General
In 2013, Korg released three Volca units: a bass synth, a drum synth and a general synth, all typical instruments for (live) EDM. With the Volca Sample, Korg has added a sample sequencer to the Volca family. You can instantly tell from its name that the Volca Sample was designed to play back samples. There are 100 pre-programmed samples for you to get started with - all of which can be overwritten - but you can also import new samples by means of an iOS app that enables you to use recordings from your iPad or iPhone.
Synthesis and Sequencing with the Korg Volca
Calling the Volca Sample a mere sample player would sell it short - you can get tremendously creative with this product! It basically serves as a modest synthesizer, as the eleven knobs in the middle of the control panel allow you to change the essential characteristics of your sounds. There's also a step sequencer, where you can adjust and register the eleven synthesis parameters. Combining the parameters and the sequencer will get you astonishing results for sure.
Additional Features
The Volca Sample's multi-touch keyboard lets you play melodies with a maximum polyphony of eight voices, and a reverb (per part) adds a spacious quality. There's an analogue isolator, which is basically an equalizer that controls the bass and trebles, leaving the mids as they are. Of course you'll want to use the Volca Sample in combination with your other Volca models. To that end, Korg has fitted the device with sync connectors. The sample sequencer can be powered by batteries (6 AA batteries are included), which means you can unleash your musical creativity wherever you go.
Tips or comments about this productPlease note:
- While a power supply (DC 9V) does not come included, six AA batteries have been included.
- For editing and importing samples, you can use Caustic, an editor made by Single Cell Software that is available for Windows, OS X, iOS and Android.

- samples inladen gaat stroef
-bass en treble knoppen staan zeer los
voor de rest een supersampler
Het fijne aan de volca sample is dat hij zeer robuust aanvoelt. De knoppen voelen stevig, de behuizing is solide en geeft het gevoel dat die wel wat stootjes kan hebben.
Verder is de volca sample zeer makkelijk in het gebruik. Ik ben nog een groentje in het gebruik van dit soort apparaten maar had hem binnen een klein uur al wel helemaal onder de knie.
Het uploaden van nieuwe samples in je volca sample is ook vrij gemakkelijk. (ik heb YouTube er even bijgehaald en binnen een half uur was alles geregeld)
Al met al een heel gaaf apparaat.
Kan niet wachten om te gaan uitbreiden met de rest van de volca series
Super intuitif , une lecture de notice est conseillée mais si vous avez manipulé du matériel de sons ainsi que des logiciels la prise en main est rapide.
Voilà je suis dans la découverte de ce produit que je ne regrette pas de l'avoir acheté.
Et j'irais certainement plus loin en achetant toute la gamme car une fois les instruments combinés, je pense qu'il y a d'infinies possibilités pour laisser place à la création et au live.
and a thumbs up for bax-shop, fast delivery and great prices!
Top voor m'n volca collectie.
(kleur wit spreekt me niet zo aan)
Razendsnel binnen. Niks op aan te merken. Altijd vertrouwd bestellen bij Bax.
Dit apparaat laat jou simpele manier beats creëren en geeft jou de mogelijkheid om heel basaal kennis te maken met bijvoorbeeld: samples, ritme, decay en step-scene.
De samples zijn niet van erg hoge kwaliteit, maar dit apparaat is ook niet gemaakt voor opname.
Heb dit jaar deze synthesizer als beginner gekocht. Heb er onwijs veel plezier van gehad. Ik wilde graag beginnen aan de hobby, maar wist niet zeker of het wat voor mij was.
Ben nu bezig met het bouwen van m'n eigenen studio.
Kortom, niet mijn eerste keus, maar wel heel bruikbaar!
De beperkingen, zoals bvb de sequencer met zijn 16 steps en maar 100 samples, zijn eerder een voordeel dewelke uitdagen tot creativiteit.
Jammer dat het uploaden van samples zo omslachtig is en niet steeds werkt via de speaker van je telefoon.
Erg leuk om drones mee te maken, beats te knutselen en zelfs volledige songs. De RK002 midi kabel unlocked nog meer potentieel van het zeer draagbare toestel
