Naive LPF is a resonant low/high-pass filter plug-in VST effect for Windows with a very convincing, classic sound. Naive LPF features a separate envelope follower for each of 6 channels and full automation, MIDI CC and even joystick control of all parameters.
This filter has been developed to closely model the way some real world analog circuits work, as opposed to some other techniques which, while well adapted to the math processing power of a computer, just don't seem to render the same organic feel. Not to say that those techniques aren't just as valid in some applications, but this particular effect was designed to provide "analog feel" at the expense of a bit more processing power. This was not intended to be a "clean" or "transparent" filter by any means. Really, at this point in its development it should be called the "Not-So-Naive LPF" because it's actually quite a sophisticated and useful implementation.
The filter plug-in that started it all, Naive LPF is one of Admiral Quality's technology test-beds. When we want to try something new we add it to Naive, and we give it away for free to ensure we're getting thousands of testers. So far, so good -- we get a lot of fan mail about this one!
Naive LPF features the same high quality sound as it's big brother SCAMP, but with fewer features. If you like Naive, you'll want to look at SCAMP too!
Bertatron: filterbank consisting of 7 stages, each with control of cutoff and frequency. What really sets this filter apart is the ability to invert the phase of each filter allowing the ability to really tailor the sound.

Sukreep: Groove Multi-mode Filter is a freeware VST Plug-in for PC. Sukreep is a stereo multi-mode filter with saturation and tempo based envelope follower. Sukreep can be used as either a send or an insert effect. The inspiration behind Sukreep is classic analog filter modules essential in many genres, from wahfunk to filtered disco. I thought it would be cool to have a software version with a tempo synced decay time so Sukreep was born!
Features Dry mix, Lowpass/Highpass/Bandpass filter, cutoff (with anti-stepping algorithm), Q, Saturator (tube distortion model), Trigger Threshold, Linear/Exponential shaped envelope follower, Decay time set in milliseconds or tempo based steps, Filter envelope moduation amount.

Breakdown is a filter effect with an internal variable length step sequencer. it allows you to select the type of filter, cutoff and resonance for each step, as well as start, end, and sequencer modes for a wide variety of effects. breakdown can be hand set to create wah wah, gate, and wobble effects, or use the patch randomizer for some intense audio mangling. version 2.0 is not reverse compatible with 1.5 patches, so be careful when installing. free vst plugin. pc
