FabFilter Micro is a simple low-pass filter plugin built for fast sweeps, quick tone shaping, and clean transitions without distractions. It is the kind of tool you throw on a loop, sample, synth, or full beat when you want a smooth cutoff move, a muffled intro, or a quick build-up effect. Micro keeps things minimal with one main filter control and a great-sounding resonant character, which is why producers like it for speed. FabFilter Micro is also included in the FabFilter Total Bundle.
