今はどうか分からないが、この機種が発売された前後、観葉植物やおしゃれな小物を機材の周囲に配置した環境音楽の動画が流行ったことがあった。最近のハードも所謂'動画映え' を意識した機体デザインが増えたと感じる。KORG のマーケティングは素晴らしいが(場違いなことを言えば)、人間の奥底を音楽的に描くには古典的手法が相応しいと感じる昨今である。

O Korg Volca Bass supera em muito aquilo que se espera de uma máquina de baixos sintetizados analógicos. Com três osciladores e outros recursos , é possível compor melodias expressivas e fazer sobreposições harmônicas. Excelente! Fica com um som ainda mais bonito se for ligado em uma mesa com reverb e delay para ambientação "espacial".O ponto fraco é o auto-falante interno. Muito ruim, mas é melhor do que nada se você estiver fissurado para trabalhar com a máquina e não tiver bons fones de ouvido.

Decidí comprar el Volca Modular tras ver videos en Internet y no me arrepiento. Parece un juguete ¡pero es un sinte muy potente! Te puedes pasar horas cableando y descubriendo sonidos.El secuenciador por pasos es la mejor opción en este sinte, ya que la grabación en tiempo real es muy difícil y las teclas son demasiado pequeñas. No tiene conexión MIDI como el resto de volca, pero si tiene una entrada CV para poder utilizar un teclado externo.

Encontrar a este precio un polifónico de 3 notas es muy difícil, y este Volcán Keys te lo ofrece. Como sintetizador sustractivo tiene lo básico: Filtro, lfo, envolvente, algo para rasgar el sonido y un feedback. Pena no poder elegir tipos de onda para la principal y para lfo... Pero por este precio ya sería demasiado.Fallo: algo farragoso usar el mini teclado y andar añadiendo notas al secuenciador. Al final se puede hacer necesario comprar un teclado controlador que tenga salida Midi-out.Es un pelín viejuno no tener USB.Pero la polifonía lo hace grande. Poder hacer acordes y arpegios por ese precio es muy bueno. Teniendo en cuenta que se puede necesitar gastar 70 u 80 euros más en un teclado con midi-out, sí lo recomiendo.

Todos los volca son la leche. Este no es menos. Tuve antes la Behringer td3, y este no se queda atrás en esos sonidos tecno a lo acid House..? El secuenciador da mucho juego, bueno, todo ello, la variedad de sonidos que se le pueden sacar es grande; es bastante más versátil que la td3..y más pequeño

Es muy divertido. En cuanto al envío hubo un problema y enseguida me enviaron un recambio. El producto es muy guay sobretodo si lo conectas a una mesa de sonido, teclado... etc. Pero te diviertes

This was an impulse buy on Amazon Warehouse (AW) on a bitterly cold night in early February, an evening when I had had a few too many glasses of wine. I was vaguely aware of the Korg Volca series, in that I had seen a few negative or neutral comments about them on various music forums, but I hadn't listened to any audio demos or watched any YouTube demonstration videos. Honestly, these tiny boxes had never appealed, as I like my synths with keys or something I can put in a rack and MIDI up to my rig. So when this popped up on AW in a "Used-Acceptable condition for what seemed to be nearly 50% off the retail price, I thought, well, if I don't like it, I can sell it on for a profit.I'm glad I did. I love this little box, and it looked absolutely brand new in the box when it arrived. Go figure. I like it more than my Pro-1 monosynth -- I think the Volca Bass sounds better than most of my keyboards, with the exception of my Korg Radias. I mean to say, the Volca Bass is fat sounding, and oh!!! it has that distorted squeal that is very similar to a Roland TB-303 (or the Behringer clone). The filter resonance (peak knob) on this wee thing self-oscillates, so if you're looking to do a bit of Daft Punk or Chemical Brothers-style late 90s and early 00s techno work, this little guy can do it, and do it very nicely.Let's get the cons out of the way:The speaker is rubbish. I get why Korg put it there, but the speaker doesn't have the range to actually hear what all the glorious goodness this synth can make. Tip: Use headphones if you're going portable with this. Otherwise, hook it up to your mixer / monitoring system / amp.The MIDI implementation is good, but you can't modulate the filter via MIDI. What???!!! Why not, Korg? What are you thinking? Sigh... So, you must use the Volca Bass's filter knob in real-time. Also, no MIDI out, but it is possible to modify the unit so that it can do MIDI out, so at least there's that option for the hardcore modders.Pattern storage is limited to 8 memory slots. You will use those up quickly, and then you'll have to decide on which patterns to get rid of for later sessions. Also, there is no pattern chaining, so you must manually change patterns in real time, and you will need to do that in perfect sync as there is also no "wait to change pattern" functionality. If you're sequencing a pattern, know that the filter knob adjustments do not get recorded. The octave knob's movements will be recorded, however. On the other hand, it is possible to create 24 patterns when in individual three-osc mode, and with a bit of clever muting, you can probably do quite a bit with that.The smaller, clear knobs ... it's sometimes difficult to see what their positions are. Also, when I reach for the tempo or the EG attack knobs at the top center/left of the unit, I often accidentally brush the big filter knob.No noise oscillator... that's a shame. But not a deal breaker...So them's me cons. On the the pros:Three very stable analog VCOs (digitally tuned for stability, but these bad boys are definitely analog oscillators), any of which can be a Saw or Square wave. You have the options of three independent VCOs, two stacked together, or all three stacked together. There is also a tuning knob for each VCO, so you're able to create a very thick and fat super saw sound. Note range can be adjusted per voice but only if you are sequencing a pattern. Otherwise, all three VCOs will change depending on where the octave knob is set.The playing surface (ribbon?) is really responsive to touch and it's fun to play and slide around on it, but it is important to note that the playing surface is not velocity sensitive. The Volca Bass responds to velocity when connected to MIDI controller, though. Keep that in mind if you want to get the most you can out of this tiny box of joy. It took me a few minutes to work out what the deal was with the black and gold "keys." Tip: The gold keys are the black keys on a keyboard. The rest are the white keys. The lowest note on the surface is an "A". Maybe an "E" would have been better, which is the lowest note on a bass guitar, but from keyboard perspective I suppose it makes sense (an 88-key keyboard's first note is an A.)The filter on this insanely good. I read somewhere that it's based on a Korg 700s filter. I dunno if it is or not. And I don't care. I really like a lot.The envelope seems limited, but it actually has two modes and it is perfectly serviceable. One mode with no sustain segment, just an attack and delay, which is superb for punchy bass tones, and the second mode is with a sustain feature, which is great for more synthy sounds and self-oscillating the filter rez. These modes are switched by holding down the function button and pressing the number 11 key marked Sustain.Pattern sequencing is quick, if not a bit imprecise when doing it in real time. There is some sort of quantization going on, which can be distressing if your timing is off. I much prefer to sequence a pattern in Step Rec mode. Speaking of modes, the Active Step mode is useful and fun.At the moment, I tend to use a Beat Step Pro to sequence more complex patterns. Other times, I will set up a zone on my workstation to play the Volca Bass via MIDI in real time. I'll even swipe at the playing surface from time to time when playing other synths. You'll definitely want to put some effects in the signal chain, such as pedals or some other multi-fx unit, as the dry sound may be a bit in your face. But even dry, it can sit in a mix at low volumes.All in all, I'm really impressed by the sound of the Volca Bass. I had no idea that I was missing this in my life, and I'm glad I bought it. I'm now considering selling my Pro-1, as I have had that turned off since the beginning of February when the Volca arrived and I don't need two monosynths which cover the same sonic terrority.For its size, it's a little powerhouse in a tiny, tiny box. Could the UI (knobs), memory storage and MIDI implementation be improved? Sure, those could be better, but if you can snag one of these for $100 or less, it's definitely worth it.

Hands down the best in the volca series. A real FM synth. If you are into 80s music this is a must have. It is a DX7 that fits in your pocket.Being able to load DX7 patches is a huge deal. This little synth may be small but it packs huge features. 6 operator engine with a menu system that is easy to understand and use even though it is based in a single line LED display.You can edit , load and save up to 32 presets at a time. You can transfer patches from freeware like Dexed.The sequencer and arp are simple and fun to use. The keyboard is actually easy to use. You can connect an external midi keyboard. You can sync it with other volca devices.Build quality is actually very good for a plastic box. Batteries add weight and make it feel solid. Battery life is good. There is a built in speaker however it really does not give you a real feel for this synth.Hook this up to a pair of headphones or an amp and it comes alive. The built in chorus adds depth. If you add a reverb to the mix this thing becomes a religious experience.You will not be disappointed.

Si tienes varios Volca, este mezclador es un "must". Yo lo uso junto a un Volca Bass y dos Volca Sample y va genial: que puedas sincronizarlos con él y controlar desde el mezclador algunos parámetros globales es genial. Pero lo mejor de todo es poder alimentar la energía de los 4 dispositivos con una única toma de corriente. Con lo que te ahorras en poner otros 3 enchufes y las funcionalidades extra que te da más allá de ser un mezclador, es que se amortiza solo.

Este sinte es una bestia, sin más.Es complicado de usar, y sobre todo está tan plagado de menús y submenús que al principio te harás un lío, pero si no quieres adentrarte en el diseño de sonido, y sólo quieres hacer música, con una interfaz midi puedes pasarle infinidad de parches creados por la comunidad.En serio, junto al Drum, éste tiene que ser el Volca más potente.

Justo lo que buscaba. Si tienes dudas puedes revisar videos en youtube de personas usando el korg volca, hay miles. Tengo el Korg Volca Sample y juntando los 2 lo paso genial creando melodías/beats. Muy bueno para principiantes.

Il Korg Volca Mix è un mixer analogico a 3 (2 mono 1 Stereo) +1 canali delle stesse dimensioni di tutta la serie Volca.È l'unico della serie Volca che non suona ma ha alcune caratteristiche che mi hanno convinto all'acquisto, non ultimo il prezzo, inferiore agli altri della stessa serie.- La prima caratteristica secondo me fondamentale è che può alimentare 3 altri Volca, nella confezione infatti sono presenti 3 cavetti che prendono l'energia dal mixer e la distribuiscono. Considerando un prezzo medio di 10-15 euro ad alimentatore già avrete risparmiato ben 45 euro. (Impensabile usare 8*3=24 batterie per 3 Volca a mio avviso) Ovviamente è compreso l'alimentatore originale Korg per il mixer.- La seconda caratteristica è che funge da master clock; sincronizza tutti gli altri Volca e il tempo è ovviamente regolabile.Questo avviene grazie ai 3 cavetti sync compresi nella confezione (Altri soldi risparmiati!)Le altre caratteristiche sono ben note, il controllo dei canali che include Lo/Hi Cut, Send Level, Mute, Volume (aumento di +6dB) Effetti Stereo sul volume Master e un compressore (Dynamics, Speed). La funzione Mute in particolare potrebbe risultare utile a chi fa dei live e permette di silenziare uno, due o tutti i Volca con la semplice pressione di un tasto retroilluminato (Utile al buio dei locali).Come per tutta la serie l'assemblaggio e le finiture sono eccellenti, è nero satinato molto elegante anche se io lo avrei preferito bianco ma attualmente non esiste.
