A Juno-inspired filter, chorus and drive plug-in for adding motion, width and analogue colour to any source.

QUASAR-106 rebuilds the Juno-106’s filter, drive and BBD chorus signal path on MNTRA’s Anima Circuits technology: alongside the punchy 24 dB four-pole slope comes a smoother 12 dB slope the original never offered, plus a drive stage that warms and sings instead of clipping, three BBD chorus modes and a stereo image up to 2.5 times wider. A single Vintage knob ages the whole circuit, as the chorus drifts deeper, the high end darkens, the noise floor lifts and the resonance develops a slow wobble. You play it through the reactive Perform View, where the iris ring drives cutoff and resonance, the field behind it controls chorus depth and stereo width and the centre circle toggles the filter slope, while the Advanced panel exposes every parameter for precise control. The OSC Safe Mode lets the filter sing without ever letting it scream, and every parameter is fully automatable in your DAW.
