Volca Shootout! Drum vs Beats, Sample, Kick

Published on Apr 28, 2019 Hyperobjeckt Synths

"Now that the Korg Volca Drum is out, there are four Volca percussion options to choose from. Each of them is very different from the others, which can be confusing if you're not familiar with the Volca line.

This is a simple comparison between the four, using the same sequences played on each synth or sampler. I'm also using performance effects unique to each Volca including Stutter on the beats, Isolators on the sample, Touch FX on the kick, and Wave Guide on the drum.

For a "no talking" demo you can skip straight to the music:
00:00 R&B pattern comparison
03:00 Disco
05:07 Reggae
08:41 Funk
12:04 R&B pattern again, with all four Volcas at once

There are of course a LOT more differences between these machines once you start getting into specific features & workflow, but I want to keep this video short and high-level. If you're thinking about getting one of these for yourself, the best thing to do is try them in person of course!"
