Pretty great

Everything is awesome. Very versatile, sounds oh so good! Only thing I don't like is that is takes line-level inputs, and not modular level, so you need to attenuate before using it.

Amazing filter

Polaris Versatile Multimode VCF + Phaser The Polaris is a 4-stage cascaded OTA filter designed by David Dixon. It builds on the lineage of the Dr. Octature and Atlantis filters, but with a totally revised core and resonance control. Along with dedicated LP, HP and BP outputs it features a configurable MULTI output capable of an unprecedented 27 different filter modes.

With drive turned down the Polaris is capable of buttery smooth filtering, and the cutoff control range has been fine-tuned for playability. With the drive dialled up and the new asymmetric multi distortion circuit engaged it creates a more aggressive sound. Not content to be just a filter, the Polaris’s AP phaser mode combined with frequency modulation can be used to achieve a phaser effect.

With so much versatility in a modest size, the Polaris is an ideal filter for a starter system and an excellent addition to the tonal palette of a larger modular.

A+

Amazing oscillator for very precise waveforms and 1v/oct tracking. Also doubles as an LFO!
