FabFilter Volcano 2 (Mono) is a VST audio plugin from FabFilter, a leading Dutch plugin vendor. Volcano 2 is a morphing filter effect that offers extreme sound design capabilities through wavetable morphing, real-time parameter automation, and resonance control—widely used in electronic music production, sound design, and audio post-production. The plugin integrates into digital audio workstations (DAWs) via the VST standard and requires the host DAW itself to be native for optimal performance. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionFabFilter has shipped native Apple Silicon builds of Volcano 2 and their entire plugin lineup since the early 2020s. To upgrade from the Intel VST to the native version, download and run the latest FabFilter installer from the FabFilter website, or use FabFilter's License Manager to rescan your plugins—it will automatically detect and install the native build alongside the Intel version if you have both your DAW and the plugin installer current. You may also need to run your DAW's plugin scanner to register the native VST in its plugin cache. Once installed, your host DAW (whether that is Ableton, Logic, Reaper, Studio One, Cubase or another VST-compatible application) must also be on a native build for the native plugin to run natively—if your DAW is still Intel-only under Rosetta, the plugin will still run under emulation. Check your DAW's own native Apple Silicon status and update it if needed. After both are native, you will see improved CPU efficiency and lower latency during real-time audio processing.
