"This video includes so tips, tricks, hacks and patch ideas.

"Here's my original Volca Modular tips and tricks video: [below]

Here's my Volca Modular patch sheets: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/32jz5c...

0:00 Intro
1:23 Waveshaping
2:05 Quick and dirty waveshaping
2:55 Source crosstalk (Mod & Fold controls on modulator source oscillator)
4:40 Mini breadboard idea
5:20 Quick and dirty waveshaping method 2
7:00 Modulator source wonkiness
9:18 Func 2 as saw oscillator
(I should have mentioned here that using the lower CV output socket with nothing connected to the CV socket gives different result which may also be useful)
11:50 Func 2 as pulse oscillator
12:32 Ratio fine control

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!"

$50 Roland System 700 - first video of this massive classic vintage synth modular beast

video upload by Jay Wires

"What do you think of this Roland System 700 I just found at a flea market for $50? The elderly couple I bought it from was using it as a coffee table when their cat wasnt sleeping on it.

Here’s the first sound I made on it using just the main cabinet (sequenced by korg sq1 and drums by volca beats). ​⁠@tonetweakers will begin the restoration process this week, but the next few weeks will be spent making space for it cause not even an undisputed world champion Synth Tetris master like me can fit this much synth into a NYC synth cave without getting rid of a bunch of stuff.

please check out my music. jaywires.com for all the links. Synth love from NYC ❤️"

#jamuary2024 12 Ripplemaker ('Buchla Easel') & Korg Volca Modular (Mini 'Buchla')

video upload by SynthAddict

"Time for some 'west coast' synth action...

Enjoy the wierd, wacky, and sometimes noisy timbres from Buchla-style digital synthesis with complex oscillators, wavefolding, etc.

The Volca Modular is running a modified Krell patch.
Krell patch is a generative style patch based on the amazing sound design from Louis and Bebe Barron for Forbidden Planet in 1956, where the characters discover the old Krell civilization."

Bad Gear - cre8audio West Pest

video upload by AudioPilz

"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the cre8audio West Pest. Is this affordable semi modular analog synthesizer and hommage to Don Buchla 's West Coast synthesis The Pest? Can it keep up with competitors like the Korg Volca Modular, is it worth it without adding even more Eurorack modules and can it create the strange sounds of the antithesis to Bob Moog 's East Coast synthesis? Should I get the cre8audio East Beast instead?"

And one with the Korg Volca FM through an Alesis Nanoverb:

I put my Korg Volca FM through an Alesis Nanoverb. #korgvolcaFM #eurorack #alesis


"I picked up a Nanoverb off Ebay for 45 quid.
The hall settings have amazing long reverbs.

Imagine how incredible the Volca FM would have been if it came with reverb built in. An amazing ambient machine.

I have a rack mount Alesis Microverb 4 in my Eurorack Modular synth that produces a lot of great effects."
