OLGA is a virtual analog synthesizer unlike any other, designed from first
principles to be distinctive.

During the golden era of analog synthesis, many breeds came and went. Some
were popular, some were instantly forgotten, some became classics. One rare
breed doesn't fit into any easy category: handmade experiments from
unexpected places, synths that were filled with life and character. They
encourage experimentation and exploration, and reward you with unexpected and
exciting sounds, vibrant and human. These are the dusty gems you could spend
your whole life searching for. This is OLGA.

OLGA's architecture is that of a classic analog poly-synth, but without the
neurotic conformity. Approach with a sense of adventure; turn knobs, push
buttons, play. Olga will respond to your attentions and you will discover new
sounds; you will discover inspiration; you will discover a duck.

OLGA’s unique, living sound is derived from groundbreaking signal processing
advances, not from the same old recycled code dressed up in childish
marketing acronyms. It's just coincidence that this new technology happens to
spell out ...

Bezier Antialiased Dynamic Analog Synthesis System A truly new approach to
DSP waveform generation for the emulation of glorious analog imperfection.
OLGA’s free running oscillators are in a constant state of unstable
variation. No mere ‘pitch drift’ but a subtle and deeply musical instability
in the generation of the waveforms themselves, free of aliasing artifacts and
light on your CPU.

Gaussian Reactive Oscillator Overdrive Virtual Engine Sometimes the joy of an
analog synthesizer comes from abusing it, pushing internal levels beyond
their intended limits in search of those cherished nonlinearities. Throughout
OLGA’s signal path levels can be pushed through saturation and into full
overdrive, spreading a sound palette of warmth and character through to
filth, drive and power.

Why the Russian? The right kind of limitations can be surprisingly
liberating, even inspiring. Most people "program" a synth by picking a preset
and, maybe, turning the cutoff knob a bit. We wanted to design an instrument
that would invite more creative play, and create an environment where you
will turn a knob you'd never think to turn if you thought you knew how it
would affect the sound. Olga is meant to be approached in a spirit of playful
experimentation and exploration, and our hope is that she will reward your
sense of adventure.

Of course, even the best adventures benefit from a map to find your way home,
so if you find where White Tie is hiding on Olga, you can also find some
remedial language help. Have fun!
