FabFilter Pro-C Changelog

What's new in FabFilter Pro-C 1.23

Jul 15, 2013
  • Fixed a bug that could cause typed parameter values to be rounded incorrectly, e.g. when double-clicking a knob to enter a time value.
  • Fixed a bug in the AAX plug-ins: after deactivating a bypassed plug-in in Pro Tools, the state of the bypass parameter would not be restored correctly on reactivation.

New in FabFilter Pro-C 1.22 (Jun 22, 2013)

  • Now includes 64-bit AAX plug-in for Pro Tools 11. The 32-bit AAX plug-in has also been updated to the latest AAX v2 format and requires Pro Tools 10.3.5 or later.
  • Changing parameters via the mouse wheel will now correctly record automation and generate proper undo states. In addition, you can now also control switches with the mouse wheel.
  • In the presets menu, changed the Options > View Program/Bank Numbers command to Enable MIDI Program Changes, which now actually enables/disables MIDI program changes as well as showing the program/band number for presets. This ensures that the plug-in only responds to MIDI program changes when this is desired.
  • Fixed a bug that could prevent sample-accurate processing of recorded MIDI control change messages.
  • Fixed a bug on OS X that could cause Help Hints to pop up even if the mouse cursor was outside the plug-in interface.
  • Fixed a bug on Windows that could cause a system sound to be played when pressing Enter after typing a parameter value directly.
  • Fixed bug in the VST3 plug-in that caused side-chain audition not to work if the main input was silent.
  • Various small bug fixes and improvements.

New in FabFilter Pro-C 1.21 (Jun 22, 2013)

  • Fixed incorrect MIDI message handling in the AAX plug-in on Mac OS X: this could cause unexpected parameter changes when starting/stopping playback in Pro Tools.
  • Added a workaround in the VST 2 plug-in to ensure preset changes and parameter changes are correctly saved in Maschine by Native Instruments.
  • Fixed possible crash when removing the VST 2 or VST 3 plug-in on Mac OS X while the interface is open, for example in Studio One.
  • Fixed bug that could cause the interface not to appear at all in some hosts on Mac OS X, for example Triumph.
  • Minor improvements and bug fixes on Windows.

New in FabFilter Pro-C 1.20 (Jun 22, 2013)

  • Added new GPU-powered graphics acceleration, ensuring ultra-smooth animation while leaving the main CPU free to do audio processing.
  • Added mouse wheel support to buttons with pop-up menus, such as the compression style button.
  • Added Options > Open Other Preset option to the presets menu, making it easy to open a preset that's not in the regular presets folder.
  • Updated the VST 3 plug-in to support new features in VST 3.5, such as a host-provided right-click menu for each parameter in the interface.
  • Fixed compatibility issues with Adobe Premiere on Windows.
  • Fixed a bug on Windows that caused factory preset installation to fail if your user name contains special characters.
  • Fixed a bug in the mono AudioSuite plug-in that caused the Whole File option at the bottom to be disabled.
  • Fixed a bug in the VST 3 plug-in that could cause it to work with an internal sample rate of 44.1 kHz even if the session sample rate was different.
  • Fixed incorrect interpretation of parameter values that are typed in the host (e.g. for automation points) in the VST 2 and VST 3 plug-ins.

New in FabFilter Pro-C 1.16 (Dec 2, 2011)

  • Added new AAX plug-in format for Pro Tools 10. The AAX plug-in is 100% compatible with the RTAS plug-in: Pro Tools 10 will automatically use our new AAX plug-ins instead of the existing RTAS plug-ins when loading existing sessions.
  • Added support for the most important Pro Tools hardware control surfaces, such as Avid ICON D-Control and D-Command.
  • It is now possible to double-click the low-pass and high-pass sidechain filtering buttons to enter parameter values directly.
  • Improved keyboard handling on Windows, fixing the "space key stealing" problem in Studio One and FL Studio.
  • Improved mouse handling behavior in Pro Tools when Cmd+Ctrl / Ctrl+Win -clicking a control to show the automation timeline.

New in FabFilter Pro-C 1.15 (Dec 2, 2011)

  • It's now possible to enter positive values in the parameter value display for the Threshold knob, so for example, typing "12" will also result in "-12 dB".
  • Improved the way parameter values with custom ranges and transforms are shown by Audio Unit hosts and Pro Tools (e.g. for automation purposes).
  • In addition to the RTAS format, the plug-in is now also available in the AudioSuite format for Pro Tools.
  • Added a Deauthorize option to the plug-in's Help menu, which makes it easy to delete your license key from a computer if needed.
  • The plug-in is now Unicode-aware and correctly handles international characters on both Windows and Mac OS X, for example in preset folders and file names.
  • Fixed bug that caused the help file to open only in the first instance of the plug-in.
  • Fixed incorrect redrawing in the plug-in interface that could occur in some cases in Pro Tools on Mac, for example when selecting from the Pro Tools-provided presets menu in the plug-in header.
