The BNO MINI-1 plugin interface: the FLT-1 filter, SAT-1 saturation and MFX-1 modulation slots in a three-slot 500 series rack.

All the individual units

BNO FLT-1 MINI EDITION

Three filter shapes, analog resonance

  • Low pass, high pass and band pass.
  • Cutoff sweeps the full range, 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with equal steps of the knob giving equal musical intervals.
  • Slope is continuous from 12 to 24 dB per octave.
  • Resonance runs to a filter that oscillates on its own, tracking the cutoff.

BNO FLT-1 MINI EDITION

FLT-1 MINI EDITION is two filter stages in cascade with the resonance loop closed around both of them. Turn resonance to the top and the filter oscillates on its own, tracking the cutoff across the whole range.

BNO SAT-1 MINI EDITION

Tape saturation with a smash stage

  • Drive runs from clean through to fully saturated.
  • Smash activates a second, dirtier distortion stage.
  • Mix blends the saturated signal against the clean one, for parallel saturation.
  • Output takes up to 48 dB back off the level for easy gain matching.

BNO SAT-1 MINI EDITION

SAT-1 MINI EDITION is the tape circuit from SAT-1, wired as one character rather than six. Drive sets how hard the curve is pushed, and SMASH puts a second, dirtier stage behind it for when tape alone is not enough: its makeup tracks the drive knob, so engaging it changes the character and not the volume. Mix and output sit after the saturation, so you can blend it back or pull the level down without changing what the circuit is doing.

BNO MFX-1 MINI EDITION

Modulation into delay and reverb

  • Flanger, chorus or phaser, picked with one knob.
  • A tempo synced delay with 9 divisions, from 1/32 to 1/2, triplets included.
  • A plate reverb, high passed, so the tail stays clear of the low end.
  • Fixed order inside the module: modulation, then delay, then reverb.

BNO MFX-1 MINI EDITION

MFX-1 MINI EDITION puts three effects in one slot and gives each of them its own blend. Modulation comes first and is the section that gets oversampled, with the flanger, chorus and phaser all running at once so a change of mode crossfades rather than steps. The echo is tape voiced and synced to the bpm, and the reverb is a plate.

What people are saying

"The BNO Legacy Bundle is definitely up there with the industry stuff. The BNO ECHO-1 is the best delay I’ve ever used and even sounds better than the Matriarch."

Viom

Founder of Eraform Audio - Fraction VST

"The plugins sound crazy high quality. Some real industry sh*t. Nothing more to say. If you’re looking for a good Saturation, Compression, EQ, whatever plugin, BNO definitely is the right choice and a good investment!"

Mick "MST" Steinbach

#1 Charting Producer - NBA YoungBoy, Rod Wave, Lil Tjay

"New plugins are fire! Love the look of them and they sound crazy, sure I’ll be using them in future videos."

Ellis Lost

Billboard #1 Producer - Trippie Redd, G Herbo, NLE Choppa

“Usually most new plugins today are clearly money grabs. The UI's on these are insanely smooth, and the sound outranks a lot of my big name plugins from Waves and Slate. CLIP-1 and VERB-1 are my daily go tos now. No doubt. S-tier stuff.”
