Korg Volca Modular - Log

video upload by TheTrackdriver

"A little jam with a Korg Volca Modular, Teenage Engineering TX-6 and a chase Bliss Mood mkII. The Mood is connected to the TX-6 as an external effect. I'm using the TX-6 as a mixer, drum machine and synthesizer."

Dub Techno w/ KORG wavestate & volca modular | Panic Zone Incident 2026-07-25 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A dub techno piece where complex sound textures intertwine.

This work features the wavestate, volca modular, and OP-1 field.

On the wavestate, synth pad sounds are performed and processed through the MOOD MKII. Layered micro loops create dense and complex sound textures.

On the OP-1 field, the DBOX engine generates glitchy percussion sequenced with the ENDLESS sequencer. The CWO effect adds modulation delay, while the MOTHER effect applies gated reverb.

The bassline uses an FM-style bass sound from Omnisphere. The kick and clap sounds use Ableton Sampler.

The volca modular is used without patch cables, with its original sound shaped through parameter editing. It is synchronized with the wavestate through the MSY2, which converts MIDI clock into an appropriate synchronization signal. The volca modular output is processed through the NIGHTSKY with filtering and reverb."

Energy Field by Reductionist

via Nick Wilson of Clan Analogue: "I'm touching base about a new release from Australian electronic music collective Clan Analogue by the Melbourne artist Reductionist. I thought it might be of interest to you as a release made entirely with cheap Korg gear, specifically the Monotron, Monotron Duo and Volca Modular.

The release is a two-track single called 'Energy Field'."

From BandCamp:

[before the Big Bang and the beginning of time…]

"There was no matter. All that existed was space/time and energy. An ocean of energy, almost still but gently rippling. A near still ocean of energy filling the void." Brian Cox, Universe (BBC, 2021)

Reductionist explores the wavefolding of time and space using battery-powered technologies and microvirtuosic technique with the debut release Energy Field.

Reductionist utilises the humblest of ephemeral technologies, including battery-powered micro-instruments, forgotten music tech products, and cheap effect pedals, to express through sound the vastest concepts that we, as humans, can attempt to comprehend.

The title track is inspired by the idea of an immeasurable energy field, theorised to have existed before the Big Bang, with the entire Universe lying dormant, waiting to emerge into existence…

The new single also includes the extended companion piece “Energy Field Refolding”. Could the Universe refold into itself as an energy field once again? Humans are attracted to the idea of rebirth - perhaps we need to imagine that existence will always continue in some form.

Reductionist is the solo project for electronic music artist Nick Wilson, whose previous work has included Random Acts of Elevator Music, Darrow, Tiatto, City Frequencies and Continuum. Nick has also been the Label Manager for Australia’s longest-running electronic music collective Clan Analogue over the last twenty years. In 2025 Reductionist and multimedia artist Aday collaborated on the MacroVerse collaborative performances at the Abbotsford Convent, which were nominated for the Best In Music category at the 2025 Melbourne Fringe Awards.

“Energy Field” is the first track to be released from the forthcoming Reductionist album MacroVerse. Prepare for existence and experience Energy Field.

released June 9, 2026

You can find addtional details on the release at Clan Analogue.

Korg Volca performance Yarnbay Quartet

video upload by Veli-Matti Rautio

"Today Volca session with four Volcas. There were Bass, Beats, FM2 and Modular. Bass 16 steps self-made sequence, Beats also 16 steps self-made drum pattern and Modular 96 steps self-made sequence. FM2 lead playing with sound called Yarnbay with chorus and reverb. Korg microKONTROL midi keys to FM2. Roland Go: Mixer Pro analog mixing desk and Sony FDR-AX43A video camera. Composed, played, arranged and improvised by me in Studio Tupos upstairs livinroom's glass table 23.3.2026.Nr. 1539.

Sessio alkoi Volca Modularilla, tein siihen ensin kuusi 16 stepin sekvenssiä ja yhdistin ne. Sitten mukaan tuli Volca Bass, siihen tein simppelin 16 steppisen bassosekvenssin ja kolmantena tuli Beats, johon tein 16 steppisen rumpukuvion. Ajattelin ensin soittaa soolon Bassilla, mutta päätin ottaa mukaan neljänneksi FM2:n, se hoiteli soolon. Soolosoundina Yarnbay choruksen ja reverbin kera. Volca kvartetti oli kasassa ja eikun tekemään videota : ) Midikiippariksi FM2:lle otin Korg microKONTROL-kiipparin. Mukana myös Roland Go: Mixer Pro ja Sony FDR-AX43A. Yläkerran olkkarin lasipöydällä tämäkin esitys valmistui."

"Saturday musical session with Volca Modular & Six-Trak. Volca Modular self-made 16 steps sequence with pots adjustments and Six-Trak sound 41, two voice bass pad with Strymon Mobius chorus. Roland Go:Mixer Pro mixing desk and Sony FDR-AX43A video camera. Composed, played, arranged and improvised by me in Studio Tupos upstairs living room 7.3.2026. Nr. 1521. Last Friday was quite nice, got both Volca Modular and Six-track in same day : ) Eilen oli varsin mukava päivä, posti toi ensin Volca Modularin ja kohta sen jälkeen tuli tieto, että Six-Trak on haettavissa Limingan postista : ) Tänään lauantaina tein Volca Modularilla ja Six-Trakilla pienen esityksen. Modulariin tein 16 steppisen sekvenssin ja säätelin potikoita, Six-Trakin soundina oli 41, kaksiääninen bassopad. Six-Trakissa oli Strymon Mobius yhdistettynä choruksella. Roland Go:Mixer Pro miksasi ja Sony FDR-AX43A kuvasi."

Mother Lode synth meetup #3 Pics

A few pics from the latest Mother Lode Synth Meetup sent my way via Brian Comnes.

You can find the full set here.

That's Brian Comnes with the Buchla Music Easel.

Below is Mark Vail, author of Vintage Synthesizers and The Synthesizer with the Beetlecrab Tempura.

Small group shot further below. Be sure to see the full set for more.

P.S. Brian also had an iPad with the following to say: "Had fun showing Textquencer app , it converts text to midi notes, quite the sequencer, the letter A is the root note. I used our mailing list as the source text 😁. It’s also good with foreign languages with a lot of vowels like Hawaiian or Native American sources.

I also think Igor Vasiliev’s GLITCHSCAPER app for percussion is great, certainly not an 808/909 cliche"

Also: "in that picture I did an a/b comparison between the $5k Easel and the $200 KORG [Volca] modular with midi hack, and IMHO the KORG did pretty good😛"

Volca Modular - How To Make Square Wave PWM Noise - Advanced Tips & Tricks

video upload by ChrisLody

"Here's a bunch of tips to get a bit more out of the Korg Volca Modular. Using the gate input of Function 1 you can create square, pulse and pwm sounds as well as making shapeable noise and use the woggle at audio rate.

Patch cards for the stages along the way are available here and now include a version with an LFO sent to pulse width that uses a smoothed version of the gate as a simple envelope:

Korg Ms-20 - True Duophonic Patches (without the wonk!)

video upload by ChrisLody

"I picked up a Korg MS-20 Mini recently because a friend was selling on (Hi John) and I've been nerding out with the patch bay. I already own the plugin as part of the Korg Collection but I've always wanted a hardware MS-20 of some description so this has been a long time coming!

Funny story, I've been looking around the internet since I got it looking for patch tips and general information, some of which has been really useful but I thought there might be more to learn than what I was seeing. So started searching for a good book on the subject and yeah there is a good book. Patch and Tweak with Korg, which I wrote and article about the Volca Modular and Korg MS-10 for and already own 🙄 I'm a bit slow sometimes!"
