I love this little box, it's my fav Volca (along with the Sample 2). I find being careful with the decay (and to some degree snappy) makes for good snare sounds.

The MicroBrute Is a toy compared to the Korg Monologue! You didn't show the Capabilities Of the Monologue because you have your head up your ass with the TOY MicroBrute All you are doing is making some stupid noises with one Synth and never touched the Korg? this is not a VS video ,this is a no talent assclown video! JFS ! Learn to play THEN get back to a video!

It just has a kick sound?!!?!

lol lame

Sounds correct to me. I am ordering both of them. I have the Sample and Fm already. Thank you for the comparison testing. Sold!

John spent years talking gear. Dropped one dope music video and immediately retired from the game. 😂

How are you John?

Bass 🤙🏻

We need a vol2 on these. JohnG revisits rhythm wolf and Tom cat

You still using it alot?

Come down stairs and get your tea johnny and dont forget your earphones annd your hi fi dac ! 😂🏠🦊❤

Your the man! 🏠🦊👍

the only video on youtube that actually explains how this works, thank you!

have you found anything to make this thing sound better? like maybe sampling it to the sp404 or an sp1200 or an mpc?

Red and gold is the best colour combination. The coin technique is perfect as well. But my beard is my greyer than yours, so I win that one!

volca bass with delay would be so dope---maybe hook up a delay pedal to it somehow?

DELAY?!?!?! I already have the Volca Bass and am loving it. But the moment you said DELAY and tapped some keys, I made an offer on one of these! Eventually I want a compact drum machine...so far the Roland TR-6S is the most tempting but the price is more than double the Volca units 😢 Any recommendations? Love your thoughtful and entertaining vid, comrade. "PLEASE HOLD. THE CUSTOMER YOU HAVE DIALED WILL NOT PAY THE BILL." 😂 PS. Your horror movie improvised sequence was incredible. Sold me so hard on this crazy keys machine...I usually make horror-filmish tunes so this thing looks perfect!!!!! I hope you record that one and put it out someday!!!!

Bring back gearchat U

John, amazing review. Thank you. Keep going.

Fix it. Solve it. Make it what you wanna' make it. Subbed because of that. Words to live by. LOVE this cat!

Gorgeous piece of kit and is a beast! Just needs the right hands. I love mine. It gets even better with FX. Great vid. Love your passion mate! It's a different beast with it's own style and voice. Harness the power and get creative. Amazing MIDI controller as well. Many people slept on this.

I know I'm late as h, but this is such a dope review. You got me about to order one of these right now. My only question is, have you used this with a midi keyboard or midi pads? How does it translate as far as the things like velocity sensitivity/accents and portamento slides?

Really hope you are ok John, missing your vids bro

This is the best video on the Volca Kick....HANDSDOWN!

This is the best review of the volca kick! Man loves his kick! I've bought one. Can't wait...

No need to do this comparison either.....The Sample(s)...1 or 2 are the most versatile Volca's full stop. Also ....They ARE samplers....EVERY sampler you have to put samples in...

hah nice one brother ...i just ordered one as a first analoog synth ,,cant wait to play with it and start to make some kiks!!!

Literally..^^

Wtf is this?

I was judging all the volcas by whichever is the most diabolocal sounding and you've made a very compelling case, thank you mysterious hooded sorcerer

Which has more phat focused sub bass?

Dawg, for a moment there, I seriously thought you was gonna bust a nut! Too funny... I just purchased one to add to my Volca collection and you are right, the snare on the beats sucks arse. Great video by the way.

Thanks 👍 exactly what I wanted to know. Have a keys and know that I don't need a bass now

Just got it threw my front door.. it's such a huge machine ... that said korg being part of Yamaha or whatever it's no surprise . I just bought one second hand and guarantee off a reputable guitar store and I can't wait till I put it with my o8 roland and monologue .. I got a few other gizmos but mid life doesn't mean stop the technics or skating .. a new chapter for me my friend . Bless

I'm just starting with these machines I have a rhythm wolf and would love to ask some questions

Yo brother thanks for the video

Keys will be perfect for my Industrial project.

JohnG! Please tell me you still have the Wolf!! Dude, I bought one because it IS a future classic!

You just made me buy it

I will make some industrial bass with the Korg Volca Kick! 🔥🎛🔥

when i see you came to the mirror and when i ear your first two words i said: ok, i have to subscribe absolutely. next week i'm gonna have my volca kick.

I bought the volca drums, sample 2 and now the bass. In my opinion the drums is kinda hard to learn but has major super potential. The sample 2 is soooo easy to learn even a tard like me could do it and make some killer sounds right away. The volca bass will be at my front door in hours, hurry up fedx. Check out zZounds for good deals / play now pay later. 👍👍

I think they are very independent in usefulness. My best advice is buy them all. At only $100'ish range why not .. Lol 👍😆👍

Hi John! I was thinking about you recently. Is this the last video you posted? I hope you are well. Drop a note to let us know if you can. Praying for Jesus’ blessings upon you.

Man, thanks for telling us straight away and please let me let you know, that glowing mirror + hoodie-combo looks badass

upvote or downvote, was this guy high as mofuckka during this vid? i love his style.

El capitan numero Uno!🔥

Awesome review brother. What do you think the best combo of volcas would be to deliver some hard sounding rhythms?

come back John G!!!

“This is basically a Synthesizer”. 🤣🤣🤣
