FabFilter has announced the availability of the latest version of its award-winning filter plugin.
Volcano 3 sees the introduction of a completely reimagined interface, a raft of new vintage-style filter shapes, per-filter saturation control, full visualization of modulation sources and targets, and much more.
With its smooth workflow, no-limits flexibility, and dazzlingly authentic analog sound, it’s the first-call plugin for creative filtering.
Nothing beats a vintage sounding, gritty and creamy cut-off filter. That’s exactly what FabFilter Volcano has been known for since its first release in 2005. Today, Volcano 3 continues to deliver the best in creative filtering with new non-linear filter shapes and a completely redesigned interface that is an absolute delight to work with.
