A rare mono synth that treats the filter section like the main event, Filtopia is built around a bank of five analogue filters wired in parallel for sweeping, multi-band tones and vocal-like formant textures. Analogue Solutions says this limited-edition instrument will be built in just 200 units.
Behind that distinctive filter bank, Filtopia is a fully analogue desktop synth with three VCOs, two sub-oscillators, two VCAs, three ADSR envelopes, two LFOs, noise, MIDI to CV, an 8-step CV sequencer, and stereo outputs. The result is a sound source aimed at everything from classic subtractive lines to drones, noise textures, and experimental filter motion.
What makes it stand out is not simply having five filters, but having them offset and resonant enough to create rich sweeps and vowel-style timbres that a single filter cannot produce. It is a characterful, limited-run synth for players who want the filter bank itself to become the instrument.
