Podolski is a simple, CPU-efficient virtual analogue synthesizer.
Basically a cut down version of FilterscapeVA with just one oscillator, one filter, one envelope and two LFOs, it also features a Zebra-style arpeggiator/sequencer plus chorus and delay effects.
Podolski’s specialities are the Click parameter (emphasizes the filter attack) and its ability to seamlessly morph between three waveforms (WaveWarp).
TUC Toys is a new addition to Podolski’s preset library included in the latest update. You can download the beta version here
