Roland TR-808 vs Korg Volca Beats


Published on Jan 12, 2016 SynthMania

"I noticed there was no TR-808 / Volca Beats comparison on YouTube, so I thought of posting one for today's daily video. I know, I know... it's sort of a silly endeavor and also a bit unfair to compare a mega-classic that these days goes for $3K to a super-cute little $150 box... but I think both machines are great and each has their own unique character! I have to say, I am impressed by the whole Volca line (I recently got all four models and will be posting videos of the others soon). The bass drum on the Volca Beats is amazing, by the way!"

Needs the snare fix mods (video here, pics here).
