Excellent tutorial and catchy jam. I like it. A neat trick I would like to mention is holding the function button while adjusting the LFO rate it will cycle through time divisions of the tempo. A very fun easy way to change up a sequence with only a knob twist.

@TimJacksonOriginal 3 года назад

The bass has lots of power hidden beneath a really simple surface. I love that you can sequence each DCO separately, thus tripling the number of potential onboard sequencer memory slots. If you mute/unmute the oscillators as a sequence plays you can switch melodies or basslines within a track without having to use those precious additional memory slots, which is great for live sets.

@DonErikos 2 года назад

@fickfehler3866 4 года назад

FYI to all Volca owners. The Korg power adapter is rated at 1.7 Ah. Each Volca draws around .35 Ah. So you can actually power 3 or 4 Volcas in a rack patch into Korg's original power adapter. I ran leads from the battery compartment underneath to keep things tidy in the custom volca stand.

@walrtbstudios5430 3 года назад

FICKFEHLER Yep, I got four in a custom-made box, two by two, and they all run off a single Korg psu via a daisy-chain. Would have run out of wall sockets otherwise...

@mikeellisonhimself 3 года назад

Korg introduced a "Volca Mix" mixer like can power up to three additional Volca units since this was video was released.

@brambo4776 3 года назад

@craigbrowning9448 5 месяцев назад

The reason I got one of these in this was more to use it as a ribbon controlled similar to the ribbons on the old Yamaha CS units and some of their Electronic Organs built around the same time. For a time I played one of these in a Blues-Rock band called Trickki Vickki and the Mississippi Leg Hounds Occasionally Vikki would get a little bit too "Diva-Liie" and I would respond by using the portamento strip to make what she disparagingly called "Toilet Sounds" as a reaction!

Awesome video! Very informative thanks.. I had prior to this video already decided on a Behringer TD-3 over the Volca Bass/Nubass as for a bass synth because the ACID sound (so great). The more I watch videos on these the more I hear this distinct and different sound from the TD-3 +++ 3 oscillators(may have to get one of these as bass #2 (~_~))

many compliments for you tutorial. i have a korg volca bass and korg volca sample 2. which other korg volca machine is more advisable to play along with the volca sample2 and volca bass? Could it be the volca drum? Consider that I have the Korg Electribe 2 and the Mininova Novation. Many thanks

@oscartravis5740 4 года назад

Good one, this was really helpful thanks! But the kick drum and high hat, were they generated from the volca beats?

@walrtbstudios5430 3 года назад

@dieterroberts8160 3 года назад

You made the right choice. I have both, and the Volca blows the TD-3 away. Way more versatile, sounds better, better quality, and much easier to use.

@iosmusicman 3 года назад

Firstly let me congratulate you on a super tutorial. I just ordered one to go with my volca sample. Secondly your voice should be for hire if it isn’t already. I’m in the UK but have visited 14 states in the USA and I’m still not very good at identifying accents (you could of course be Canadian but I think I’d spot that). There is so much quality in diction, inflection, intonation and all round delight. So where does the voice and accent hail from please? Many thanks. Cheers. Lee

Oh and I forgot to ask about the midi in with kick and hat (what are the input sources for the beats?) Thanks in advance. Lee
