![]() ![]() You’ll need an iLok account and the plug-ins will be available there to license individually. With that in mind, then, we’ll look at the newbies of Parallels, Harmonics, OTO Biscuit and Transient Shaper but I’m also keen to cover some of Modular, Heartbeat and whatever else I can fit in. ![]() For the sake of this review – and to a certain extent, my sanity, otherwise we’ll be here all day – I’ll focus on the newcomers to version 3, but also pick and choose some of Volume’s previous highlights.

Softube, in case you aren’t aware, makes everything software-wise: from emulations of classic outboard, through vast suites of modular synth components – within its ‘Modular’ ecosystem – and bespoke synths and drum machines, they’re all here… That is some volumeīroadly speaking, Volume 3 is split into four areas: Instruments (featuring the Heartbeat drum synth, the aforementioned Modular system and the dual-source Parallels synth) Signal Processing Tools (with ‘the best classic EQs, compressors, and mastering tools’ including a lot of emulations of outboard from companies including Summit Audio, Drawmer, Weiss and Trident) Effects (with everything from algorithmic-type reverbs to the more ‘out there’ OTO Biscuit) and finally, Amps (with Softube’s Amp Room plug-ins emulating vintage guitar and bass gear). Since then, I’ve looked at Arturia’s V Collection – a massive set of vintage keyboards – while other companies are now in on the act, including Steinberg with its Absolute Collection, Kilohearts with its vast collection of ‘Snapins’ and, here, Softube with everything the company does within a collection simply called Volume.
