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.
