Excellent precision with smooth knobs and filter sweeps. Only thing I have to say negative is that this GUI isn't any where near as pretty as the others FabFilter offers. Other things to note is that FabFilter makes some of the best Plugin filters I have ever heard. Not enough plugins have these and they are indispensable in almost every situation. What I like most about this plugin is the standard Fab Filter Undo/Redo buttons. I have been using this plugin sparingly for about 5 months. I could see using it for performance remixing kinda stuff as well, but have yet to do that. It can be a nice effect on drums and overall mixes for remixing. In contrast to the Micro, this one allows you to create some interesting Filter Behavior but personally I don't use it that much. I do feel however it can get just a little harsh in high frequencies, but I am slightly biased by owning some Moog Filter Hardware. Very clean and accurate and especially smooth. They both sound fantastic in regards to digital Filters. I'm pretty sure that the Simplon is just two micros in the same plugin. In all honesty I use FabFilters Micro Filter much more. The Simplon has never demonstrated any strange behavior whatsoever. You get a Low pass, High pass and Band Pass with options to select the Filter "Slope" and "Character." All functions are easily accessed via the front face. The general configuration is simple enough to understand after a minute or two if you are familiar with Filters. This basically a simple filter plugin that gives you control of two filters on the same channel. This plugin runs perfectly fine on a Mac Pro Duo running Snow Leopard and Logic 9.
