r/volcas

Mine arrived today, and the tube sound honestly feels amazing.

You can really hear the character once the resonance is high and you push the saturation and level a bit.
Honestly, I think it feels easier to use than the regular Volca Bass, and the sound naturally leans more toward acid which is super fun.

That said, the 3VCO setup on the Bass is still incredible too.
I’m still a beginner, but I feel like the Bass really shines for more ambient or mysterious stuff.

The problem is… my gear collection is starting to get out of control now 😅
I’m genuinely running out of space.

I almost sold my Bass, but decided to keep it for when I want to make more atmospheric sounds.

For the people who own both the Bass and the Nubass — how do you personally use them differently?

A video compilation of another jam session using my jamstation. I went outside at 10:00 PM to film the video. With a touch of overdrive and delay, the dense sound of MicroFreak cuts through the rumble of traffic. The duet of Freak and Korg Volca Drum demonstrates the vast possibilities of digital synthesis, and Loopy Pro frees your eyes and fingers from all unnecessary distractions and invites you to embark on a special nighttime journey. Unexpected encounters are possible...

Hi, I'm looking to replace/cover the knobs of my volcas. The see-through white plastic ones are nice, but the positions aren't exactly readable. I'd like to read how far closed or open the knobs are. On top of that, the current knobs are a bit too fiddly

Anyone experience with this? Manufacturers?

Just wondering if anyone can confirm if this is expected behaviour, or if my Keys is acting up. To recreate the issue, you need to be in unison, octave or fifth, and with flux switched off. Examples:

• I have an arppegiator sequence of 16 notes, flux switched off. If I hold FUNC+ERASE on the 8th note, it deletes both the 8th and the 9th.
• Likewise, let's say I want to change one note in the sequence. I hit record, and play a note over the 7th note. The 7th note is now the new one I played, but the 8th has now been deleted.

So basically, any change I make, the note after that change is deleted. This also goes for changes to the 16th note - the 1st is then deleted. This makes changes impossible when not in poly

This doesn't happen in poly modes or with flux turned on. Do other people's Volca Keys behave this way? Is there some technicality here that I'm overlooking? Am I maybe just going about the task of changing a note the wrong way?

Hello I have a few questions

Is it possible to export samples and sequences in memory from volca sample 1?

If I change the firmware for pajen will it erase all my sample and memory?

Where can I find sample packs?

Do you manage to make song with only 10 memory of 16 steps??

I d like to do some darkpsy or psycore is it possible with a volca sample or am I totally delusional??

Hi everyone!

I got a Sample 2 (which I really enjoy) and I'm looking to fill up a rack of 4. Now it's time for decisions and I seek your wisdom.

If you had to choose three out of all the Volcas (excluding Sample), which would you pick to cover the most ground?

On another note, the Volca Mix looks like a nice tool to manage the whole thing, but is it worth it or should I save this space on the rack for another instrument Volca?

I'm also planning on getting a Minilogue xd soon so that might also play into the equation...

Thanks!

On the Volca Beats/Bass if I load a bank, the pattern will immediately switch mid-measure. Does Volca Sample work this way, or does it queue up the pattern for step 1 of the next measure?
