The volca series has shed new light on classic technologies by linking classic sound engines such as the groove machines and early samplers of the past with the dance music of today. Now it’s time for the series to gain an FM sound engine.
The volca fm is a three-voice digital FM synthesizer that completely reproduces the sound engine of a classic FM synthesizer, and provides compatibility with it as well. The unique volca interface makes it easy to manipulate distinctive FM sounds even if you’re not familiar with the complexities of FM synthesis. The 16-step sequencer that’s one of volca’s features provides new functions such as WARP ACTIVE STEP and PATTERN CHAIN that let you make even more powerful rhythm patterns.
3-voice polyphonic FM synthesizer, fully compatible with classic unit
The appearance of FM (Frequency Modulation) sound generation was a major turning point in the history of synthesizers. Its metallic and sharp sounds, most notably electric piano and synth bass, have been loved by all music creators since 1980 up to the present time. The volca fm perfectly reproduces the sound engine of the classic digital synthesizer that made the world aware of FM synthesis. Its six operators and 32 algorithms provide complete compatibility, and it can even load files in the SYS-EX/SYX format of the Yamaha DX7.
Super-easy sound editing
The volca fm makes FM sound editing accessible with the MODULATOR/CARRIER super-easy edit knobs. The knob movements are mapped to multiple parameters for sound changes that are easy to understand. FM enthusiasts can also menu dive into full parameter edits. The volca f

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…
