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!
