In its initial static form, it is simple to build up EQs and surgical filters with as much range as any dedicated product, but the real magic of Volcano is that each of the four filters can be moved in any way and in any direction, even time. The multiplier effect of these styles on the eight filter shapes presents the user with an exhaustive set of origin points, and it requires no great effort to conjure up deeply satisfying sounds and creative tools in spite of the potential for choice overload. The eleven filter styles set the character of the non-linearities (saturation) and peak/resonance, with a wide range from clean and smooth to raw and extreme.įor more hot-tempered styles, engage the Auto Mute Self-Osc button to keep your ears from bleeding. In expanding the Volcano, FabFilter has made inclusions such as this that enable subtlety as well as bolder, more outlandish manipulations. A 6dB/oct slope option has been added, which is welcome particularly for gentle shelving work. The updated Volcano 3 augments the traditional triumvirate of low, high and band pass filters with bell, low/high shelving, notch and all-pass shapes, which is a substantial upgrade. The myriad ways in which the modulation section can manipulate the filter controls point to near limitless sonic options, from funky envelope filtering to mangled chaos. The preset library is well-stocked with solid starting points, more developed processing approaches and a healthy dose of experimentations to showcase some of the creative potential on offer.

Below this are the main filter controls followed by the user-configurable modulation section.
