![]() use an XLFO to modulate an envelope generator). So not only can you modulate the filters with the modulation sources, modulation sources themselves can also be a target (i.e. Each of these modules has certain parameters (modulation targets) that can be changed by modulation. ![]() Volcano’s multi-mode filters, as well as each of the above modulation sources are called modules. MIDI source – a powerful modulation source if you want more control using a MIDI keyboard or MIDI control knobs.You can set the Attack and Release parameters to ‘smooth out the bumps’. The amplitude of the positive peaks of the input signal is measured and the outer shape (= envelope) is the output signal of the modulation source. Envelope Follower – outputs an envelope similar to the incoming signal.The envelope is set by the Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release parameters. Envelope Generator – generates an ADSR envelope when the input signal exceeds the threshold set by the Threshold knob.Steps can be freely added or deleted to shape the funkiest of wave forms. The display shows the wave form that is used by the XLFO. XLFO – like a classic LFO but it can do so much more! It can also be used as a 16 step sequencer with an individual glide parameter for every step.The following modulation sources are available: In this section it becomes clear that Volcano 2 can do a lot more than simple filtering. In the lower half of the screen you’ll find the modulation slots, and modulation sources & selection bar. The Mid/Side concept has its origin in stereo microphone techniques using two microphones (more about that here on Wikipedia) but also gives us many options to process a stereo audio signal. Each signal is sent through different filters (as in L/R mode) after which it is reconstructed into the normal left and right channels. Now the signal is split into a Mid and a Side channel using the sum and difference of the left and right channels. Serial, parallel, up-side down… whatever you like.Īccording to FabFilter, the Mid/Side (M/S) option is something never seen before in a filter plug-in: The filters can be routed in Stereo, L/R or M/S and each routing configuration has tons of routing possibilities. Clean, linear behavior with no clipping distortion at all.Easy Going, a softer version of the Tube filter.Metal, with a rough, sharper sound and distortion.Tube, with a warmer sound and nice overdrive, great for synth sounds.A drop down list allows you to select one of the 11 filter characteristics, including the four new ones introduced in Volcano 2: The bottom of the filter display shows the selected filter and its controls. The interactive filter display beautifully visualizes your filter settings and lets you adjust multiple filter parameters simultaneously. Looks beautiful to me!Īnyway, as with other FabFilter products I’ve worked with, the GUI is very clear and intuitive and FabFilter’s interactive help hints will get you on your way in no time.įabFilter Volcano 2 – Clear interface with helpful hints. With its various shades of red, and cone shaped filter slopes it’s actually not that hard to imagine a landscape of erupted volcanoes. The first time you open Volcano 2, you may find its many options a little intimidating. Just to name a few things… Getting started Innovative “what-you-use-is-what-you-see” interface, and interactive filter display.Extensive modulation options for XLFO, Envelope Generator, Envelope Follower and the MIDI source, and drag-and-drop modulation with the 24-slot modulation matrix. ![]()
