Can one switch off bypass fading?

I might be wrong, but to me it seems that engaging the bypass button does not bypass the plugin with immediate effect. There seems to be some kind of fading between bypassed and engaged. If my observation is correct, is there a user setting that disables or controls the invisible fader?

I've never noticed it. It's probably to stop an audible click.

Anyone from Fabfilter seeing this?

Hi Michael,

The bypass feature in our plug-ins indeed performs soft bypassing to prevent clicks. You can't turn this off. Usually the bypass button in the host does a hard bypass with clicks, so you can use that if needed.

Cheers,
