Quick start
The installer will copy the FabFilter Simplon plug-in into the common VST, VST 3, AU (macOS only)
and Pro Tools plug-in folders on your computer. On macOS, the global plug-in folders in
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins are used.
In most cases, your host will then recognize the plugin automatically. However, if the
instructions below do not work, see Manual
installation instead.
- Pro Tools
Choose an empty insert slot on one of your audio tracks, instrument tracks or buses and select
FabFilter Simplon from the pop-up menu in the Effects section.
- Studio One
Click the '+' button next to the Inserts tab of an audio track, instrument track or bus and
select 'FabFilter Simplon' from the drop-down menu.
- Logic Pro
Choose an empty insert slot on one of your audio tracks, instrument tracks or buses and select
FabFilter Simplon from the pop-up menu. You will find FabFilter Simplon in the Audio
Units > FabFilter section (named Simplon).
- Ableton Live
In Session view, select the track you would like to place FabFilter Simplon on, for example by
clicking the track name. At the left top of Ableton Live's interface, click on the Plug-in
Device Browser icon (third icon from the top). From the plug-ins list, double-click
FabFilter/FabFilter Simplon, or drag it onto the track.
- Cubase
Choose an empty insert slot, for example in the Mixer, and select FabFilter Simplon from the
menu that appears. To use the MIDI features in Simplon, create a new MIDI track and set its
output to the Simplon instance you have just created. (The VST 3 version of Simplon can
be found in the Filter section.)
