MNTRA Instruments has released QUASAR-106, which they describe as a first taste of their analog modeling research and reactive interface philosophy -- inspired by the Roland Juno-106's filter and chorus, studied, modeled, and taken further.
A spokesperson told us, "Most filter plugins use static digital approximations. QUASAR-106 is built on true analog modelling. We model how physical components interact, warm up, and push back when driven. The result: a filter that sings. A chorus that drifts. Drive that stays musical at the top end where digital clipping falls apart."
Two filter slopes: 24dB Juno-style punch, plus a smoother 12dB mode the original never had. Three chorus modes. Anti-aliased drive. Vintage aging in one knob.
