Patch of the Week 71: volca bass Modular-Style Polyrhythms

Korg

"7/16 time? Sure, why not. volca bass can do up to three time signatures to create polyrhythms that expand beyond the 16 steps."

Patch of the Week 58: Minimal jam setup - feat. volca modular + NTS-1 + volca sample

Published on May 15, 2020 Korg

"Using volca modular to create analog bass that cuts through in a mix and NTS-1 for it's pristine stereo effects, we create a simple minimal jam setup with the volca sample providing percussion samples."

Patch of the Week 56: volca modular + SQ1 Duophony

Published on May 1, 2020 Korg

"Looping the second function on volca modular is a way to have a second (somewhat temperamental) oscillator/sound source that can be sequenced via an external sequencer."

Patch of the Week 31: minilogue xd + volca modular – external modulation patching

Published on Nov 9, 2019 Korg

"Users have been asking how to take modulation signals out of the Korg volca modular- well in this video we connect signals out of volca modular into the CV control voltage inputs on xd to modulate its parameters using volca modular’s modulation sources."

Patch of the Week 27: volca modular + contact microphone/external audio

Published on Oct 12, 2019 Korg

"We combine volca modular with a mutable ears module to show how users can use external gates and envelopes to trigger volca modular's internal functions, as well as sending audio into volca modular through its CV input, in this case, using a cup of water and applying volca modular’s internal reverb."

Patch of the Week 26: volca modular into mutable clouds

Published on Oct 5, 2019 Korg

"We run volca modular into a mutable instruments clouds module, which provides texture and some beautiful time based effects. This video also shows how to use simple alligator clips that can be found at any electronics store or online to take modulation information out of a volca modular and patch it directly into a eurorack module to modulate parameters on, in this instance, the mutable clouds."

Patch of the Week 25: volca modular + eurorack pitch quantization

Published on Sep 28, 2019 Korg

"Using the Blue Lantern Duo Quantize, the 2HP LFO, and the Intellijel uVCA, we send quantized pitch information into volca modular’s CV input. This is a way of sending external pitch information into volca modular from a eurorack source, because volca modular will scale eurorack volts/octave pitch control voltage into its internal voltage via its CV input"
