anchor Podolski in the spotlight!

Created in 2005 and still going strong. Podolski is a free, straightforward, CPU-efficient virtual analogue synthesizer. One oscillator, one filter, one envelope and an arpeggiator / sequencer. Simple, but with a few tricks up its sleeve. Create high quality sounds with ease.

This plug-in currently does not contain an AAX version for Pro Tools on Mac. But Pro Tools for Windows is still supported.

MacOS Pro Tools users who are not running the native Silicon version should use the previous plugin versions, available from the Release Archive.

Sights and sounds

History refurbished -------------------
Podolski today --------------

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).

For this current version, the factory library was overhauled, the TUC Toys soundset was integrated into the main library, all factory presets have been tagged and Podolski is now NKS-ready.

Podolski 2012

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.

Podolski 2005

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.

“Klanglich hat mich der Synth trotz oder vielleicht gerade wegen seiner einfach gehaltenen Struktur ¨berzeugt.”

StarStarStarStarStarBondeo August 2015

“La poca cantidad de opciones hace que sea sencillo jugar con el y no es sinónimo de poca potencia.”
