PRESS RELEASE
FabFilter Releases FabFilter Twin 1.10 Update With New Features
March 02, 2006
FabFilter has released FabFilter Twin version 1.10, which contains the following new features and bug fixes:
- Implemented new optimizations that especially work well with unison
voices. CPU usage has now been reduced by more than 50% when using a high
number of unison voices
- Added a floating parameter value display to the interface for all knobs
- Added an optional filter display view, in which the filter curves can be
dragged separately or together. Using Ctrl-click or Shift-click, slope and
responses can be set directly in the filter display. Use the small toggle
button in the lower-left corner of the filter area to toggle between the
filter display view and the normal knobs view
- Added three new filter characteristics, especially designed for FabFilter
Twin
- Added the possibility to drag a modulation slot and move it to another
place in the modulation matrix. This works even between slot banks and
enables you to keep the modulation matrix organized
- Added support for viewing modulation connections for a specific target, in
addition to the existing possibility to show the connections for a specific
modulation source. Connections for a source or target can now be shown by
double-clicking a source icon or a target knob
- Modulation source icons of sources that are currently in use, are now
highlighted. This is very useful when browsing presets, for example. You can
immediately see whether a preset uses the mod wheel, velocity, aftertouch,
or other modulation sources
- Changed the slot bank select button into three separate A, B and C slot
bank buttons, which makes switching banks easier and faster. The slot bank
buttons will appear dimmed if a slot bank does not contain any active slots
- Added (vertical) Shift-drag fine-tune behavior to knobs, in addition to
the current circular fine-tune mode
- Increased the maximum number of voices to 32
- Increased the maximum unison frequency detune to 5 times the previous
maximum, which makes unison sound much better when using a high number of
unison voices
- Added a portamento mode switch for choosing either normal or
fingered/legato portamento and increased the maximum portamento time to 5
seconds
- Added ASIO support to the Windows stand-alone version
- Slightly increased interface contrast
- Fixed some bugs concerning LFO sync, slots being marked as 'invalid' when
this was not the case at all, license validation failing on the Receptor and
problems with the 'next/previous preset' button when using the plug-in in
Cubase
This update is free for existing FabFilter Twin users. If you have not
bought FabFilter Twin yet, version 1.10 grants you a new evaluation period
to be able to try the new features.
