Quick start
The installer will copy the FabFilter Volcano 2 plug-in into the common VST, VST 3, AU (OS X only) and Pro Tools plug-in folders on your computer. On Mac OS X, the global plug-in folders in /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins are used.
In most cases, your host will then recognize the plugin automatically. However, if the instructions below do not work, see Manual installation instead.
- Cubase
Choose an empty insert slot, for example in the Mixer, and select FabFilter Volcano 2 from the menu that appears. To use the MIDI features in Volcano 2, create a new MIDI track and set its output to the Volcano 2 instance you have just created. (The VST 3 version of Volcano 2 can be found in the Filter section.)
- Logic Pro
Choose an empty insert slot on one of your audio tracks, instrument
tracks or buses and select FabFilter Volcano 2 from the pop-up menu.
You will find FabFilter Volcano 2 in the Audio Units -> FabFilter section (named FF Volcano 2).
- Ableton Live
In Session view, select the track you would like to place FabFilter Volcano 2 on, for example by clicking the track name. At the left top of Ableton Live's interface, click on the Plug-in Device Browser icon (third icon from the top). From the plug-ins list, double-click FabFilter/FabFilter Volcano 2, or drag it onto the track.
- Pro Tools
Choose an empty insert slot on one of your audio tracks, instrument
tracks or buses and select FabFilter Volcano 2 from the pop-up menu in the Effect section.
Use the Presets button to try different settings from the many factory presets that are bundled with FabFilter Volcano 2. Have fun!
