What's new in FabFilter Volcano 2 2.31

Jun 18, 2020
  • Fixed an issue with text entry for parameters on macOS Catalina.
  • Fixed occasional crashes on macOS when loading projects in some DAWs (e.g. Logic Pro), related to having PACE-protected third-party plug-ins in the same session.
  • Fixed occasional crashes in Bitwig on macOS, when opening sessions that contain FabFilter VST3 plug-ins with side chain support.
  • Fixed interface scaling issues on macOS 10.14 and higher, when dragging a plug-in interface between Retina and non-Retina monitors.

  • Minor bug fixes and improvements.

New in FabFilter Volcano 2 2.30 (Mar 19, 2020)

  • Fixed interface size issues in Cubase 10 when using 150% High DPI scaling on Windows.

New in FabFilter Volcano 2 2.29 (Mar 19, 2020)

  • Fixed a bug that caused entering frequency values by note name (e.g. "A4") to always result in the maximum frequency value, and potentially cause a crash as well.
  • Updated plug-in for full compatibility with Mac hosts built specifically for macOS 10.14 (Mojave), such as Logic Pro 10.4.4, running under macOS 10.14.0 or 10.14.1. Previously this could lead to an all-black plugin interface.

  • Added support for 300% scaling on 8K displays (High DPI) on Windows.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause incorrect scaling of the plug-in interface in Cubase 10 or Live 10 on High DPI displays in combination with certain graphics drivers on Windows.
  • Added a Refresh item to the Options submenu of the presets menu: this makes it possible to manually refresh the menu and any V1 Preset Folder submenu after a preset has been saved by an earlier plug-in version.
  • Fixed a bug on Mac that could cause program changes received by one plug-in to be forwarded to other FabFilter plug-in instances.
  • Various minor bug fixes and improvements.

New in FabFilter Volcano 2 2.28 (Mar 19, 2020)

  • Improved mouse wheel behavior on Windows with stepped parameters, e.g. on drop-down buttons.
  • Added a workaround for a bug in macOS Sierra (10.12) that prevented the help file from opening correctly. The help file is now displayed in a web browser rather than the Help Viewer.

  • Fixed a bug that could cause typed parameter values to be rounded incorrectly, e.g. when double-clicking a knob to enter a frequency value.
  • Fixed a bug in the AAX plug-ins: after deactivating a bypassed plug-in in Pro Tools, the state of the bypass parameter would not be restored correctly on reactivation.

New in FabFilter Volcano 2 2.22 (Jun 26, 2013)

  • Now includes 64-bit AAX plug-in for Pro Tools 11. The 32-bit AAX plug-in has also been updated to the latest AAX v2 format and requires Pro Tools 10.3.5 or later.

This ensures that the plug-in only responds to MIDI program changes when this is desired.
  • Fixed a bug that could prevent sample-accurate processing of recorded MIDI control change messages.
  • Fixed a bug on Windows that could cause a system sound to be played when pressing Enter after typing a parameter value directly.

  • Added new GPU-powered graphics acceleration, ensuring ultra-smooth animation while leaving the main CPU free to do audio processing.
  • Added mouse wheel support to buttons with pop-up menus, such as the filter style buttons.

  • Fixed compatibility issues with Adobe Premiere on Windows.
  • Fixed a bug on Windows that caused factory preset installation to fail if your user name contains special characters.
  • Fixed a bug in the mono AudioSuite plug-in that caused the Whole File option at the bottom to be disabled.

  • Fixed incorrect interpretation of parameter values that are typed in the host (e.g. for automation points) in the VST 2 and VST 3 plug-ins.
  • Fixed a bug in the VST 2 plug-in that could cause the interface to open with an incorrect size upon loading a saved session in e.g. Ableton Live.

New in FabFilter Volcano 2 2.14 (Dec 12, 2011)

  • Fixed possible resizing issues with the VST 2 plug-in in Cubase on Windows. In addition, added a workaround so resizing in Wavelab 6 now works as expected.

  • In the AU and VST3 plug-in formats, parameters are now grouped where possible to make automation easier to overview in the host.
  • Improved keyboard handling on Windows, fixing the "space key stealing" problem in Studio One and FL Studio.
  • Improved mouse handling behavior in Pro Tools when Cmd+Ctrl / Ctrl+Win -clicking a control to show the automation timeline.

New in FabFilter Volcano 2 2.11 (Dec 12, 2011)

  • Improved the way parameter values with custom ranges and transforms are shown by Audio Unit hosts and Pro Tools (e.g. for automation purposes).

  • The plug-in is now Unicode-aware and correctly handles international characters, for example in preset folders and file names.
  • Improved mouse wheel scrolling and editing behavior.
  • Improved input/output/mix buttons in the bottom bar: now rounding correctly and supporting double-click text entry.

  • Added native 64-bit VST 2/3 and Audio Units plug-ins.
  • Added text editing for parameters: just double-click on a knob to edit the parameter value directly. See Knobs in the Using FabFilter Volcano 2 chapter of the help file for more information.
