FabFilter has released FabFilter Micro, a new lightweight filter plug-in.

Description:

Featuring the filter first developed for the FabFilter One synthesizer with low-pass and high-pass filter shapes, FabFilter Micro has a “smooth and creamy sound that will turn into raw self-oscillating madness at a flick of the Peak knob”.

The built-in envelope follower offers more creative filter effects by letting you modulate the filter cut-off frequency depending on the amplitude of the incoming signal. Furthermore, the separate input and output gain controls make it easy to amplify or reduce the internal filter saturation at will by adjusting the level of the incoming signal before it hits the filter internals.

FabFilter Micro features fine-tuned knobs and controllers, interactive MIDI Learn, undo/redo and A/B switch, Smart Parameter Interpolation for smooth parameter transitions, an extensive help file with interactive help hints, sample accurate automation, and AltiVec and SSE optimization.

FabFilter Micro is now available for just EUR 15, USD 22 or GBP 14. It can be used on Windows and Mac OS X in VST and VST 3, RTAS and Audio Units plug-in formats. Bundles with FabFilter Micro and other FabFilter plug-ins are also available.

Existing FabFilter customers can purchase FabFilter Micro with a discount by logging in to their online user account.
