Filtomika is an effect plugin that emulates the wild filter section of the 1980s Soviet Polivoks synthesizer and is based on the expanded multi-mode filter introduced in Cherry Audio's award-winning Atomika virtual instrument. Featuring circuit-modeled DSP designs by the acclaimed developer Mark Barton, Filtomika also includes other methods from Atomika that go beyond the original hardware. These enhancements include an extended selection of waveforms for its syncable modulator, additional filter response modes, and Atomika's unique Starve, Filter Drive, and Amp Drive controls, further expanding its twisted sound palette.

With Filtomika, you can process any sound—whether it's drums, guitars, other synthesizers, or even vocals—and achieve the radical, often mysterious sonic results characteristic of Atomika. The plugin features a user-friendly preset browser with over 30 production-ready presets and offers comprehensive MIDI control and DAW automation, complete with intuitive MIDI learn and mapping capabilities. It can be used as an insert or bus effect and is fully compatible with mono and stereo sources.

Don't just shape your sound; make it melt down with Filtomika.
