Updates for FabFilter One and FabFilter Volcano released

Amsterdam, The Netherlands, September 1, 2005. FabFilter has released version 1.11 of the FabFilter Volcano filter effect plug-in, and version 3.02 of the FabFilter One synthesizer plug-in. These updates are free for existing users and contain small enhancements and bug fixes.

FabFilter Volcano version 1.11 fixes possible internal overflows that could occur with certain combinations of settings and input sounds. These overflows would result in extreme CPU spikes. The Clean preset has been changed to reduce distortion with loud input sounds, but it is still not intended to be completely transparent. Originally released in May 2005, FabFilter Volcano is a versatile filter effect plug-in for Windows and Mac OS X. FabFilter Volcano stands out with many modulation options and above all FabFilters unique digital filter technology that results in extremely smooth and analog-sounding filters.

FabFilter One version 3.02 fixes problems with preset automation in Logic and with loading presets in the VST Mac OS X version. Compatibility with Ableton Live has been improved as well. Originally released in 2004, the FabFilter One synthesizer plug-in for Windows and Mac OS X focuses on the best possible sound and filter quality. FabFilter Ones filter sounds raw but never cheap or digital, even at full resonance.

FabFilter Volcano is available for $139 (US) as a VST plug-in for Windows, and as an Audio Units plug-in and a VST plug-in for Mac OS X. FabFilter One owners can purchase FabFilter Volcano for just $99 (US). FabFilter One is available for $59 (US) as a VST plug-in for Windows, and as an Audio Units plug-in and VST plug-in for Mac OS X. Free trial versions can be downloaded from www.fabfilter.com. System requirements are either Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) or higher with an Audio Units or VST 2 host, or Windows XP, 2000, 98, Me, or 2003, with a VST 2 host.

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. FabFilter will expand their range of plug-ins in the future, supporting both Windows and Mac OS X, providing the best possible sound quality and filter designs.
