u-he's Pedolski VA Soft Synth Updated and Released for Free

u-he or Urs Heckmann is the man behind the recently released and acclaimed Diva virtual analog synth.

"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).

Version 1.0 was released as a free gift for visitors to the u-he booth during Musikmesse 2005. Right after Musikmesse it went on the cover mount CD of the German KEYBOARDS magazine (later Sound & Recording). Podolski was u-he's first 'magware' offering, and was distributed with every issue until about 2009.

"Podolski has been refurbished with some new presets by Howard Scarr, has undergone a GUI makeover (two new skins) and supports a wider range of plug-in formats. A new English language manual is also included. Download Podolski for free from here (top right of this page)!"

"Specs:the z8000 matrix sequencer is a powerful modulation source in a compact package. the 16 knobs of the z8000 are accessed by ten sequencers with their own clock, direction and reset inputs. the ten sequencers areas follows:

four 4 step cv sequencers on the horizontal.
four 4 step cv sequencers on the vertical.
one 16 step cv sequencer on the horizontal.
one 16 step cv sequencer on the vertical.

with the z8000, you can simultaneously modulate many parameters in your synthesizer polyrhythmicly, with unprecedented motion. one knob affects all 10 cv outputs! imagine modifying 10 parameters from one knob,and all clock inputs can be driven at audio rates.

your synthesizer is modular, so your sequencer should be too. the z8000's open design allows you to create a custom sequencing environment to fit your personal needs. add clock dividers, clock sequencers,switches, trigger sequencers and logic gates to create a completely unique system.

"This machine sounds different from other string synths in that it sounds very haunting and the bass end sounds just down-right mean!!! The low end is deep and gravelly giving it this tremendous "growl" to it. It also has piano and clavinet sounds which can be fun and can really add to the texture of the strings/ viola,cello sounds or used by themselves. This synth also comes with it's original foot pedal and cable which work flawlessly!"

The Electric Music Box (1971) Ad

flickr By F is for Film

"$2850 in 1971? The equivalent price, in 2012, would be well over $13,000.

Interestingly enough Buchla & Associates (which began in 1963) is still making electronic instruments in 2012."
