There's a question that has been asked tons of times by Korg Volca Keys owners, including myself.
Is there a way to make a drone with this machine? Sadly until now the answer was always: "No". In fact, it doesn't have a hold note function, and it lacks of the ability to sustain notes indefinitely.
But recently I've come across a very simple trick that changed it all. So, I decided to share this magic little hack with all of you, drone and ambient music lovers.
If you appreciate my work, please consider to leave me a like and subscribe to my channel, it makes a huge difference to me. Thank you!

A few words about the author: my name is ELECTRO / MAGNETIC and I compose Ambient and Drone Music of different kind, such as ambient space music, ambient sci fi music, cosmic ambient music, ambient cyberpunk music, ambient drone music, cinematic ambient music, relaxing ambient music, etc... to be used as a background or for active listening.
Sometimes I also add sound effects and field recordings as rain ambience or nature ambience that make the listener’s experience more immersive.
On this channel you can find my videos of ambient jams, live performances and visual scenarios created with AI for immersive cinematic soundtracks.
You can use these listen to these tracks when to help you study, focus, work, sleep, relax, read, role play, and so on.

Try this. Start with a blank sequence (func+all). Select a mono mode, doesn't matter what. Crank up the sustain to max. Press rec to arm the sequencer, press a note (the recording will start), and keep the note for at least 2 complete cycles. At this point you can turn the sequencer off (not only the rec state, I mean switch off the whole sequencer by turning off the play state), the drone will keep up whit absolutely no retrigger! Switch to a poly mode and play along your drone. At least in my vk it works, without any cable or external device. I have the firmware update installed, but this worked even before, If I remember correctly. Try it and please tell me if this hack works in your vk's, or I have a strange one. Kisses from Italy 💋

@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic
@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic 7 месяцев назад
I understand. The sequencer re triggers the note every time, but with the right setting of attack and release (maybe a bit of delay too) it can be masked. With the method on the video you can be sure that it will hold still whatever setting you use. Have a great music making!

There is no need for this hack. Just record a note for 1-15 steps by holding it (with sustain 100%) Go to active steps and disarm the steps without a note. It has the advantage that voicemodulation (poly, unison etc.) still works. With your hack voicemodulation doesn't work because of the "freeze".😊
