FabFilter Micro is a lightweight effects plug-in from FabFilter that provides a single analog-style filter with low-pass and high-pass modes. It is available in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats.
FabFilter Micro takes the filter from FabFilter One and packages it as a single, compact effect. The filter has low-pass and high-pass shapes, and a modern interface with a large interactive filter display lets you shape its response directly. Input and output gain controls govern how hard the filter saturates, so the plug-in can handle basic filtering as well as more aggressive distortion. It is offered in stereo and mono versions, with a free trial available.
The filter is described as smooth and creamy at its default settings. Turning it up on the interactive filter display moves it toward raw saturation and self-oscillation.
The Input Gain and Output Gain parameters are the main tools for saturation. Input Gain pushes the signal into the internal filter, while Output Gain sets the level leaving it. Together they let you move between clean filtering and distorted, analog-style tones.
An envelope follower can modulate the cut-off frequency, so the filter responds to the dynamics of the incoming audio. This is useful for movement that tracks the input rather than running on a fixed rhythm.
MIDI Learn lets you assign hardware controllers to parameters. Smart Parameter Interpolation smooths parameter changes, and sample-accurate automation keeps timing precise. Undo and redo are included, along with a full help file that has interactive hints.
Factory presets are included to get started quickly.
