Description

Compatible with AUv3 host apps such as GarageBand, Auria, AUM, Cubasis and n-Track Pro.

Nothing beats a vintage sounding, gritty and creamy cut-off filter. That's exactly what FabFilter Volcano has been known for since its first release in 2005. Today, Volcano 3 delivers the best in creative filtering with a completely redesigned innovative interface that is an absolute delight to work with.

The Volcano 3 app filters the microphone input and plays it back in real-time. To use Volcano 3 as a plug-in, you need an AUv3-compatible host app like Auria, AUM or Cubasis. Volcano 3 will appear in the list of Audio Unit extensions for effect plug-ins in the host app.

Key features:

- Fully redesigned, highly simplified interface, with an easy workflow and new modulation engine
- Up to four non-linear, vintage-sounding filters with low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, bell, shelf, notch and all-pass shapes
- Frequency panning to vary the filter frequency per channel
- Intuitive filter display lets you easily create and tweak filters
- Very flexible routing options to set all combinations of serial and parallel filtering
- L/R and M/S routing options for per-channel filtering
- Drive, delay, and output level/panning settings per filter
- High Quality option enabling maximum internal oversampling
- Piano display
- Endless modulation options, with all the 16-step XLFOs, XY controllers/sliders, envelope generators, envelope followers, and MIDI sources you will ever need
- Easy drag-and-drop modulation with 50-slot modulation matrix
- Live modulation visualization for targets and sources
- Curve control in EGs and transient detection in EFs
- Carefully designed and curated factory presets, plus the ability to save your own presets
- External side-chain triggering
- Optional MIDI triggering
- Undo/redo and A/B comparison

"With a stonking sound and incredible flexibility, Volcano is a must for anyone seeking a characterful all-in-one filter solution"

"The combination of a powerful sound and ease-of-use makes Volcano unique."

What’s New

Version 3.05

- Added Show Source Flow option, available via the Add Source '+' button menu.
- Added Auto-Collapse Sources option, available via the Add Source '+' button menu. When enabled, expanding one source interface will automatically collapse the others (the default behavior). When disabled, multiple source interfaces can be expanded at the same time.
- Added Export Preset Folder command to the preset options menu that enables you to export the entire preset folder, so you can load these presets on Mac or Windows.
- Fixed a bug that could cause possible clicks or noise when modulating filter peak values around zero.
- Fixed issue where text entry for the peak value in the parameter value display would change frequency when piano display was enabled.
- Fixed an issue in the mono version of the plug-in where filters that were removed in the interface could still remain in effect.
- Minor fixes and improvements.

The best keeps on truckin!

Finally, I can delete Auria as this is now an AU! As always, you’re getting professional sound in a great-looking package. Timeless 3 was crammed with a lot of new features and tiny buttons, but here the simplicity with no clutter gets them back on track (Timeless 3 is of course forgiven since it’s the best delay ever, especially taking into account these were designed with a desktop in mind).

The drive knob is an excellent new feature. If you need any further convincing, go watch Dan Worrall’s YouTube vid on Volcano 3. Wild stuff can be done, and much more easily than you might think.
