Inside QUASAR-106
Modeled at the component level — every resistor, capacitor, and transistor.
Anima Circuits Engine
The punchy 4-pole contour plus a 2-pole mode the original never offered.
24dB + 12dB Filter
Three chorus modes — slow, tight, and both at once for thick stereo motion.
3 BBD modes Chorus
Vintage-style saturation from subtle warmth to full harmonic grit.
Analog Drive
Chorus drift, high-end darkening, noise floor — forty years of aging in one control.
Vintage Aging
VST3, AU, and AAX for macOS and Windows.

Analog Color Filter Engine
Analog Color Filter Engine
QUASAR-106 is a Juno-inspired filter, chorus, and drive plugin for producers who want real analog motion, not a preset. Push the resonance and the filter sings, wobbles, and pushes back like a physical circuit — forty years of beautifully aged electronics, dialed in from a single control.

Technology
QUASAR-106 brings our analog modeling research into a focused Juno-inspired effect.
Most filter plugins
Static digital approximations — models that sound fine in the sweet spot but shatter into harsh clipping and lifeless aliasing the moment you push them.
Anima Circuits
Models the actual physical behavior of the circuit — how components interact, warm up, and push back when driven hard.
The full research
QUASAR-106 brings our analog modeling research into a focused Juno-inspired effect. Where most filter plugins rely on static digital approximations — models that sound fine in the sweet spot but shatter into harsh clipping and lifeless aliasing the moment you push them — Anima Circuits models the actual physical behavior of the circuit. The way components interact, warm up, and push back when driven hard.
That's what gives the filter its character. The chorus drifts. The drive retains a musical top end when pushed into saturation. It warms up, it sings, and it ages — without a hint of digital harshness.
Technical Specifications
Demo version
Test the filter, chorus, drive, and reactive interface before you buy. The demo mutes periodically so you can check the sound and workflow in your own session.

QUASAR-106 is an audio effect plugin, not a standalone synthesizer. It processes your existing audio through its modeled filter, chorus, and drive circuits to add analog color, motion, and width.
No. QUASAR-106 authorizes with your MNTRA account — no dongles or iLok.
Yes. Apple Silicon and Intel Macs (macOS 10.11+), and Windows 10+ — VST3, AU, and AAX.
QUASAR-106 is a Juno-inspired analog color engine. The filter, chorus, and drive are physically modeled at the component level — they interact and push back like real circuits, not static digital approximations.
The 24dB mode is the punchy 4-pole Juno-style contour. The 12dB mode is a smoother 2-pole slope the original hardware never offered. Neither is a compromise — both are modeled for character.
It simulates forty years of beautifully aged electronics — chorus drift, high-end darkening, rising noise floor, and resonance wobble — all from a single control.
The MNTRA FX Ecosystem
QUASAR-106 and FLTRS share the same Anima Circuits engine. Chain them together — QUASAR-106 for Juno-inspired analog color, FLTRS for 37 legendary filter circuits — and your entire signal chain breathes with the same physical modeling vocabulary.
Juno-inspired filter, chorus, and drive for analog motion, width, and vintage character.
