100% of all this was completely unexpected and mind-blowing. Amazing stuff!!! I specially liked the light theremin bit. I want to do that with mine NOW.
Honestly though how difficult is it compared to the other volcas? Especially for the price I was thinking about a Berhinger crave or a east beast for 250!
@@audiowanderer yeah that's what I think and the sample especially for the cash! I really dig analog sound though but it sound cool with the zoom pedal and reverb and or overdrive,I really want the pedal but not sure what volca either the fm2 or the bass, I have to key's and micro freak , models cycle sample 2 and the volca beats!
The passive mixer is genius. I don't know how to solder but I know the volca is basically banana board connections, but I have no idea how to make a passive cv mixer sadly. I love the volcano modular. It's one of the most interesting synths I have, and has turned me into a fiend for west coast synths now.
Very interesting and creative explorations. I particularly liked the piezo drumstick trigger onto a cork placemat on top of a clay plantpot saucer...excellent. Subscriibed.
Great video, thank you! This sweet little self-contained noise-science experiment unit is so inexpensive I got two for the ability to compare patch-building results--- to be able to sort out various in-the-moment mysteries & stand on two legs instead of one, kind of like the ubiquitous concept of "two is one, one is none." Doing 2 identical patches & then making changes on one to compare seems to give me a much faster & better grasp of what's happening, without having to switch patching or settings away from whatever "basis" patch I'm playing with--- also can be hard to backtrack sometimes! These do have a fragile toy quality at first view, but I've started loving the child-like scale, and casual tolerances -- it's very playful & refuses to become over-serious unlike more expensive gear costing more like a home-mortgage payment! Light & lively rules, & your video adds tons of value to volca modular ownership! --- Cheers!
Man this is some of the most creative and well made videos I have seen in a while! the DIY approach is priceless, good picture also and the overall mood and philosophy...keep on! By the way i just bought a second hand volca modular a couple of hours before, i know really nothing about it or west coast synthesis and so on...but i feel i will have a lot of fun with it...:)))
Very underrated video! I didn't guess it would be that easy to just start plugging stuff into it. I guess as the unit is designed so you can't make a wrong connection and fry it that would be possible. For CV mixing with the pots what types of things can you achieve? I don't yet have one of the units so I can't test.
That video is already done, mate…Enjoy: Transform your Volca Modular into a BEING of LIGHT!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5fl9act_Ido.html
your Video ist the one showing the most possibillitys what to do with a modular and some aditional Hardware, do you think it is able to Run some Signals over a 'wird heart' by tubbutec? To get an extra Output, triggered by a CV Signal from the modular and in sync without Midi?
The Volca modular has a cv input so you can feed there the output of the wired heart But that would not be in sync with the Volca. Maybe get an cv output through the dupont socket can be a solution
hi master, I see that you have gone beyond the connections already present on the synthesizer and have expanded it well. I have a couple of questions of a technical nature, since I've just started the approach with modulars, semi-modulars to be exact. I have a Behringer Crave, and its connections use the classic TR minijacks. now, the volca modular uses single prong cables instead of two. So basically what is the difference? is it possible to connect them together and how? other instruments also use banana or mini crocodile jack connections. can these interconnect with the volca modular and other machines that use TR minijacks? Greatings from Italy 🙏🏻
Yes. The problem is that crave or others use two poles connectors and the Volca just use one pole so am afraid the signals delivered by each machine can’t be compatible from one pole to the two poles and viceversa. But you can always plug one signal from crave to the CV in of the modular and connect from there. That’s the way to do it safely. Hope Korg will put more cv in mini jack socket on the next Volca modular.
How do you get the voltage going to the knobs to enable them to send a voltage! This cv thing rather foxes me coz I cannot work out where tge voltages come from in the first place. I understand 1volt and sub divisions can give a scale but where the heck do they come from? I think patching is a science and very clever. I need to know what to patch what to or di you just plug them in, see what happenz then take a note of that?
Is basic signal flow. The voltage is attenuated by the carbon disc inside the knob and the signal is flowing from none flowing to going to the next point depending of how much you turn the knob
@@audiowanderer You have potentiometers on your diy module each one having three connections to them. What I wanted to know was to which points on your synth did you have them connected?
@@audiowanderer Many thanks for your prompt reply. Okay now I understand. Its a voltage mixer. I thought at first you had the pots connected to another device providing various voltages into the volca modular. That is genius!!!!! I will do same. Is it then essentially a clock divider?
I am amazed wit those setups but really do not know what to buy and how to connect. I want to buy simple breadboard and few resistors and other components but witch parameters will be the right one? It is cheap so I could experiment and as long as their are passive I will do no harm to Volca Modular, right?
I can tell you that the secret there is not the patching but go all the way down to octave and record a couple of the lowest note on the grid then go all the way up and record a bunch of highest notes then put the stochastic mode and start to play around with the patches
