Mntra Instruments FLTRS (Skaitmeninis produktas)

The Ultimate Synth Filter Ecosystem

Transform your DAW into a dynamic synthesis engine with 37 legendary analog circuits and experimental physics engines.

THE SOUL OF YOUR SOUND

The essence of your sound comes from the filter, not the oscillator. Experience the warmth of a Minimoog, the organic pluck of a Buchla, and the aggressive bite of an MS-20 with FLTRS. This plugin acts as a creative engine, shaping and breathing with whatever audio you feed it, whether it's a sterile soft synth, a drum bus, or a live vocal. With a built-in envelope follower and AniMod, along with XYZ controls, you’re not just automating an effect — you’re performing an instrument.

ONE INSTANCE. FULL CONTROL. THEN STACK.

Each algorithm in FLTRS is a fully-featured filter instrument, distilled into three main XYZ macro axes for immediate sound shaping without overwhelming parameters. One instance can already transform your audio, but FLTRS is designed to be stacked. Thanks to our custom DSP, you can run multiple instances in series, integrating them with your favorite delays and reverbs to create a massive, modular synthesis engine.

Imagine taking a basic drum loop, running it through the warm drive of a Moog ladder, adding a third-party reverb, feeding it into the gritty bite of a Soviet Polyvox, and locking the harmonics in a shimmering Spectral Freeze.

INTRODUCING ANIMA CIRCUITS™

Many filter plugins rely on static digital approximations that falter under pressure. FLTRS introduces MNTRA’s Anima Circuits technology, which models the physical properties of every resistor, capacitor, and transistor. When you manipulate an Anima Circuits filter, the virtual components interact just like their physical counterparts. Crank the resonance into self-oscillation and drive the input to the limit — it warms up, screams, and sings without digital harshness.

AN ENTIRE STUDIO OF HARDWARE

Building this collection in the physical world would require racks of vintage synthesizers, rare West Coast vactrols, and boutique Eurorack modules. FLTRS consolidates that entire studio into a single plugin, offering 12 hardware-accurate analog circuits, 8 experimental physics engines, and 5 spectral processors, giving you thousands of dollars worth of vintage hardware and impossible acoustic geometry in one place.

37 ALGORITHMS. ZERO FILLER.

We didn’t just emulate the greatest filters in synthesizer history; we broke their physical limits. The Juno-106 (QUASAR-106) now features an adjustable stereo BBD chorus, the Jupiter-6 (EUROPA-6) has negative resonance, and the MS-20 (Filter 35) sweeps continuously between lowpass, notch, and highpass. Authentic analog soul, upgraded with features the hardware never had.

The Featured Four

• Acid Ladder — The squelchy, rubbery diode ladder that defined the TB-303 and launched the acid genre.
• West Coast LPG — An organic, touch-responsive Buchla-style lowpass gate featuring four distinct vactrol types.
• Spectral Freeze — A frequency-domain tool that captures a moment of your audio and locks it into frozen, shimmering harmonic peaks.
• Gravity Filter — A MNTRA original physics engine that opens sharply on transients and falls back based on simulated gravity.

YOU DON’T AUTOMATE IT. YOU PLAY IT.

Standard filter plugins require rigid automation lines in your DAW, resulting in clinical and predictable outcomes. In contrast, every algorithm in FLTRS is alive. The built-in envelope follower listens to your audio — hit a chord harder, and the filter opens wider; back off, and it breathes with your dynamics.

We’ve replaced menu-diving with MNTRA’s signature AniMod XYZ macro surface, allowing you to map cutoff, resonance, and drive to a single animated control. Sweep the macro pad and watch multiple parameters interact simultaneously, designed for tactile sound design and live performance.

Mastering-Grade Output Stage

When you push Anima Circuits into extreme self-oscillation, things can get loud. FLTRS features a mastering-grade output stage, enabling you to drive the filters hard without clipping your DAW. Capture wild resonant peaks with the dual-mode Limiter, switching from transparent modern control to aggressive, 1176-inspired vintage glue.

HEAR HOW THE PROS PLAY IT

• The Electronic Producer: Acid Ladder + Tanh Chaos on a bassline.
• The Sound Designer: Spectral Freeze + Gravity Filter for sci-fi textures.
• The Mix Engineer: SEMblance + Vintage Limiter to warm up a vocal.

THE MNTRA FX ECOSYSTEM

If you already own BOREALIS or BRUITAGE, FLTRS shares the same AniMod XYZ reactive engine. Chain all three together, and your entire signal chain — filter, distortion, reverb — breathes, moves, and reacts to your performance simultaneously.

300 ATELIER PRESETS

Designed by MNTRA’s award-winning sound and interactive team, FLTRS includes 300 Atelier presets that explore every possible sonic iteration — from subtle analog coloring to physics-breaking chaos.

For instant results without tweaking, simply drop the SEMblance (our Oberheim SEM model) or EUROPA-6 (our Jupiter-6 circuit) onto a sterile track, leave the cutoff open, and let the Anima Circuits technology impart expensive analog warmth and transformer weight just by passing your audio through it.
