VirSyn has introduced Poseidon, a new virtual synthesizer. At first sight, Poseidon looks like a simple structured analog “Oscillator-Filter” synthesizer with all controls visible at once. This lets Poseidon offer ease of use, with nearly no learning curve.

The real power is working under the hood: The oscillator is nothing less than the spectral modelling sound generator of CUBE. The variable slope Filter is a completely new design based on Virsyn’s F-domain synthesis.

The download version of Poseidon is available in our online shop and cost’s 199,– Euro.
The boxed version will be available in approx 3 weeks and the MSRP will be 219,– Euro.

A fully functional, time limited demo version will be available in the next days – a Syncrosoft Dongle is needed.

You can preview the sound of Poseidon below.
