Niviem Bucket AD01
Analog Bucket Brigade Delay
Inspired by the legendary Moog MF-104M Analog Delay (2000-2017). True 4096-stage BBD emulation with SA572 companding, voltage-controlled LFO, and authentic analog character.
What Makes It Special
MN3005 BBD Emulation
True 4096-stage bucket-brigade delay modeling with clock-dependent Butterworth filtering. LONG mode uses dual chips (8192 stages) with authentic 4-filter cascade.
SA572 Companding
Log-domain compressor/expander with 2:1 ratio, 3ms attack, 13.5ms release. Crystal-clear repeats with dramatically reduced noise floor.
Dual Delay Modes
SHORT mode (40-400ms) for bright immediate delays. LONG mode (80-800ms) for warmer, darker textures with extended decay.
6-Waveform LFO
Sine, Triangle, Square, Sample & Hold, Saw, and Ramp waveforms with tempo sync. Create chorus, vibrato, or experimental pitch effects.
TL072 Drive Stage
Modeled input saturation with authentic slew-rate limiting and ADAA tanh function. Up to 16× oversampling for transparent saturation.
Analog Character Options
Companding on/off for clean vs. lo-fi character. Clock bleed for authentic BBD artifacts. Musical self-oscillation at high feedback.
