"The technology behind FabFilter's filter algorithm is impressive, and the six refined filter algorithms in Volcano are testament to the developers' eye for detail."
Computer Music (September 2005, p99)

"[FabFilter Volcano] shares the same to-the-point functionality [as FabFilter One], solid but simple concept and genuine analogue sound, and is a joy to use."
Future Music (FM167, p50)

FabFilter Volcano

FabFilter Volcano’s two independent multimode filters provide low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass responses with 12/24/48 dB/octave slopes. Any filter parameter can be modulated by the two LFOs and the MIDI/audio-triggerable EG.

Filter characteristics

Originally developed for FabFilter One, Volcano's filters were designed from the ground up to be the fattest and smoothest self-oscillating digital filters possible.

Each filter offers seven different filter characteristics that define the unique sound and overdrive of the filter. They range from smooth filters with moderate overdrive to raw, self-oscillating over-the-top madness!

In combination with the response and slope settings, FabFilter Volcano offers up to 63 different filter types.

Interactive filter display

Tweak the filters with Volcano's interactive filter display that shows both filter curves and lets you drag them around. You can adjust the filters separately or both at the same time.

The panning setting on both filters enables you to adjust the filter balance on the left and right audio channels, which creates stereo effects without phase problems.

The frequency, peak, and panning settings can be modulated in any way imaginable with the two MIDI triggered LFOs and the MIDI/Audio triggered envelope generator. The LFOs have triangle and square wave forms and can be synchronized to the host tempo in normal, dotted, or triplets mode.

Help hintsAlso, you get all the standard FabFilter goodies: perfectly fine-tuned knobs that work both in vertical and circular drag modes, interactive MIDI Learn, Smart Parameter Interpolation for smooth parameter transitions, over 100 great presets, extensive help file with interactive help hints, sample accurate automation for all parameters, AltiVec and SSE optimization, and much more.
