  • Cymbal

    • Product Description

    The volca series is all about unique sound. Whether it's analog, PCM, or FM, the volca series puts unique sounds into an accessible platform. And now, the series is joined by a new rhythm machine that brings yet another sonic character. It's the volca drum digital percussion synthesizer. Based on a simple trigger waveform, wave folder and overdrive are used to add overtones and distortion, and then a waveguide resonator effect brings the sound to life. The six-part DSP synth engine was designed with a completely different philosophy than conventional drum machines, and generates a wide range of unexpectedly different sounds. And of course, you can play those sounds from the volca-style sequencer. Adding these distinctive sounds to your rhythms will revolutionarily transform your performances and productions.

Compact, multiple features, amazing sounds and patterns, tutorials available. I can't believe it is actually making all those kicks that I've always heard my favorite artists play.

    Style: Korg Volca FMVerified Purchase
    Hands down the best in the volca series. A real FM synth. If you are into 80s music this is a must have. It is a DX7 that fits in your pocket.

    Being able to load DX7 patches is a huge deal. This little synth may be small but it packs huge features. 6 operator engine with a menu system that is easy to understand and use even though it is based in a single line LED display.

    You can edit , load and save up to 32 presets at a time. You can transfer patches from freeware like Dexed.

    The sequencer and arp are simple and fun to use. The keyboard is actually easy to use. You can connect an external midi keyboard. You can sync it with other volca devices.

    Build quality is actually very good for a plastic box. Batteries add weight and make it feel solid. Battery life is good. There is a built in speaker however it really does not give you a real feel for this synth.

    Hook this up to a pair of headphones or an amp and it comes alive. The built in chorus adds depth. If you add a reverb to the mix this thing becomes a religious experience.

    You will not be disappointed.

    Style: volca drumVerified Purchase
    Thing is pretty ridiculous. You got 6 tracks, each with 2 different layers/voices. You can have up to 16 hits in a single step (per track), you have probability, parameter step locking (can play melodies and even chords by tuning sounds specific to their step), random track/sound generation and a great sequencer packed with features for live play. The only 'drawback' is only 16 steps but with probability, split steps, and the live playing features it doesnt matter. Dont listen to negative reviews. This thing can do a lot and is probably the best volca overall. I have made several of my own kits from scratch and i can get great thumping kicks and super snappy snares and high hats. And AMAZING fx sounds. I'm beyond impressed. This thing for $109 is a steal. Not the best 'beginner' volca but it is friendly enough to invite you in with the preset patches to have fun with the sequencer until you decide to dive into sound design. Then you can start doing wacky generative and ambient stuff if you want too. All on this little synth.

    I use this with a small external keyboard and a retrokits cable. The results are awesome and portable. I don't bother with the macro knobs. I've drilled a hole in the back and brought the midi out "out". I can send full patch banks to my TX7. Individual patch sending doesn't work, at least for me. The midi in port is a little wobbly, I'll update my review if needed. The three voices only are sort of a bummer, but to properly emulate the DX7 you need > 60k sampling rate to minimize aliasing, and this thing runs off batteries all day long. Keep it in bed with you and just wake up in the morning with a pair of headphones and you're ready to go back to a land of neon spandex and full-frame animation. A wholly superior decade. I know because I was there.

    Yes, the velocity implementation and lack of portamento are also bummers, but I can't really fault this thing. The five stars are because I use this every day and the korg engineers did a great job sound-wise and proper fm synthesis (or at least the phase modulation synthesis of dx7) has a way of putting me into a trance-like state.

    non-pro tip #1: When importing patches over midi from pc, make sure you turn all six volca voices ON after importing the patch. Many times, voices crucial to the patch are not turned on.

    non-pro tip #2: Make, or better yet, import a default sine wave patch from a patch bank that you can edit and experiment with. The default parameter values are not always what you think they are - sometimes they are in the middle of the range.

    Great little starter drum machine. But the problem I’ve had with TWO different units, when i plug it into an audio interface, the unit died on two separate korg volca drums. have had to replace both. I did successfully make two songs using it, but overall it seems to be very limited with “useable sounds” unless your a mad scientist and like alien type sounds in your music. I’m not one of those people. lol. Kicks hit hard and claps sound great which is the most of what I used it for. I will be getting an Electron Model Cycles instead for my drum machine needs due to both the units dying on me. Seems the circuitry is very weak internally, and just unplugging the audio out could kill the unit. I love my Korg microkorg though. lol

    Buscaba algo para pasar el rato. No soy músico y los sintetizadores siempre me han llamado la atención.

    Por suerte, he dado en el clavo con el Volca Drum.

    Es fácil de aprender, pero con infinidad de opciones. En Youtube hay muchos vídeos para comenzar con lo basico. Pero luego, si profundizas, encuentras ejemplos avanzados para improvisar con el Volca (las llamadas "Jam session").

    Así que, trasteando un poco, he llegado a obtener unos resultados que me satisfacen. Sin ninguna pretensión de más, tan sólo la de ir creando sobre la marcha. La curva de aprendizaje es de lo más satisfactoria.

    Pros: ocupa poco, listo en un momento y portable.

    Contras: hay que comprar un adaptador de corriente específico.

    Pour moi, parmi les Volca, c'est celui qui me parait le plus intéressant. Ce petit cousin éloigné du fameux Yamaha DX7 des 1980 (dont il reprend un peu le look), offre des sonorités permettant de retrouver le son du DX7 avec des réglages tout aussi complets, mais beaucoup moins complexes à mettre en oeuvre. On retrouve les algorithmes du DX7 et on peut s’amuser à les paramétrer pour modifier le son. Génial ! L'arpeggiator intégré sur le Volca FM est complet et facile d'utilisation. Tout comme le séquenceur (commun à toute la gamme Volca). Helas, il n'a que 16 pas, mais on peut chaîner les "mémoires" pour avoir 16, 32, 48, ... pas
    On peut retrouver les sonorités du DX7 en chargeant dans la mémoire du Volca les "son" du DX7, grâce à un logiciel (Dexed) et un câble USB --> MIDI IN (a acheter en plus, hélas). Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas directement une interface USB.
    La petite taille du Volca permet de l'emporter avec soit facilement. Il fonctionne sur piles et a un petit haut-parleur intégré. Le haut-parleur n'est pas de grande qualité, mais il fait bien son boulot, quand le Volca n'est pas branché sur un casque ou une table de mixage et un ampli.
    Le revers de la médaille de cette petite taille, c'est le clavier : il est vraiment petit et il faut se concentrer pour ne pas jouer deux notes en même temps avec ses gros doigts :-) . Mais difficile de faire un meilleur clavier sur une si petite taille.
    Pour moi, il manque la possibilité de sauvegarder ses compositions autre part que sur la mémoire interne du Volca. Un port pour carte micro-SD serait bienvenu, ainsi qu'une prise MIDI OUT. Sur ce dernier point les Volca, ont toute l'électronique nécessaire pour gérer le MIDI OUT et des personnes soudent des prises MIDI au Volca pour en profiter. Mais adieu la garantie.
    Quelques défauts donc, mais au vue de ses qualités et son prix (169 €), la note de 5 étoiles est méritée !

    生産終了との事で、本格的に入手困難になる前に、なんとか中古を購入。
    はまさしくFMサウンド、エレピのプリセットがお気に入りで、手放せなくなりました。
    出音に関しては、DA周り価格相応の安っぽさがあるものの、アウトボードやエフェクトで調整できる範囲です。
    FMシンセをモデリングしたVSTプラグインも使ってきた事あるけど、やはりハードの方がわかりやすい。
