).
2. Avoid RICHness settings greater than 8 (where possible).
3. Turn on multithreaded processing, if supported by your host.
