Key Features
The Intellijel Poliaris is a cascaded OTA filter that builds on the origin of the Dr Octature and Atlantis filters but with a revised core and resonance control. Featured along with the LP, HP and BP outputs is a MULTI output with 27 selectable filter types for you to choose from. The Polaris boasts completely smooth filtering with the cutoff control range being fine-tuned for playability. With its modest size the Polaris still provides much versatility and is an ideal filter for a starter system.

The Intellijel Polaris contains various different filter modes including low pass (LP), high pass (HP), band pass (BP), notch (N) and all pass (AP). However, there is also a 6th PHASER setting that activates a special effect which is fundamentally a blend of the allpassed signal and the original output and can result in interesting sounds when selected. Within each filter mode you can cycle from up to 5 variations with different numbers of poles using the TYPE button, alongside an illuminated coloured LED to indicate the currently selected mode. The MODE and TYPE buttons are used to select the filtered signal available at the MULTI output.
A multi distort switch is fitted on the Polaris allowing you to engage the distortion on the MULTI output to create a rougher, more raw sound from your signal. The INPUT DRIVE attenuator allows you to set the drive or amplification of the input signal, and when set at a higher amount the signal begins to experience a clipped distortion. As well as the smooth filtering, the added feature for distortion can add texture and tonality to your signal making the Polaris a desirable addition to any modular system.
