Even today, more than thirty years after the age dominated by analog synthesizers, we just can’t let go of the sound of analog rhythm machines. Those thick sounds have the power to stand up to guitar and acoustic drums, and are still indispensable for track-making or live performance. The volca Beats gives you those analog drums plus the easy-to-use step sequencer of the Electribe; it lets you turn your inspiration into reality and generate beats with the best high quality sounds. Following in the footsteps of the monotron, monotribe, and MS-20 Mini analog synthesizers, Korg announces the Volca series. volca is a new lineup of EDM production tools comprised of three distinct models: the Volca Keys lead synthesizer, the volca Bass synthesizer, and the Volca Beats rhythm machine. These powerful and fun-to-use true-analog devices deliver a diverse array of fat sounds that can be obtained only from an analog synthesizer. Each is also equipped with sequencing/recording capabilities for intuitively generating performances. Multiple volcas can be used in tandem via the vintage-style sync in/out, and with your favorite DAW software or MIDI keyboard via MIDI In. Battery operation and built-in speakers mean that you can conveniently play anywhere and anytime. These are the next-generation analog synthesizers, bringing you the ultimate sounds and grooves with ease and depth. Whether used together or by themselves, the volca series is poised to inject true analog power into any performance or studio setup!

Great little machine. I am amazed at how good this little unit actually is. I’ve built Roland TR-909 and 808 clones which are also very good but pricey machines, but for less than $175 including shipping I can get nearly the exact sounds I can from the big boys. I now own a Volca Beats, Bass and Digital FM and with very little experience I can make beautiful music in my little home made studio that is beyond my wildest dreams. If the Korgs stand the test of time, then I would say that they are the best little…
Great price point and functionality at the cost of compatibility (Beatstep users, take warning) I want to start off by saying that most of my negative points are not meant to discourage new users. This is absolutely the best polyphonic synth for its price point without a doubt. If you’re new and want to try your hand at analogue synthesis, this device has too much capability for too little money to pass up. This review should be seen as advice to those who already have analogue equipment (specifically midi controllers like the BSP).Let’s start with the pros:1) Great…
