Volca Keys Makes AWESOME Bass Sounds!
Now that I've had some to get to know my Korg Volca Keys, I figured I'd make a video on a few of my favorite sounds that it can make. I've got two super fat bass sounds, as well as a nice light lead type sound that I've been using a lot lately. Enjoy!
GEAR IN THIS VIDEO:
Volca Keys: amzn.to/2ZVMgfK
Arturia Keystep (controller): amzn.to/2CW1AQF
Zoom H5 (audio recorder): amzn.to/2ONTw7n

The Volca Keys is such a versatile instrument (definitely NOT a toy). This video perfectly illustrates just some capabilities of this pocket dynamo from Korg.

@FreeBeat 3 года назад

Thanks so much for watching!

Love it....I was waiting for Tom Sawyer to start at least a few times...your making me want to get one of these Volkas, they all sound great.

@FreeBeat 4 года назад

Hahaha I'm positive that's why E is my go to note to test any bass synth 😂 And thanks! Just wait til I get another synth lol

@chrisegonmusic 4 года назад

All Volcas have some amazing features. My favourite thing about the Keys is that you can half the tempo of the synced devices.

@FreeBeat 4 года назад

Yes! You can get some awesome jams going with that feature, maybe I'll do one soon :)

@chrisegonmusic 4 года назад

Free Beat there aren’t many videos that point that out. Really unique.

@olGrandpaby 2 года назад

You can do that with all volcas

@patrickbodine6010 4 года назад

Just received the Volca keys as well as the Volca bass. Now the fun begins! Just gotta figure out how to hook them up to make them work together.

@FreeBeat 4 года назад

Nice! Run the sync out of one into the sync in of the other, then run both of their headphone outputs into some sort of mixer, plug your main out into that and you're ready to go!

Which one do you like so far? I'm still not sure plus a sample furshure and a mono delay but still not sure which one to get bass or keys?

@patrickbodine6010 3 года назад

@@teatime2595 I like the keys because there are so many customizable sounds. But then again, the bass does as well. Keys. Then bass.😉👍

Some of those Volca-key sounds, really sound like coming from the old SID-chip from Commodore.

Maybe this will be a dumb question. But Volca bass have similar ir bigger bass than these tones? Thanks, great video

Run the Volca keys into the EHX Mole pedal. Sweet sweet BASS!

@losinsolitos4127 Год назад

Hello, Can you add patterns or effects from fl studio for example, import from an usb? Does it have a memory so every time you turn it on you can play that recorded stuff? Thanks

@eightcoins4401 Год назад

You cant. Theres no sampler or midi save in it. Only way to control it via midi is plugging an extrnal keyboard with a midi out into its midi in.

@StephenTYS 3 года назад

Oh god, this is the sound I've been in absolute love with ever since I heard it as a kid on the PC game MEGARACE, track NEWSAN. I think I need this thing, although I am new to the world of synths.

@FreeBeat 3 года назад

It's an excellent place to start, thanks for watching!

@nathantherrien2136 4 года назад

Wow! You really got the hang of it. The term you're looking for is Frequency modulation or FM. This could get very complicated but it's a form of synthesis where a super fast Lfo is changing the pitch of an oscilator so quickly, new harmonics are created.

@FreeBeat 4 года назад

Thank you!!! I always wondered exactly what FM was, and that explanation really helped. There's so much to learn lol, thanks for watching!

@samuellemos9575 4 года назад

i met your channel this week and i'm in love with your content, very inspiring and pretty dope your jams and tutorials, keep on, congratulations and thanks, and i wanna know with can make a video with P.O. K.O 33 + NTS 1 + Volca Drum (if u have it), and cheers from Brazil.

@FreeBeat 4 года назад

Thank you so very much! I don't have the volca drum, but I'm hoping to get one very soon. Thanks for watching!

@eyeball226 3 года назад

The delay isn't the same as the one in the Monotron. The Monotron delay uses a BBD chip (solid state analogue). The Keys actually has a lo-fi digital delay, but it does have dirty sort of character which might make you think it was analogue.

@FreeBeat 3 года назад

Good to know, thanks!

@88Spint 2 года назад

Just got mine, had a hard time getting it to sound good cus i don't really know what to do. Gonna enjoy messing with it for another week tho. This helps me get an idea of what does what tho! :D

@stonedapesociety5628 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this one! I need an handy synth to spin some serious bass for my dub songs and maybe this is the one.. I had a volca bass but I gave it away..not quite my thing..

@FreeBeat 3 года назад

Glad you enjoyed the video. I enjoy the sound of the bass, but the versatility of the keys makes it the winner for me!

@sheepkillindog 2 года назад

Try the EHX Mole pedal for even bigger bass

@MrTableDesk 3 года назад

If Im not mistaken I think that technique you use to make it even fatter is a form of Frequency Modulation. I'm still pretty new at this so I might be mistaken

@FreeBeat 3 года назад

You are correct! Fun to go back to when this video was released (over a year ago) and see how much I've learned haha. Thanks for watching!

@maxmatson1578 3 года назад

I wish the "keys" had the same delay as the "monotron"? The "monotron delay" one sounds so much better.

@FreeBeat 3 года назад

I think it's just the lo-fi-ish nature of the monotron that makes it sound so good!

@maxmatson1578 3 года назад

@@FreeBeat True, but in comparison to the delay that's on the "Volca keys" compared to the "monotron delay". There's just something about the monotron delay That just sounds better Fidelity wise.

@FreeBeat 3 года назад

I'm not that familiar with the bass as the keys is the only one that I own, but both seem to have certain advantages over the other. If you want polyphony, definitely go with the keys though. Thanks for watching!
