FabFilter One

The FabFilter One synth by FabFilter is an award-winning product that has received top ratings by users. With a carefully designed cut-off filter, it boasts of the fattest and smoothest self-oscillating digital filter on the market. It carries the character and warmth of classic analog synthesizers, ensuring raw but pleasingly non-digital sounds, even at full resonance.

The filter is complemented by a high-quality solid-sounding oscillator, developed from scratch to be completely aliasing-free. The oscillator features sawtooth, triangle, and square waveforms with pulse width modulation. Both the oscillator and the filter can be modulated by the LFO and the EG, providing endless possibilities to tweak and personalize your sound.

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. It also includes an additional Hold setting that extends the time keys are held down.

For those seeking more sound design options, FabFilter also offers the FabFilter Twin 2, which includes all the XLFOs, envelope generators, envelope followers and MIDI sources you will ever need, allowing for endless modulation possibilities.

FabFilter One excels at 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 more lively 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.
