"Rich Formidoni from Korg USA stopped by to give us an overview of the Korg volca series of portable analog grooveboxes, which marry analog sound engines with onboard sequencers derived from Korg's Electribe music production stations.
Korg volca beats is a rhythm sequencer with an analog sound source at the core. It achieves the classic tone essential to dance music with a thick sound that´s distinctive of analog hardware. By further incorporating four lo-fi PCMs to control the playback speed, it can express the coarse graininess that transcends its intrinsic digital concept. The sequencer is constructed so that it emphasizes the spontaneity of adding and removing parts as well as pattern editing. In addition, it opens up possibilities for live performance with pattern effects, such as stutter.
Korg volca bass is an analog bassline groovebox. Detuning the three oscillators achieves the deep, modulating characteristics of analog sound. Furthermore, the combination of the envelope generator with the traditional 12 dB/oct low-pass filter used on the miniKORG 700S allows you to create hard acid house sounds with tones similar to those of a bass guitar. In addition, separately playing the three oscillators of the sequencer allows you to create sequences that combine the bass and lead parts as well as chord-like loops.
The volca keys is a 27-key analog lead synthesizer with built-in delay effects. You can enjoy wide-ranging synthesis, from chord playing or a crisp-sounding lead line detuned with unison, which are achieved by using the three VCOs, to a metallic sound using ring modulation. In addition, the sequencer's Flux function allows you to create loops with a groove not tied to steps. Knob adjustments can also be recorded so that resulting tone changes become a part of the loop."
