Volca Bass Arpeggio Melodies 

FACTS

i guess im asking randomly but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.

@Crew Nash instablaster =)

@Philip Brycen i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

@Philip Brycen It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much, you really help me out!

no, the valhalla shimmer made it sound like another world ;-p

Thank you!

And thank you to you!

@@RemixSample you wanna Collab on a music project?

Thanks Ave! I'm still around just been procrastinating all summer! :D

eargasmic ;-)

I would choose the Circuit because it's two synths, a sample player and a sequencer all in a box. You'll have more fun with it I think.

bowieknife I have the bass.then couldn't help buying the beats and keys.they're very addictive machines and the great price helps too.fm for me next.

Yeah they are addictive! I think FM will be my second :)

bowieknife Good choice. The FM and Sample are the best Volcas ;)

I got the FM as I love the 80s/90s FM synth sounds, and it has an arpeggiator so I can make passable tunes without much talent.. It's great fun!

You can enter 16 notes into the internal sequencer of the Volca Bass. You just press record and enter the notes you want. In this video I used an external sequencer so I could have more notes playing. For that I used a USB to Midi cable hooked up to my computer and DAW.

@@RemixSample ok, is it possible to achieve similiar effect with no computer?

@@warbad666 Yes but you need to unlock the higher BPM on the Volca so you can get these fast arps. See how to do it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-L2RtVZ-0548.html

INGSOC I got the FM.. comes in a few days .

If you get a Minilogue I would say the Volca FM because it covers a lot of sounds that the Minilogue can't make. They make a great pair!

Thanks. I use a USB to Midi cable like this one imgur.com/JdH5cwW

Yes. I created the arps into the piano roll of FL Studio. One easy way to do that is to create a chord progression and then apreggiate it (ctrl+a)

Hey! It's Valhalla Shimmer valhalladsp.com/shop/reverb/valhalla-shimmer/

@@RemixSample perfect! thanks a lot )

Do you want a synth or a sample player? It's difficult to play melodies on the Volca Sample but there are so much you can do with it compared to the Volca Bass. You can create full songs with the Volca Sample, you can play 8 different samples at the same time. Korg Volca's are a bit addictive so you'll probably end up buying another one in the future either way.

Felipe Vidal or you could save your money and get a korg electrive 2. i sold my volca bass and got an electribe. hours of fun buddy! but i would not suggest the bass. it gets boring pretty fast. but thats just my oppignion tho.

Correct! Some of the arpeggios could probably have fitted into the internal sequencer but it was easier to do it from a DAW via midi.

Great possibilities here - thanks for the inspiration

I'm sequencing from a DAW so that's just the way I programmed the arp in the piano roll. You can do a similar thing by unlocking the BPM on the Volca so that it goes from 10-600 and manually turn the knob.

Good question. Yeah probably, at least the sounds I made in this video. The Volca Bass has three VCO's so when it comes to detuned sounds I think it can do things that the monologue can't but I'm not sure.

I use external effects. The Volca Bass is connected to my computer so I can add Valhalla Shimmer which is a reverb that sounds amazing valhalladsp.com/shop/reverb/valhalla-shimmer/

@@RemixSample Nice !

The Volca Bass is connected to FL Studio via usb to midi cable. I send midi notes from FL Studio into the Volca.

In FL Studio there is an arpeggio mode that you activate inside the piano roll. It transforms all notes into an arp pattern that you can manipulate using the control panel that pops up. I don't know if there is something similar inside Ableton. Here are two ways to use arps in FL Studio for reference: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m_itX317AuU.html

RemixSample thank you so much!

RemixSample welcome please help can i run live throug fx my volca bass how can it be? I am using fl studio trying to use rverb but there is no efect :(

This sounds awesome!

Thanks! The settings were pretty close to default if that's what you are asking. Volca - DAW - EQ - Valhalla FX

Ragnar lothbrok approves this

Sorry how can play live by fx? What program you use?

Hey! I used Valhalla Shimmer.

Yes I think I did. I layed out some chords and used the arp generator to get different variations of those chords. I use FL studio.

RemixSample it's got a very Stephan Bodzin sound to it.

Hmm I'm not sure actually. In this video the notes are being sent via midi from my computer so I'm not using the internal sequencer. If you unlock the BPM of the Volca Bass you can go from 10 bpm to 600 bpm. Details here: www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/bgyptg/volca_bass_bpm/

@@RemixSample Thank you good sir :D

I used a daw, FL Studio. Sending the midi notes via a usb to midi cable..

@@RemixSample great stuff

Sure. Midi to USB cable from PC to Volca Bass. Midi out channel from FL Studio playing the notes into the Volca Bass. So no internal sequencing in this video because this sort of pattern with alternating tempo changes is not possible on the Volca Bass. It's just easier to work with midi out imho. If I was to do this internally I would have to change patterns and bpm manually, I would have no hands left to filter and stuff. :D I was changing the wave shapes and turning on/off the LFO. Maybe that looked like bank changes.

How about making a tutorial :-D

+1 for tutorial!! Please!

RemixSample if u were to this internally....... lol

Yup! Midi from FL Studio

I'm using the midi input and sending notes from my DAW (FL Studio) into the Volca Bass. You can do similar things on the synth itself if you unlock the BPM so it goes from 10-600 BPM. "Hold FUNC while turning on your Volca and you'll be in the GLOBAL Parameter menu. Press step #5 and you'll have "Full Tempo" of BPM from 10 to 600 - make sure step #5 is lit and press REC to set and exit the Global Parameter menu."

@@RemixSamplecould you potentially use the arpeggios from the Roland j-6 and run it through?

@@Malibooyahhh Yes that works great

Yes I understand what you mean. I thought all Volcas was going to have the same type of sequence programming as the Bass did, but I was wrong. :/

​@@RemixSample I'm not sure I understand your answer. I have a Volca Keys and I know that sequences can be programmed into it. Why is this so different from the Volca Bass?

@@mickypoo4622 Well forgive me if I don't recall exactly how they all work since I haven't used the Volcas in a while. But the Volca Bass is programmed by entering one note at the time by pressing the key you want to register. On some of the other Volcas you have to play and record the sequence live. That's the main difference.

@@RemixSample OK, I was just asking the question. No criticism intended and no further questions, Mr. Touchy ...

@@mickypoo4622 When I prefaced my answer with forgive me. I wasn't being sarcastic or snarky. I genuinely don't remember how these things work. Cheers.

I almost always write what I use to create my videos in the video description like I did in this one. Yes it's a great synth but like bread it needs butter. I honestly feel like the synth companies are less informative than me in their demos. XD They use all kinda of unrelated audio like drums loops lol

Midi is being sent from my DAW (FL Studio). I drew the notes in the piano roll.

@@RemixSample excellent thank you.

Just midi by external sequencer

What is fake and how did I fake it?

Haha lol... it's not fake man. It's a normal korg connected to a midi and some reverb fx.

It's real and it's easy to do. Try adding Valhalla Shimmer to your Volca Bass.
