If those places aren’t to your liking, the Undo feature is there to bring you home. This may seem like more complications on top of the 8x11x4 filter choice, but in practice it is very simple to set up and switch mid-flight, which can lead to some unexpected places.
FABFILTER VOLCANO REVIEW SERIAL
For example, this can consist of two parallel filters (left and right, or mid and side) feeding two serial stereo/mid-side filters. The base architecture of the Volcano 3 consists of eight possible arrangements of the four filters in either serial or parallel. Now add to this the fact that each filter can not only be panned, but that its centre frequency can be offset across the stereo field or between mid and side in m/s routings, and it is easy to see the floodgates open to all manner of stereo width and auto-pan effects. Modulating the filter delay(s) allows chorus and flanger effects to be developed, as well as rhythmic pitch slurs when hooked up to an envelope generator. The filter delay function provides up to 50ms delay which can be used for combing and Haas effects when altering on parallel filters and in wet/dry mixes. 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.

Version 2 users will be familiar enough to get to work immediately, but those new to Volcano will not need to reach for the manual immediately – although it is needed for deeper dives. It’s an accessible and inviting space of movement and colour, but never overbearing or garish, which is lucky as it is one of those plug-ins you can spend a long time tweaking.

The perimeter of the interface hosts the more mundane essentials such as preset management, undo/redo (a must for the inevitable “I swear I had it perfect just now” moments), output/mix, MIDI Learn, full screen mode and processing quality (oversampling). Below this are the main filter controls followed by the user-configurable modulation section. The refreshed UI design combines a real-time spectrum analyser display and filter shape overlays with editable nodes for four filters.

FABFILTER VOLCANO REVIEW UPDATE
FabFilter’s recent update of its Timeless delay was notably impressive, so expectations are high for this third iteration of its Volcano filter plug-in, which is already considered to be an established class act.
