FOLVKano 0.1.12 The FOLVKano synthesizer interface.
Why it exists

One synth.
No clutter.

Every decision made about FOLVKano starts from one question: what do you actually reach for in a session, and how fast can you get there?

The usual approach

Layer on layer

  1. Load a synth and dial in a basic sound
  2. Add a separate filter plug-in for tone shaping
  3. Route an LFO from yet another source to the filter
  4. Open an arpeggiator plug-in and sync it to tempo
  5. Add chorus, delay and reverb on separate effect slots
  6. Wire everything up and keep all the levels balanced
  7. Do it again for every new part in the session

Then start writing

With FOLVKano

Everything in one place

  1. Open FOLVKano, play, adjust, done

Oscillators, filter, envelope, LFOs, arpeggiator and effects are all on the front panel. No separate plug-in chains, no routing to keep in sync across a session. Save it as a preset and the next track takes one click.

Then keep writing

What is inside

Built to reach
sound faster

Every section is exposed on the front panel. Nothing buried in a submenu, nothing that requires routing to make work.

01

Two oscillators, full spread

Oscillator 1 and 2 each have shape, tuning and level. Stack them in unison with adjustable detune and spread for anything from a tight lead to a wide pad. Sub and noise are on their own sliders and do not eat into the oscillator mix.

02

Resonant multimode filter

Low-pass, band-pass and high-pass modes with self-oscillating resonance. Envelope depth, key tracking and velocity sensitivity are all there without a submenu. Sounds analog because the circuit model is based on one.

03

Twin LFOs and an arpeggiator

Two independent LFOs with tempo sync, each routable to pitch, filter, amplitude or pan. The arpeggiator has standard up/down/ random modes with adjustable gate length and hold. All of it is exposed on the front panel.

04

Built-in effects

Chorus, delay and reverb are inside the instrument, not on a separate effects bus. The send levels and a few key parameters are on the main panel so you can shape a sound and move on without setting up a chain.

05

Presets

Save your own patches to a plain folder under Documents that FOLVKano can open for you. Nothing is locked in a database you cannot get at.

Before you pay

Run it on
a real session

The download is the full plug-in. Without a licence it runs in demo mode: every twenty seconds the audio drops out for five, then fades back in. Nothing else is held back. Every oscillator, every parameter, every preset works in full.

No time limit and no sign-up. Use it for as long as you like, and buy a licence when the mute starts annoying you.

macOS 11+, Apple Silicon and Intel · VST3, AU and Standalone · includes the uninstaller

Turning the demo into the full version

Three steps, once

  1. Buy it. You get an email to choose a password.
  2. Open FOLVKano in your DAW and sign in with that email address and password.
  3. That is it. The plug-in stores its licence and never contacts us again.

The plug-in then shows Licensed to: your name in the bottom right. The sign-in happens once, on the machine you are activating. From then on it runs entirely offline.

One purchase

Activate once,
then forget us

You sign in the first time you open it, and that is the last the plug-in ever hears from our server. What it keeps is a signed licence on your own machine, so a dead internet connection or a website that is down cannot stop a session.

Your licence runs on one computer at a time. Moving it takes seconds and needs nobody's help: open your account, release the machine you are leaving, sign in on the next one.

Before you buy

Questions

How do I get the plug-in after paying?

Checkout is handled by Paddle. The moment the payment confirms we create your account and email you a link to choose a password, along with a download link. That usually lands within a minute. If it has not arrived after ten, check spam and then mail us. Every order is recoverable.

You then open the plug-in, sign in once, and it activates itself. There is no licence file to keep track of and nothing to copy into a folder.

I forgot my password.

Use the forgot-password link on the sign-in page and you will get a fresh one by email. It works once and expires after a day.

There is nothing else to lose. Your purchase lives on your account, not in a file you have to keep safe, so a wiped drive costs you nothing.

Will it run on my Mac?

It needs macOS 11 or later. FOLVKano is a universal build, so it runs on both Apple Silicon (M1 and newer) and Intel Macs. There is no Windows version yet.

macOS says it is from an unidentified developer.

That is expected right now: the installer is not yet signed with an Apple Developer ID. Right-click the .pkg and choose Open rather than double-clicking it, then confirm. You only have to do it once.

Does it phone home while I work?

No. The plug-in talks to us exactly once, when you activate it. It then holds a signed licence on your own machine and verifies that locally, so an offline studio, a plane, or our server being down changes nothing about a session that is already running.

Can I use it on more than one computer?

One at a time. You can install it on as many machines as you like, but the licence is active on one, and you move it yourself: sign in to your account, press Release next to the computer you are leaving, then sign in on the new one. It takes seconds and does not involve us.

Can I get a refund?

Digital goods are delivered immediately, so the statutory EU right of withdrawal is waived at checkout. If the plug-in genuinely does not work on a supported machine and we cannot fix it, mail us and you get your money back.

The makers

We make plugins because we love music. The emotion, the energy, and the endless process of shaping an idea into something that truly feels alive. As producers ourselves, we know that the best tools don’t interrupt creativity. They support it.

That’s why every FØLVK plugin is built with passion, care and real craftsmanship. We focus on what truly matters: great sound, an inspiring workflow and controls that simply make sense. No unnecessary complexity. No endless menus. Just powerful, reliable tools designed to make the lives of fellow producers easier and more effective.

Simple by nature. Serious in sound. Made for music.
