FabFilter announces the availability of FabFilter Pro-R, a high-end algorithmic reverb plug-in with musical controls and a very natural sound. Its advanced algorithms have been carefully designed to blend well with the source and fit easily into a mix. FabFilter Pro-R is bursting with innovations like the intuitive space control that seamlessly switches between dozens of room models with automatic decay time adjustment, and the industry-first decay rate EQ concept that introduces free adjustment of the decay time over the frequency spectrum. Together with the built-in post EQ and an abundance of high-quality factory presets, FabFilter Pro-R delivers pristine sound quality and maximum ease of use.

FabFilter Pro-R takes a musical approach to reverb, offering user-friendly, non-technical controls like brightness, character, distance, and stereo width to tweak the reverb sound. The stepless space control lets the user fade between dozens of different, carefully-tuned room models, and automatically chooses a matching decay time for a natural-sounding result. Behind the scenes, each of these settings influences the internal algorithms in multiple ways to deliver exactly what was intended -- without requiring a degree in reverb science.

The decay time of a real room often varies wildly over the frequency spectrum, which is one of the key ingredients of a room's reverb character. To simulate this, the industry-first decay rate EQ concept in FabFilter Pro-R offers completely free adjustment of the decay time over the frequency spectrum. Since it uses parametric EQ bands instead of a traditional crossover system, it provides much more flexibility to shape the decay time characteristics. Together with the integrated six-band post EQ, designing reverbs of any character has never been easier.

Key features:
* Beautifully designed room models, ranging from small ambiences and rooms to large concert halls and huge cathedrals.
* Carefully developed to easily sit in the mix, without causing undesirable coloration, density, or phase problems.
* Gorgeous retina interface with large interactive reverb display featuring decay rate EQ and post EQ curves.
* Very easy to set up, with user-friendly, non-technical controls.
* Space control, which smartly and smoothly combines the room model and decay time of the reverb -- choose from over a dozen carefully designed room models and seamlessly vary between them, without hearing clicks or unwanted artifacts.
* Decay rate control, changing the overall decay time from 50% to 200% of the current space setting.
* Intelligent stereo width control, ranging from pure mono to true stereo and beyond.
* Distance control to adjust the proximity to the sound source in the selected space.
* Character control that changes the sound from a clean, transparent decay to a lively reverb with pronounced reflections and echoes -- all the way to an over-modulated chorus-like effect.
* Perfectly tuned brightness control, affecting not only brightness, but also the decay of high frequencies.
* Predelay control via the bottom bar, ranging from 0ms to 500ms, with optional tempo sync.
* Innovative six-band decay rate EQ with low/high shelf, bell, and notch filters. (Compared to the commonly used low- and high-crossover system, the decay rate EQ opens up a world of possibilities by giving users full control over the decay rate at different frequencies.)
* Six-band post EQ to equalize the final reverb sound with low/high cut up to 96dB/oct, low/high shelf, and bell filters. (Together with the decay rate EQ, this lets users design reverbs of any style or character.)
* Real-time spectrum analyzer that also visualizes the decay time at different frequencies.
* Full-screen mode, offering a large analyzer display and decay rate EQ and post EQ controller.
* Multiple interface sizes: medium, large, and extra large.
* Retina support on OS X and high DPI support on Windows.
* GPU-powered graphics acceleration.
* Supports common Pro Tools hardware control surfaces.
