Cherry Audio Filtomika Filter.
Filtomika is an effect plugin that recreates the iconic filter section of the 1980s Soviet Polivoks synthesizer, inspired by the expanded multi-mode filter from Cherry Audio's award-winning Atomika virtual instrument. Built with circuit-modeled DSP by acclaimed developer Mark Barton, Filtomika incorporates features that surpass the original hardware. These include an extended range of waveforms for its syncable modulator, additional filter response modes, and Atomika’s unique Starve, Filter Drive, and Amp Drive controls, offering a dramatically expanded and versatile sound palette.
Filtomika allows you to transform any sound—drums, guitars, synthesizers, or even vocals—into the radical and enigmatic tones that define Atomika. The plugin includes a user-friendly preset browser with over 30 production-ready presets and supports full MIDI control and DAW automation, featuring intuitive MIDI learn and mapping options. Usable as both an insert and bus effect, it works seamlessly with mono and stereo sources, making it a versatile tool for any production.
