The groups are arranged by category: Basic, Complex, Modulation, Sequenced, FX and MIDI Triggered, plus a big folder of “greatest hits” V2 presets. Volcano 3 comes with a huge collection of new, well-designed presets organized into groups. V3 is more visual than ever, with modulation visualization by way of a “source flow” area that depicts which modulators are connected and affecting which filters.Īt the top of the GUI are the undo/redo and A|B buttons, a Help drop-down menu, a new full-screen button and a preset manager. There is an added gentle 6dB/ octave shape and a new Drive control for introducing non-linearity, i.e., internal saturation to any individual filter.Ī new High Quality button for internal oversampling has been added, and there is a redesigned envelope generator, a new transient mode for the envelope follower, and up to six X/Y controllers/sliders with adjustable operating ranges. It seems as if they’ve kept it more musical, with frequencies related to a (selectable) piano keyboard graphic directly below the filter display.īesides the original highpass, lowpass and bandpass filters, V3 adds vintage-sounding EQ filter shapes, including bell, low and high shelves, notch, and an all-pass filter. I liked that the typical EQ/filter specifications are not used in the controls in Volcano 3. The filter display shows the resultant curve using a thick yellow line depicting the combined response created by up to four filters. Users of other FabFilter plug-ins will be right at home with the large, central control knob and the semi-transparent, high-resolution spectrum analyzer. Presets saved in earlier versions will still work- they’re saved in a separate V2 preset folder- although they may sound slightly different because of Volcano 3’s improvements. Under the hood, the sound quality of the algorithms has been upgraded, and the interface has been simplified for programming up to its four analog-modeled, self-oscillating filters. Its efficient layout and the notable amenities are common throughout the entire FabFilter plug-in line. Veteran users will immediately notice the all-new interface and its gorgeous, lava-colored look. Since its introduction in 2005, FabFilter’s Volcano creative programmable filter has evolved and now been reimagined so as to be nearly unrecognizable from its beginnings as a vintage-sounding cutoff filter.
