FabFilter Volcano 3 vs BLEASS Phase Mutant Usage & Stats

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 delivers the best in creative filtering with a completely redesigned innovative interface that is an absolute delight to work with. The Volcano 3 app filters the microphone input and plays it back in real-time. To use Volcano 3 as a plug-in, you need an AUv3-compatible host app like Auria, AUM or Cubasis. Volcano 3 will appear in the list of Audio Unit extensions for effect plug-ins in the host app. Key features: - Fully redesigned, highly simplified interface, with an easy workflow and new modulation engine - Up to four non-linear, vintage-sounding filters with low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, bell, shelf, notch and all-pass shapes - Frequency panning to vary the filter frequency per channel - Intuitive filter display lets you easily create and tweak filters - Very flexible routing options to set all combinations of serial and parallel filtering - L/R and M/S routing options for per-channel filtering - Drive, delay, and output level/panning settings per filter - High Quality option enabling maximum internal oversampling - Piano display - Endless modulation options, with all the 16-step XLFOs, XY controllers/sliders, envelope generators, envelope followers, and MIDI sources you will ever need - Easy drag-and-drop modulation with 50-slot modulation matrix - Live modulation visualization for targets and sources - Curve control in EGs and transient detection in EFs - Carefully designed and curated factory presets, plus the ability to save your own presets - External side-chain triggering - Optional MIDI triggering - Undo/redo and A/B comparison "With a stonking sound and incredible flexibility, Volcano is a must for anyone seeking a characterful all-in-one filter solution" — Computer Music "The combination of a powerful sound and ease-of-use makes Volcano unique." — Future Music

BLEASS Phase Mutant

Developing BLEASS Omega gave us the perfect opportunity to take a deep dive into the fascinating sonic capabilities of FM synthesis, and this sparked an innovative idea: A plugin that can apply the principles of frequency modulation to literally any source material. The result is BLEASS Phase Mutant. Where existing phase distortion plugins create their effect by using an audio signal to modulate itself, BLEASS Phase Mutant takes things to an entirely new level with the addition of an oscillator that can modulate the input signal or be modulated by it. This allows BLEASS Phase Mutant to fully harness FM’s ability to create complex and colourful harmonic distortions, achingly expressive tonal variations, and fascinating sonic hooks. BLEASS Phase Mutant’s oscillator tracks the input signal’s pitch, or can be set to a factor of that input pitch. It can also produce a range of different waveforms, all of which can be spread across the stereo field by offsetting the phase of left and right channels. In combination, these abilities open up a whole new universe of unique, modern-sounding effects that are perfect for vocals, basses, arpeggios and leads. You’re going to love what BLEASS Phase Mutant can do to your drum and percussion parts too! BLEASS Phase Mutant also offers 2 LFOs, an Envelope Follower and a Motion Sequencer with multiple modulation destinations, which you can easily visualize. BLEASS Phase Mutant is also available for Mac & Windows. Find more information and tutorials on https://www.bleass.com/phasemutant/
