FabFilter One Synthesizer Plugin

Description

Simple One Oscillator Synthesizer With The Best Sound

FabFilter has put tremendous effort in creating the best cut-off filter ever. Their new design approach has resulted in the fattest and smoothest self-oscillating digital filter you have ever heard. It has been tuned carefully to achieve the character and warmth of a classic analog synthesizer. FabFilter One’s filter sounds raw but never cheap or ‘digital’, even at full resonance.The filter is fed by an equally high-quality solid-sounding oscillator, developed from scratch to be completely aliasing-free. It features sawtooth, triangle, and square wave forms with pulse width modulation.The oscillator and the filter can be modulated by the LFO and the EG. The LFO offers triangle and square wave forms, with adjustable wave balance so any wave form between sawtooth and triangle can be selected. The tempo can be synchronized to the host. The EG has the usual ADSR knobs, but with a perfectly fine-tuned feel. Also, it has an additional Hold setting that extends the time keys are held down.What FabFilter One excels at is the attention to detail and fine-tuning that is visible throughout the plug-in. For example, the portamento feature doesn’t just slide from one note to another, but uses a carefully selected algorithm to make your playing livelier and give it just that little extra bit of magic.Smart Parameter Interpolation handles changes to any of FabFilter One’s parameters, ensuring both responsiveness and smooth transitions. There are no annoying digital clicks and zipper effects, and even MIDI controller changes are handled perfectly smooth.Naturally, the FabFilter One plug-in handles all parameter changes at sample accuracy and it can be used with arbitrary sample rates. All parameters are fully automatable within your favorite host and via MIDI Learn. The included help file describes all features of FabFilter One in detail, together with overviews and tutorials to create various types of sounds.

Why You Need FabFilter One

FabFilter One was created to offer musicians, producers, and sound designers a high-quality, easy-to-use synthesizer that provides the warmth and character of classic analog synthesis. With a focus on simplicity and ease of use, the product aims to deliver professional-grade sound with a streamlined interface. The goal was to provide a tool that both beginners and experienced users could rely on for creating rich, expressive sounds, such as deep basslines, soaring leads, and lush pads, all while maintaining a low CPU footprint and providing cross-platform compatibility.

Who This is For

The target market for FabFilter One includes electronic music producers, synth enthusiasts, sound designers, live performers, and music educators and students. It appeals to electronic music producers seeking authentic analog-style tones for classic synth leads, deep bass, and atmospheric pads. Sound designers can use it to create expressive, character-rich tones for various applications, including music, film, and game audio. Its ease of use makes it a perfect tool for beginners, while its professional-grade sound quality also satisfies experienced users. Additionally, its responsive features make it suitable for live performers who need dynamic control over their sounds.

What This Package Competes With

FabFilter One competes with several other synthesizers, including TAL-BassLine-101, Arturia Mini V, and Brainworx bx_subsynth. Compared to these, FabFilter One stands out due to its simplicity and sound quality. The TAL-BassLine-101, priced at $100, provides an authentic Roland SH-101 sound but lacks the filter flexibility and modulation options of FabFilter One. Arturia Mini V offers an expanded feature set and classic Minimoog emulation, but it is heavier on CPU usage and more complex, which can make it less accessible for users seeking a more streamlined workflow. The Brainworx bx_subsynth, while ideal for enhancing bass frequencies, lacks the comprehensive synthesis features found in FabFilter One. Ultimately, FabFilter One excels with its combination of high-quality sound, intuitive interface, and low CPU usage, making it a versatile and efficient option for a wide range of users.
