2 Volca Sample - Step Sequencer

[@manueltorres4687]

You saved me so much headache the instructions that come with the instrument weren’t that clear to me! Now I can have fun!!! Thanks so much!!

[@minimal.camera]

Right on, I love to hear that!

[@TheKenisokay]

Yours is the best tutorial I've found on any of the equipment I've purchased. Thank you so much. I wish I had your tutorial for all my other gear.

[@minimal.camera]

Very welcome, and thank you for the kind words! Obviously I don't have every bit of gear, but what other tutorials are you looking for?

[@onlywk]

You are the best. Korg volca sample is gonna be my next purchase, and I'm already watching video of it, yours are the best tutorial I've ever seen of any kind of machine. Really thanks for your commitment

[@minimal.camera]

Wow, thanks very much! I'm sure you'll have a blast with it!

[@laddius1]

Thank you for putting something like this together. I'm super new to this, and this is such a great step by step process to watch and learn from.

Man, to see that Im not the only one who accidentally erase their patterns this way is so relief. I have volca for few days and when this happened to me, I was looking for way to turn it back. Or at least figures out WTF just happened. But with your video I finally know, that this is actually something to be very careful with. You can loose your couple hours work in one damned second :D Thanks.!

[@isaiahmello6630]

Hey man, I just got done with your first video. I got a volca sample today, shipped to guitar center in San Diego. Super excited and already making some interesting sounds on it. I see that these are recent videos on a new looking channel. Just so you know, you have an interested viewer so keep the content coming! Thanks for the tutorials.

[@minimal.camera]

Thank you! Hope you have a blast with it! Share what you create, I would love to hear it!

I put electric tape on the bottom front face and put little X marks under the 1,5,9 and 13 to mark 4 on the floor.

The best tutorial, thank you🌹❤🙏

[@iosmusicman]

This is so good for people starting out with volcas (and in this case the sample). I’m going right back to basics having seen this. Thanks. Lee

[@carlosserrano15]

Amazing videos thanks so much!

[@korla]

Very good. Thank you.

[@jaimeross7507]

We subd Your channel from this one vid....GREAT Tutorial!!!!!!!!!

[@tzodearf2596]

I like the bucket idea. I'll use graph paper.

[@wighatsuperreggie]

You are providing a service to humanity... thanks so much. Even electronics in music are everything evil on this planet, I've decided to come to the dark side...

[@minimal.camera]

Thank you, happy to help! The dark side has cookies...

[@Ryanez93]

Thank you 🙏

[@Ryanez93]

For that "Bucket idea" (An eye opener!)

[@tommyg8142]

This video is great! But I don't understand how you're getting those sounds. I need a good drum kit but it doesn't appear to have one. Do I need to load a drum kit in or where can I download one?

[@minimal.camera]

You can swap out the sounds. There's a lot of great free sample packs over at www.reddit.com/r/VolcaSamples/ You can also load any WAV file you want, use Vosyr for the original Volca Sample or the official KORG app for the Volca Sample 2.

[@BPEMETO]

Hi! : ) I wonder if you can help me confirm a thing ... There is something with my Volca ( or it's that way on all volca Sample 2 ) ... I have a pattern with some muted samples. When I use the "solo" function, it does what it does, but after I turn the "solo" off, all parts are unmuted automatically. I want the muted to stay muted, but may be that's how the Sample 2 works ? : )

[@minimal.camera]

Sorry I don't know, I haven't used the Sample 2!

[@reconnections_]

Great, thanks! How did you change speed on notes of particular sample? :)

[@minimal.camera]

The speed knob (which could also be labeled as the 'pitch' knob). If you want the speed/pitch to change over the course of your sequence you can use motion recording for this. Enable motion recording, play the sequence, and tweak the speed knob while it is playing. If you install Pajen's firmware on a Volca Sample V1 (not V2), you can play the samples chromatically from an external keyboard, and even create polyphony!

[@flix3o3]

2:20 🤣

[@CourneliusX]

This is the Volca sample version 1 right?

[@minimal.camera]

Correct. The V2 has a microUSB port on the front panel, and the knobs on the left are black instead of grey. The contents of this video should be the same for both though, they both have the same sequencer.

[@CourneliusX]

@@minimal.camera so you can’t create samples on this with a mic, huh? You have to use an external device to record then transfer the file into the volca sample?

[@minimal.camera]

@@CourneliusX The Volca Sample doesn't have a mic, it is a sample player. So yes, you need to use an external device to create and transfer the sounds.
