FabFilter releases 64-bit plug-ins for Mac and Windows

AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, May 24, 2010. FabFilter has released native 64-bit versions of all FabFilter plug-ins for both Windows and Mac OS X. The entire FabFilter plug-in range, consisting of the Pro-Q equalizer, Pro-C compressor, Timeless 2 delay, Twin 2 and One synthesizers, and the Volcano 2, Simplon and Micro filter plug-ins, is now available in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions, supporting the following plug-in formats: VST, VST 3, Audio Units, and RTAS (32-bit only).

In addition, FabFilter has updated both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of all plug-ins with bug fixes and small improvements. The most important changes are:

- All plug-ins now offer keyboard text entry for parameters: just double-click on a knob to edit the parameter value directly.

- Implemented soft bypass feature in the Audio Units, VST 3 and RTAS plug-in versions.

- Improved MIDI Learn feature in the FabFilter Pro-C compressor plug-in to provide an immediate overview of all MIDI controller associations and make setting up new connections easier.

- It is now possible to enable the spectrum analyzer in the FabFilter Pro-Q equalizer plug-in by default, by overwriting the Default Setting preset after the desired spectrum analyzer mode has been set.

- The detune and master tune parameters in the FabFilter Twin 2 synthesizer plug-in are now shown in semitones. In addition, you can enter the value with the keyboard using octaves and cents as well (e.g. '0.5 oct' or '50 cents').

- Fixed behavior of the Input Gain, Output Gain and Effect Mix knobs in the FabFilter Simplon filter plug-in.

The updates are free for existing FabFilter customers. Updates and 30-day trial versions are available on www.fabfilter.com/download/.

System requirements for the 64-bit plug-ins are a 64-bit edition of Windows Vista or Windows 7, or Mac OS X 10.6 (Intel only). The 32-bit plug-ins require either Windows XP, Vista or 7, or Mac OS X 10.4 and higher (PowerPC and Intel).

About FabFilter:

FabFilter Software Instruments was founded in 2002 by Frederik Slijkerman MSc and Floris Klinkert MSc. Both being professional software engineers as well as musicians and studio engineers, they decided to create their own software instruments because none of the available products met their high standards. Currently, the FabFilter product range consists of the Volcano 2, Timeless 2, Simplon and Micro effect plug-ins, the Twin 2 and One synthesizer plug-ins and the Pro-Q and Pro-C professional equalizer and compressor plug-ins. FabFilter will continue to update and expand their range of plug-ins in the future, providing the best possible sound quality and new, innovative user interfaces.
