FabFilter One promises exceptional sound quality and
innovative filter design
Amsterdam, The Netherlands, March 17, 2004. FabFilter, a
young software company, announces the release of FabFilter
One, its first VSTi plug-in. FabFilter One is a powerful
monophonic lead synthesizer that realizes the best possible
sound and filter quality through innovative design techniques
and the utmost attention to detail.
FabFilter?s philosophy is that musicians do not need more
features, they need better sound. A new design approach has
resulted in a pure and solid-sounding oscillator and a unique
self-resonating cut-off filter that has been tuned carefully to
achieve the character and warmth of a classic analog
synthesizer. FabFilter One?s filter sounds raw but never cheap
or ?digital?, even at full resonance.
Smart parameter interpolation algorithms ensure that
FabFilter One responds immediately to parameter changes
while keeping transitions perfectly smooth, even with MIDI
controller changes. The attention to detail shows in the fine-
tuned portamento feature that really makes your play come
alive.
Whether you?re a musician looking for a software synthesizer
that sounds better than anything else, or a producer who
wants the raw filter capabilities of a classic analog synthesizer
with the flexibility and power of a plug-in, FabFilter One is an
essential part of your digital studio.
Key features:
* Aliasing-free oscillator with triangle, sawtooth, square, and
noise waveforms with three pulse width modulation modes
and additional white or pink noise
* Exceptionally fat and smooth self-oscillating digital 12
dB/octave low-pass filter
* Extensive frequency and filter modulation capabilities to
create the best-sounding leads and drums and the most
diverse sound effects
* Smooth and evocative portamento feature, fine-tuned to
perfection
* Smart parameter interpolation algorithms ensure responsiveness
and smooth transitions when changing any parameter to avoid
digital clicks and zipper effects, even with MIDI controller
changes
* Straightforward and modern user interface with large knobs and
buttons for easy and precise adjustments
* Platform-independent preset system with dozens of great sounds
and the ability to save your own presets as well
* Sample-accurate MIDI handling
* Arbitrary sample rates
* High 24 bits per sample accuracy
* Complete documentation with included HTML Help file
* Free support with online discussion forum to share experiences
and ask questions on www.fabfilter.com/support
* VSTi plug-in and stand-alone version for Windows 98/2000/XP
FabFilter is working on an Audio Units version of FabFilter One
for Mac OS X, which will be released later this year. Plans for
future products include a polyphonic software synthesizer and
a filter effect plug-in that will build on the technology in
FabFilter One.
FabFilter One is now available for the introduction price of US
$79 as a VSTi plug-in and stand-alone version for Windows on
