Niviem Filter S/H
Vintage Filter Sample/Hold Effect
Inspired by vintage filter sample/hold effects from the early 1970s. Two modes — Filter (continuous LFO sweep) and Sample/Hold (random stepped modulation) — with a true 12dB/octave state variable filter.
What Makes It Special
Two Authentic Modes
Filter mode for smooth continuous sweeps (classic auto-wah), Sample/Hold mode for random stepped modulation (iconic computer bleeps).
State Variable Filter
True 12dB/octave state variable filter with TPT topology. Musical, non-self-oscillating resonance for warm, expressive sweeps.
OTA-Style Saturation
Soft saturation modeling vintage operational transconductance amplifiers. Adds warmth with frequency-dependent Q reduction.
Five Filter Types
LP (authentic), BP (vocal/nasal), HP (thin/subtle), Notch (phaser-like), and Peak (EQ-like boost) outputs from the SVF.
Tempo Sync
Lock LFO rate to host tempo with note divisions from 4 bars to 1/16 notes for rhythmic, locked filter patterns.
Gaussian Noise Generator
Gaussian distribution noise modeling avalanche transistor behavior for realistic S/H randomness.
