FabFilter Volcano 3

Brimming with Character and Vintage Excellence. FabFilter Volcano has been a paragon for vintage-style, grainy, and creamy cut-off filters since its first release in 2005.

Today, Volcano 3 continues this legacy of exemplary creative filtering with new non-linear filter shapes and a fully reimagined interface that enhances the user experience remarkably.

Non-Linear, Classic Filters

Volcano 3 features four analog-modeled filters with adaptable routing, each offering a multitude of filter shapes, including non-linear bell and shelf filters. Different filter styles provide saturation and self-oscillation at high peak settings, mirroring the characteristics of classic, vintage filters.

Simplified Drag-and-Drop Modulation

Equipped with an array of XLFOs, envelope generators, envelope followers, and MIDI sources, Volcano 3 offers boundless modulation possibilities. Establishing new modulation connections is made effortlessly simple with a drag-and-drop feature.

FabFilter Advantages

As expected, Volcano 3 includes the signature FabFilter benefits: perfectly calibrated controls, MIDI Learn, Smart Parameter Interpolation for smooth parameter transitions, extensive help with interactive help hints, and advanced NEON and SSE optimization.
