Our friends over at FabFilter have announced free updates for all their plug ins adding Retina and High DPI support together in addition to several bug fixes and improvements across all plug-in formats.  

The updated plug-ins are fully compatible with previous versions and are free for existing FabFilter customers.  If you have not yet tried FabFilter plug ins then don't forget they offer 30 day trial periods.  So what is included in the updates?

• Added Retina support on OS X and High DPI support on Windows (at 150% and 200% scaling) for all plug-ins.

• All Audio Unit plug-ins are now sandbox-safe, so they can be used in sandboxed DAWs.

• All plug-ins can now operate at any sample rate, without a maximum. This fixes possible issues when running the plug-ins in Pyramix at sample rates of 384 kHz and higher. Furthermore, there's no limit to the oversampled internal sample rate any more in Pro plug-ins.

• For all Pro plug-ins, improved Avid control surface page tables, now including support for the S6 range.

• Fixed an issue with keyboard handling in Pro Tools 12.2 or higher (e.g. Alt-clicking on a filter in Pro-Q 2 would cause the frequency to jump).

• Fixed possible crashes when using the plug-ins in Final Cut Pro X (with the Background Render option enabled).

• All dynamics plug-ins now report gain change to Pro Tools (and Avid control surfaces) and Studio One.

• In Pro Tools mini track view, Pro plug-ins will now show their distinctive letter (like Q, C, or L) instead of P.

• Further optimized RAM usage in most plug-ins.

• Fixed audible artefacts (sound shortly shifting to the left) when changing a plug-in (like Pro-Q 2) from Left/Right to Mid/Side processing mode.

• Small bug fixes and improvements.

• Pro-Q 2: Fixed possible audio drop-outs for specific Notch settings in Linear Phase mode or when using Auto Gain.

• All Pro plug-ins: Fixed an issue in the AAX plug-ins when using them as 'Default EQ' or 'Default Dynamics' in Pro Tools on a stereo track (creating a multi-mono version instead of stereo).

• Saturn: Added intelligent noise gating that attenuates/removes possible analog noise when the input is (nearly) silent.

• Pro-C 2: Fixed possible audible spikes when changing compression styles.

• Pro-C 2: When Auto Release is enabled, the release knob now shows its values in a percentage range instead of milliseconds.

• Pro-L: Added Full Screen mode, new Medium and Large interface sizes and custom resizing (VST3 only).

• Pro-L: Fixed a small bug where dragging the gain slider while toggling the Alt key would result in incorrect linked values for the Output Level.

• Pro-L: Improved readability of the output level and gain reduction read-outs above the meters.

• Pro-L: Reduced processing latency.

• Pro-L and Pro-G: Improved resolution of the real-time level display.

• Pro-G: Added circular side-chain input level meter around the Threshold knob.

• Pro-MB: Fixed a crash when automating the Audition Side Chain parameter.

• Pro-DS and Pro-MB: Fixed a small bug that caused the parameter value display to show 'Mid-only' even when the Stereo Link mode was set to 'Side-only'.
