FabFilter has released version 2.01 of FabFilter One, addressing
some minor problems. Originally released three months ago as a VST plug-in
and standalong app for Windows, FabFilter One is a monophonic lead synthesizer
that realizes the best possible sound.

FabFilter's philosophy is that musicians do not need more features, they need
better sound. This approach has resulted in a solid-sounding oscillator and
a self-resonating cut-off filter that has been tuned to achieve the character
and warmth of a classic analog synthesizer.

Smart parameter interpolation algorithms ensure that FabFilter One responds
immediately to parameter changes while keeping transitions smooth, even with
MIDI controller changes.

Features:

• Aliasing-free oscillator with triangle, sawtooth, square, and noise waveforms
  with three pulse width modulation modes and additional white or pink noise
  
• Self-oscillating digital 12 dB/octave low-pass filter
  
• Frequency and filter modulation capabilities to create leads, drums, and
  diverse sound effects
  
• Smooth portamento feature
  
• Smart parameter interpolation algorithms ensure responsiveness and smooth
  transitions when changing any parameter to avoid digital clicks and zipper
  effects, even with MIDI controller changes
  
• Straightforward user interface with large knobs and buttons for easy and
  precise adjustments
  
• Platform-independent preset system with dozens of sounds and the ability
  to save your own presets as well
  
• Sample-accurate MIDI handling
  
• Arbitrary sample rates
  
• High 24-bits per sample accuracy
  
• Complete documentation with included HTML Help file
  
• Free support with online discussion forum to share experiences and ask
  questions
  
• VSTi plug-in and stand-alone version for Windows 98/2000/XP

FabFilter One 2.01 is now available for $79 (US) as a VST plug-in and stand-alone
version for Windows.

FabFilter is currently working on version 3 of FabFilter One, which will feature
velocity sensitivity and a 16-voice polyphony mode in addition to the current
monophonic behavior. This version will be available both as a Windows VST plug-in
and as an Audio Units plug-in for Mac OS X. The release is scheduled for August
this year.
