FabFilter updates Pro-MB and Pro-Q 2 including Retina support, announces Holiday Sale
December 12, 2014
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FabFilter has just released updates for both FabFilter Pro-Q 2 and Pro-MB. FabFilter Pro-MB gets some great new features that were first introduced in Pro-Q 2, like Full Screen mode, interface resizing, horizontal zooming and side chain spectrum visualization. And best of all: both plug-ins now feature Retina support on OS X and High DPI support on Windows.
Frederik Slijkerman, co-owner of FabFilter Software Instruments: "Now that high resolution displays are becoming more mainstream, we are genuinely excited to take full advantage of them in our plug-ins. The result is beautiful and also just very pleasant to use with crisp text and ultra-sharp display curves."
In addition, FabFilter announces a Holiday Sale running until January 1, offering 25% discount on all plug-in bundles in the online FabFilter shop: www.fabfilter.com/shop. During this sale, customers who already own one or more FabFilter plug-ins can login to their account at www.fabfilter.com/myaccount and purchase additional plug-ins with 25% discount or more via their Personal Upgrade Offer.

- Added horizontal zooming in the display.
- It is now possible to move a band horizontally while holding down its solo button.
