Polaris Multimode VCF Filter + Phaser

Intellijel Polaris

For those looking to add a operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) with unmatched versatility to their Eurorack modular setup, meet Intellijel’s newest filter: the Polaris.

Polaris is an uncompromisingly versatile 4-stage filter in just 10HP. Inspired by Intellijel's Dr. Octature and Atlantis filters, the Polaris contains both a completely redesigned interior and superior resonance control. It also features dedicated LP, HP, and BP outputs, as well as a proficient MULTI output that features 27 different filter modes.

One the one hand, Polaris can be used with its drive at a very low setting, which results in some seriously creamy filtering. On the other, the drive can be cranked and users can use the asymmetric distortion circuit to achieve a fiercer sound. Additionally, Polaris sports an AP phaser mode than can be used in conjunction with the module’s FM capabilities to produce a phaser effect.
