SonicLAB: Korg Volca FM


Published on Apr 22, 2016 sonicstate

"The Volca FM is the latest addition to the Korg Volca family, this little guy gives you 3 voices of classic 6 operator FM sounds - with patch compatibility for the DX-7"

Update: at 15:14 Nick notes that the Volca FM does not respond to realtime editing via Dexed, a DX7 software emulator that transmits realtime parameter edits. I'm guessing this is not just a problem with Dexed but all external editors including those for the iPad. If this is indeed the case, this is unfortunate. I was looking forward to using the iPad to edit the Volca FM. Another question is whether you can chain two units for a six voice synth.  That would equate to a six voice DX7 for roughly $300 in a compact size with sequencer.  It is my understanding that you cannot chain them yet.  If anyone knows otherwise, please chime in.
