FabFilter

Today we have released the FabFilter Twin 1.10 update, which contains the following improvements and bug fixes:

* Implemented new optimizations that especially work well with unison
voices. CPU usage has now been reduced by more than 50% when using a high
number of unison voices.

* Added a floating parameter value display to the interface for all knobs.

* Added an optional filter display view, in which the filter curves can be dragged separately or together. Using Ctrl-click or Shift-click, slope and responses can be set directly in the filter display. Use the small toggle button in the lower-left corner of the filter area to toggle between the filter display view and the normal knobs view.

* Added three new filter characteristics, especially designed for FabFilter Twin.

* Added the possibility to drag a modulation slot and move it to another
place in the modulation matrix. This works even between slot banks and
enables you to keep the modulation matrix organized.

* Added support for viewing modulation connections for a specific target, in
addition to the existing possibility to show the connections for a specific
modulation source. Connections for a source or target can now be shown by
double-clicking a source icon or a target knob.

* Modulation source icons of sources that are currently in use, are now
highlighted. This is very useful when browsing presets, for example. You can
immediately see whether a preset uses the mod wheel, velocity, aftertouch,
or other modulation sources.

* Changed the slot bank select button into three separate A, B and C slot
bank buttons, which makes switching banks easier and faster. The slot bank
buttons will appear dimmed if a slot bank does not contain any active slots.

* Added (vertical) Shift-drag fine-tune behavior to knobs, in addition to
the current circular fine-tune mode.

* Increased the maximum number of voices to 32.

* Increased the maximum unison frequency detune to 5 times the previous maximum, which makes unison sound much better when using a high number of
unison voices.

* Added a portamento mode switch for choosing either normal or
fingered/legato portamento and increased the maximum portamento time to 5 seconds.

* Added ASIO support to the Windows stand-alone version.

* Slightly increased interface contrast.

* Fixed some bugs concerning LFO sync, slots being marked as 'invalid' when
this was not the case at all, license validation failing on the Receptor and
problems with the 'next/previous preset' button when using the plug-in in Cubase.

Enjoy!

Nice! I just wanted fingered portamento, everything else is a huge bonus. Thank you!

Fantastic. This addressed all of my minor issues and added a bunch of great new stuff (love the Volcano-style graphical filter editor).

Thanks for the update!

One Q: Seems mono patches I've created in v1 cannot be modified to poly under v1.1. Can anyone confirm?

using the AU 1.1 under OSX 10.4.5, host Live 5.0.3.

Cheers!

hi polyslax,

It should always be possible to switch between mono and poly. I've tested here in Live 5 on OS X and didn't have any problems. Could you send us a patch with which the problem occurs?

Cheers,
