FabFilter Simplon

FabFilter Simplon is a simplified version of FabFilter Volcano 3 with two independent multimode filters providing low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass responses with 12/24/48 dB/octave slopes. The filters can be used in serial or parallel mode.

Originally developed for FabFilter One, Simplon’s filters were designed from the ground up to be the fattest and smoothest self-oscillating digital filters possible. Simplon’s filters sound raw but never cheap or ‘digital’, even at full resonance.

Each filter offers three different filter characteristics that define the unique sound and overdrive of the filter. They range from smooth filters with moderate overdrive to raw, self-oscillating over-the-top madness!

In combination with the response and slope settings, FabFilter Simplon offers up to 27 different filter types.

Tweak the filters with Simplon’s large interactive filter display that shows both filter curves and lets you drag them around. You can adjust the filters separately or both at the same time.

And of course, you get all the usual FabFilter goodies: perfectly fine-tuned knobs that work both in vertical and circular drag modes, interactive MIDI Learn, Smart Parameter Interpolation for smooth parameter transitions, great presets, extensive help file with interactive help hints, sample accurate automation for all parameters, AltiVec and SSE optimization, and much more.

Features:

• Two state-of-the-art multimode filters with three different characteristics per filter, (including the one originally featured in FabFilter One synth plug-in)
• Lowpass, highpass, and bandpass filter types for each filter
• Control your filter slope steepness with three settings: 12, 24, 48 dB/octave
• Choose between serial (one after another) and parallel (both at same time) filtering modes
• Large interactive filter display, with large controls for flawless live performances
• Undo and redo buttons let you make easy adjustments
• MIDI Learn lets you assign parameter controls to your MIDI controller
• Preset browser lets you choose from up to 22 presets
• Smart Parameter Interpolation allows for smooth parameter changes without creating artifacts
• Sample-accurate automation of all parameters
• Interactive help hints and an extensive help file make for easy navigation of the plug-in
• Available in VST, VST3, Audio Units, AAX Native and AudioSuite formats (all both 64-bit and 32-bit), as well as RTAS (32-bit only)

Controls:

• Intuitive filter display lets you set the cutoff and peak of both filters by simply dragging a mouse over button icons
• Filters contain additional knob controls for cutoff and peak as well as filter type (HP, LP, BP), filter slope, and one of three filter characteristics
• Set filters in series or parallel
• Input, Output, and Dry/Wet Mix Knobs
• MIDI on/off switch and MIDI learn button makes it easy to control parameters with MIDI controller
