Filtomika is a filter effect plugin that emulates the aggressive, unpredictable filter section of the 1980s Soviet Polivoks synthesizer, based on circuit-modeled DSP by Mark Barton. It goes beyond the original hardware with extended features like Starve, Filter Drive, and Amp Drive, plus highpass, notch, and peak filter modes alongside lowpass and bandpass. A syncable LFO with multiple waveforms and an envelope follower lets you create dynamic, auto-wah-style effects that respond to your playing. Use it on drums, guitars, synths, or vocals to add radical, twisted character—from subtle movement to full sonic meltdown. It works as an insert or bus effect on mono or stereo sources, includes over 30 presets, and offers full MIDI control and DAW automation. Ideal for producers seeking gritty, experimental filter textures in FL Studio, Ableton, or Logic.
