VirSyn has released Poseidon, a powerful new synthesizer virtual instrument for Windows and Mac OS X in VST, AU, RTAS and stand-alone formats.
At first sight Poseidon looks like a simple structured analog "Oscillator-Filter" synthesizer with all controls visible at once.
This gives Poseidon ease-of-use with almost no learning curve. The real power is working under the hood: The oscillator is nothing less than the spectral modelling sound generator of VirSyn's CUBE synthesizer and the variable slope Filter is a completely new design based on VirSyn's unique F-domain synthesis.
