n chapter in the FabFilter Volcano help file.

* What's new in FabFilter Volcano 2.23?

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.


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.

Changing parameters via the mouse wheel will now correctly record automation andgenerate proper undo states. In addition, you can now also control switches with the mouse wheel.

In the presets menu, changed the Options > View Program/Bank Numbers command toEnable MIDI Program Changes, which now actually enables/disables MIDI program changes as well as showing the program/band number for presets. 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 OS X that could cause Help Hints to pop up even if the mouse cursor was outside the plug-in interface.

Fixed a bug on Windows that could cause a system sound to be played when pressing Enter after typing a parameter value directly.


2/5

Fixed bug in the VST3 plug-in that caused side-chain audition not to work if themain input was silent.

Various small bug fixes and improvements.


Fixed incorrect MIDI message handling in the AAX plug-in on Mac OS X: this couldcause unexpected parameter changes when starting/stopping playback in Pro Tools.

Added a workaround in the Mac OS X VST plug-in to ensure resizing works correctly in Ableton Live 8.

Added a workaround in the VST 2 plug-in to ensure preset changes and parameter changes are correctly saved in Maschine by Native Instruments.

Fixed possible crash when removing the VST 2 or VST 3 plug-in on Mac OS X whilethe interface is open, for example in Studio One.

Fixed white flash and some other graphical glitches when resizing the plug-in interface on Mac OS X (all plug-in formats).

Fixed bug that could cause the interface not to appear at all in some hosts on Mac OS X, for example Triumph.

Minor improvements and bug fixes on both Windows and Mac OS X.


Added Modulation button to easily show and hide the modulation section. By default, the modulation section is hidden to make the plug-in less intimidating at first, but you can easily look 'under the hood' when you want to tweak a preset ordesign your own.

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 stylebuttons.

Added Options > Open Other Preset option to the presets menu, making it easy toopen a preset that's not in the regular presets folder.

Updated the VST 3 plug-in to support new features in VST 3.5, such as a host-provided right-click menu for each parameter in the interface.

Fixed compatibility issues with Adobe Premiere on Windows and OS X.

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 atthe bottom to be disabled.

Fixed a bug in the mono VST 3 plug-in that could cause it to work with an internal sample rate of 44.1 kHz even if the session sample rate was different.


3/5

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 anincorrect size upon loading a saved session in e.g. Ableton Live.

The Mac OS X version now requires OS X 10.5 and an Intel processor. We still offer the previous version for download if you need OS X 10.4 or PowerPC support: www.fabfilter.com/support/downloads.


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.


Fixed a bug that caused the stereo RTAS version of the plug-in to output a monosignal.


Added new AAX plug-in format for Pro Tools 10. The AAX plug-in is 100% compatible with the RTAS plug-in: Pro Tools 10 will automatically use our new AAX plug-ins instead of the existing RTAS plug-ins when loading existing sessions.

In the AU and VST3 plug-in formats, parameters are now grouped where possible tomake 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.


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

Added a Deauthorize option to the plug-in's Help menu, which makes it easy to delete your license key from a computer if needed.


Added the new modulation system from Twin 2 and Timeless 2, making it easier toset up and visualize modulation connections.

Added a new optional "wide" interface layout to provide more space for the modulation sources at the bottom of the interface.

Added new XY sources that enable you to easily tweak other parameters in combination.


4/5

Added new Phase Offset and Snap parameters to the XLFOs.

Added new Delay and Hold parameters to the EG sources, and added a visual controller to make them easier to use.

Added a new Response Curve parameter to the MIDI modulation sources.

The plug-in is now Unicode-aware and correctly handles international characterson both Windows and Mac OS X, 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 andsupporting double-click text entry.

Fixed incorrect redrawing in the plug-in interface that could occur in some cases in Pro Tools on Mac, for example when selecting from the ProTools-provided presets menu in the plug-in header.

Fixed bug that caused the help file to open only in the first instance of the plug-in.


Fixed various bugs that could cause modulation slots to be ignored when producing audio, in certain circumstances.

When typing parameter values in Reaper on Windows, the Enter key now correctly closes the edit field.


Added native 64-bit VST 2/3 and Audio Units plug-ins for Windows and Mac OS X.

Added text editing for parameters: just double-click on a knob to edit the param

eter value directly. See Knobs in the Using FabFilter Volcano 2 chapter of the help file for more information.

Implemented soft bypass feature in the Audio Units, VST 3 and RTAS plug-in versions.

Fixed a bug that prevented the automation menu in Pro Tools from recognizing thecorrect position of the knobs in the interface.


The envelope generators now trigger correctly on the external side chain signal.

The VST 3 plug-in is now compatible with Cubase 5 and also features a bypass parameter and improved MIDI support, including MIDI Learn.

Improved automation of linked controls, such as filter frequency/peak parameters.

Minor bug fixes and interface improvements.


5/5


Now supporting mono-to-stereo mode for the Audio Unit version.

Fixed a bug that could cause incorrect channel handling of the audio unit plug-in in MOTU Digital Performer 6.
