The Intellijel Polaris VCF / Phaser Eurorack Synth Module is a sonic powerhouse that deserves a spot in any modular synthesizer setup. This module is not just a filter; it's an entire spectrum of sound-shaping possibilities. With 27 selectable filter modes, including lowpass, bandpass, highpass, notch, all-pass, and phaser configurations, the Polaris offers an expansive palette for crafting your signature sound. Each mode is accessible through dedicated outputs for LP, BP, and HP filters, plus a versatile MULTI output for even more tonal exploration.

The Polaris is engineered for both subtlety and intensity, featuring an input drive control that introduces soft clipping for added warmth or drive. For those moments when you need a bit more grit, the switchable asymmetric multi-distortion circuit provides just the right amount of aggression.
