Nonlinear Filter

Kilohearts

Nonlinear Filter is a coloring filter effect that adds vintage analog character and nonlinear distortion to sounds. It features five filter types (all pass, low pass, band pass, high pass, and notch) with selectable nonlinearity modes ranging from clean, transparent filtering to progressively more colored and distorted variations. The plugin excels at adding nasty, character-filled analog twang and creative filtering effects across a variety of production styles.

Key Features

015 filter types: all pass, low pass, band pass, high pass, notch
02Drive parameter to intensify nonlinear behavior
03Multiple nonlinearity modes from clean to heavily colored
04Q parameter for resonance control at cutoff frequency
05Selectable Mode controls for different flavors of nonlinear distortion

Things to Try

  • 01Increase Drive to make the nonlinear behavior more prominent and emphasized
  • 02Select different Mode settings to explore varying degrees of signal coloration and distortion
  • 03Use high Q values to make the filter resonate at the cutoff frequency for pronounced peaks
