What's New in FabFilter Volcano 3

3.05

December 20, 2023

- Added Show Source Flow option, available via the Add Source '+' button menu. - Added Auto-Collapse Sources option, available via the Add Source '+' button menu. When enabled, expanding one source interface will automatically collapse the others (the default behavior). When disabled, multiple source interfaces can be expanded at the same time. - Added Export Preset Folder command to the preset options menu that enables you to export the entire preset folder, so you can load these presets on Mac or Windows. - Fixed a bug that could cause possible clicks or noise when modulating filter peak values around zero. - Fixed issue where text entry for the peak value in the parameter value display would change frequency when piano display was enabled. - Fixed an issue in the mono version of the plug-in where filters that were removed in the interface could still remain in effect. - Minor fixes and improvements.

Poor interfcae, parts unusable

Great filter plugin for desktop …but on iOS almost impossible to use fully because of the poorly adapted interface. For example…i just wasted half hour trying to select the Sustain in the Envelope. With fingers it is basically impossible.

I'm too poor to buy cheap plugins

Once again I tried to save some money and bought a cheaper filter - the results and midi implementation meant I had to buy the real thing.. Fabfilter are in the same class as SSL on desktop.
I'm now a convert. Anything else is a compromise.

Greatest of 2021

Insert all the superlatives here. It’s that good.

Superb effects, and bargain in the bundle

Not only do Fab Filters make absolutely superb FX (and other) plug-ins, they also reward previous customers with generous discounts, and understand the state of the global economy. Because I had already bought Timeless and Staturn, I was able to get Volcano to complete my ‘creative bundle’ for an absolute bargain price. Much appreciated.

The best keeps on truckin!

Finally, I can delete Auria as this is now an AU! As always, you’re getting professional sound in a great-looking package. Timeless 3 was crammed with a lot of new features and tiny buttons, but here the simplicity with no clutter gets them back on track (Timeless 3 is of course forgiven since it’s the best delay ever, especially taking into account these were designed with a desktop in mind).

The drive knob is an excellent new feature. If you need any further convincing, go watch Dan Worrall’s YouTube vid on Volcano 3. Wild stuff can be done, and much more easily than you might think.
