Podolski Description
Created in 2005, and still going strong. Podolski, a simple, free, CPU-efficient virtual synthesizer, is a free and straightforward instrument. One oscillator, one filter, one envelope, and an arpeggiator/sequencer. Simple, but it has a few tricks. Create high-quality sound with ease. Podolski, a simple and CPU-efficient virtual synthesizer, is a powerful virtual analog 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 is known for his click parameter, which emphasizes the filter attack. It also has the ability to seamlessly morph from three waveforms. Oscillator that can be set to any symmetry (sawtooth, triangle, PWM), and has a glide. Combination arpeggiator/16 step sequencer with an extra modulation source. ADSR or HDSR. Linear or exponential. Sustain has fall/rise controls.

TyrellN6
TyrellN6 has a compact and sporty design. Based on concepts and ideas of a hardware synthesizer: a few modulars, novel features, analogue sound, and low price. TyrellN6 is a software version of these ideas. Exclusively available as a free online download from the German magazine Amazona. TyrellN6 by u-he is a free virtual synthesizer inspired by classic hardware synthesizers such as the Roland Juno 60. It has two oscillators with noise, a ring moderator, two LFOs and eight waveforms. The audio source mixer features authentic overdrive and feedback filters, while the twin-filter is similar to uhe's Diva. TyrellN6 offers unison up to eight voices, and analog-type ADSR envelopes which can be looped or triggered by LFO. The software also includes a small modulation matrix that allows depth modulation to be applied from a second source. It also has a chorus effect in three modes and MIDI Learn/Unlearn functionality for hardware control.

Bazille
Bazille is a modular synthesizer developed by uhe that combines digital filters with analog-style oscillators and extensive modulation abilities. It has four digital oscillators that can be used for frequency modulation, phase distortion, and fractal synthesis. This allows for complex sound design. The synthesizer features four self-oscillating, multimode filters with up to six outputs per filter, allowing for a variety of filtering options. Bazille features four ADSR envelopes that can be adjusted for fall and rise, two LFOs that have multiple waveforms and are outputs, as well as a 6-step sequencer with 8 snapshots to allow dynamic modulation. Other components include mapping modules, multiplex modules to mix and modulate signals, and built-in effects like stereo delay, distortion and spring reverb. The interface is modular, allowing the user to connect any input to any output, allowing for complex patching.

BazilleCM
BazilleCM offers a compact and powerful synthesis environment. It is a streamlined version u-he’s modular synthesizer Bazille. It has two digital oscillators that can simultaneously modulate frequency, phase distortion and fractal resonance. This provides a rich palette of sound design. The synthesizer features a multimode analog filter with six parallel outs, two ADSR envelops with adjustable sustain slopes and a low frequency oscillator with a variety of waveforms. A 16-step sequencing system with eight morphable snap shots allows for the creation of intricate patterns. Multiplex units for mixing, modulation and stereo delay are just a few of the components that enhance its versatility. BazilleCM offers up to eight voices of polyphony and a skinnable, resizable user interface. It has over 265 presets that will inspire your creativity.
