KORG Volca sample, bass, beats, keys: TECHNO #3 

Got me started.

Same here. I always loved electronic music but only had a passing interest in producing anything until I discovered the Volcas with this video. They looked fairly inexpensive and intuitive, and I’m super glad that is true!

I first came here 3 years ago and I keep coming back. I hope he will come back some day.

Same here!

got my first korg volca sample after watching this

Exactly my thoughts❤

So am I!

Same here, shame OP seems to be MIA

100% agreed!

I never stop to listen this live since 3years now... Its the more mistic live un YT because the guys stop to create... No news about him!

guys a fucking legend lmao

Unbelievably based

what whould his mother say when he drinks everything !

Yeah this was pretty tight. Im sure he did some preparations but i wonder how much of this was just improvisation on the fly and how much it was something he practised before he made this. Never the less slapped really hard and required skill. I think this video itself is a good proof that volcas are more than toys than some people deem them to be. Sure, they do lack what alot of others and more expensive synths do, but in the right hands they are very good. Im glad korg decided to make these things.

NGL I was on the edge of my seat when they were freestyling with the ribbon... those things are brutal for live jamming on

@@wardrich Facts.

Here we are, coming back to this video again, and again, and again!

Aaaaand weed!

Aaand .... ? 🤔😬

Same! Only no beers, just water.

It's a early Wednesday morning for me - cheers mate 🍻

Paris 3:23AM cheers

35, doing the same now )

no you can't listen. music is for the young. *rolls eyes e.e*

Wish you luck, man! Stay safe!

I just found it again. I was about to comment that it was fucking excellent when I saw that I had already said it was fucking excellent a year ago!

Same

Can you explain how this is done? I have a Volca Sample and don't know what and how he is doing this...

​@@Cimoe I re-watched the first bit of the video, so here is what I see happening with the Sample. Follow along with your eyes and ears... At 0:02 he starts up a program that plays the sonar ping sound. At 0:05 he fiddles with the reverb mix knob to add... well, reverb to the ping. At 1:05 he unmutes one of the parts that has a high hat sound. At 1:12 he unmutes part slot 2, which is a finger snap sound. At 1:18 he unmutes part slot 4, which is a bass. At 1:45, he does two things -- he tweaks the bass analog isolator knob with his left hand to boost the bass sound, but then immediately launches a chained pattern (song) with his right hand -- to introduce a chord progression by having the ping sound turn into a melody and the bassline become more complex. So, what were the tricks we saw? 1. Write a program with everything, then save it with just about every instrument muted. Then unmute various instruments as you play. 2. Instead of starting a song with all effects going, introduce effects later on (like the reverb and bass boost). 3. Introduce a new section of your song by programming new sequences using the same instruments and launch them on the fly. I recommend watching and listening closely through the song. Watch his hands. Listen to what changes with each tweak or press. Look at your Volca to see exactly what buttons or knobs are being manipulated. Figure out what was programmed beforehand. Do it with all the Volcas. Can you work out the sequence of how he played each Volca? How was each Volca set up before the performance? Can you recreate parts of the performance on your Volca? The cool thing is that other than the Sample, you can at least roughly recreate the sounds yourself with some experimentation. It's like when a student goes to a museum to copy a famous painting -- look closely, figure out how it was done bit by bit, then recreate on your canvas. Good luck!

The volcá sample seems to be the solution for several issues in volcá music such a 16 beat pattern sequencer for real interesting bass lines

Geoffrey Higham check out mine🥰🎹

I want one would ya trade for something? ;) I'd love to use this live alongside the microkorg an all time fav. A launchpad and a mk2 ur set lol

Are u implying that u are superised that musicians don't always play keys drums guitar or sing? Lol jk but it's a common view of the older generation that if you aren't playing a traditional instrument with vox its not real music, truth me told production of electronic music especially at (higher levels of difficulty) is not any different than motzart writing a symphony, he did the work of putting it together the way we do these days in modern studios and conducting was basically hitting play, changing only slightly where today someone like me can play guitar sing, play drums, keys and FULLY produce and master the whole album n the funny thing is the instrumentation that people sometimes consider real music, compared to a song written in protools or ableton. The instrumentation is the easiest part usually. Becoming a GOOD dj Emcee or Producer these things take more skill, time, and comprehensive understanding of everything from theory to modern applications and new technologies mixed with old analog like this for the warmest sounds. No disrespect just funny some people still feel (electronic music Is less "real" ) than say rock n roll, I beg to argue without robert moog and tech like voice boxes even electric guitars were probably looked at no differently. BUT if u like that check out some of the greats like, squarepusher with his mix of jazz break beats and electronic production that for the time is light-years ahead of itself. These days we have buttons to do this kind of staggering MASHEDUP style traditionally made note by note hit by hit much like the great composers once did.. music is changing soo quickly but our cultural understanding and acceptance seem to take a bit longer.. all my best, to see whats cutting edge today check out someone like beardyman all LIVE looping to create amazing sets! All my best

i bought 1 and was disappointed of the tiny sound

James Crock, don’t use the internal speaker.

volca FM is super great with a ring modulator

But doing it live with a group of machines is way cooler!

A true artist is never limited by what tools they have, only by what they imagine can be done with the tools that they do have. People with shit attitudes should never use anything korg volca related haha

Knowledge and understanding helps too. When I got my FM, I was initially un-impressed with it and it sat unused for months. Now with a understanding of synthesis (and FM in particular) I am having a great time using it.

also for have experiment in many way lots of vst and hardware the sound of a synth analogic is way better than any vst. When you use a volca keys with a space echo is just better than any ableton reverb or massive preset than you'll get. The problem of these machine IMO is that there is no MIDI out, only mini jack out!! and also they are very small and you need very tiny finger to use the keyboard. the best way to put them in set up is to send midi note from keyboard and to have midi signal splitter.

Very nice tune, did you release this track also? @Spuckfunkel

buuuuu weep da nana da da

he lives with his mother ! and driks of her ihratagde

What? Haha wack comments! Dude your a star! 🤘

solid AF indeed.... holy shite!... chapeau!!!

I balt all hiz shiz, and sold it on ebay

you're so right. Just decided to purchase !

Pay up KORG Lol srs tho

Yeah this is bad ass!

I am looking into prices now lol

Noise Alchemist same here🥰 and because of he‘s not back yet I made a video - please check it out 🥰🙌🏻

Strateggo listen: Tears in rain - Plasmotek! ;)

We NEED to find out who he is.

He has probably seen some C beams.

Luke Pearson yes

and 4k subscribers with 3 video's...impressive ;-)

Professor Dictabeat schau mal bei mir vorbei wär cool wenns dir gefällt 🎛🎛🙌🏻

I discover Royksopp with your comment! Thank you!

We all remember the day we discovered Royksopp

Good choice of avatar, comrade!🚩🏴✊

Eh? I'm an anarcho syndicalist and I consider all socialists to be my comrades. Stalinists and Maoists aren't socialists, of course.

and we all keep coming back... WHO IS SPUCKFUNKEL???

Damn, well spotted! I was trying to figure that out

As in its a 4 bar sample ?

@@orenJF I don't think so, I think it's one shot samples in a 4 bar pattern on the sample - that one can do chaining iirc

theorist yeah pleaseeee

And yesterday I finally bought K.V.Keys :)
