Guys can we be honest. When ever you see ANY of those youtubers that got gifted the korg FM (and now that new elektron.....) Is anyone excited? our subscription box FILLS with nothing but one synth. Most of these music youtubers dont even post content UNLESS its a literal Ad for a synth. You see a BadGear you want to watch it. The fact you didnt get gifted one means you are doing something right.

You're unironically a great salesman for the synth industry. I'm a guitarist who never owned any synth hardware and can barely use a daw, and I just bought a dx7 IIFD because of your videos. It has a broken key so I got it super cheap, but you basically memed me into buying it. It's leaning in the corner of my room right now like a huge black metal monolith. It frightens me, tbh.

A good start to my workday, for sure. It's a timely vid considering the release of the FM2. Seems cool and it at least it has MIDI Out. Hopefully the other volcas get the same treatment...except the beats. But as always you manage to make even bad gear sound good. It's all about what you do with it.

The volca bass arguably already had a refresh with the nubass. It’s quite different because you can’t control 3 voices independently in the sequencer but as an acid bass synth it’s better imo.

It's always been in my mind that bad or good instruments don't exist, it's just learning to listen to the music it makes instead of the sounds it produces and your reviews just encapsulate that idea 120%. I have plenty of experience with guitars, acoustic drums and tube amps but my synth knowledge is severely limited, so I'm not bogged down with any colloquial popularity or hatred towards certain brands or products. Pretty much all this "bad gear" sounds amazing to me in the jams you make because you have this uncanny ability to apply the idea that sound needs a context to be meaningful or beautiful.

I was your 13th subscriber here, watched literally every episode, and always strongly wished you success with this because I've always thought that this kind of unique approach like yours is what "the scene" was missing since like forever. It's bitterly needed like a fresh breeze in the desert. It's just almost evident and very much alright that people are naturally distancing you from the many Random Synthguys on the Tube. You're not even playing in the same league in terms of content and quality. I'm just so proud of you; it's been amazing to watch how the channel evolved from its start. And I'm still feeling the same refreshing interest when a new episode is coming like on day one I can tell you.

You work TEN TIMES as hard as the other gear review channels. Your videos are fun to watch, honest and amazingly informative, considering you pack in about one joke per every five seconds. But gear makers will never jump onboard as long as "bad" is in the title. How about "Sick Gear," "Dope Gear" or"Fire Gear?" Maybe those names are dumb enough to attract manufacturers. Don't change. Keep going. Maybe though you could have a 2nd YT channel where you did "Bad Gear" reviews on EVERYTHING! Drones, phones, lawn mowers, .... Anything.

The Volca FM is what got me into synths pretty much, being a big fan of the MegaDrive music. I love that little box. I upgraded to a Digitone but I still have the V-FM hooked up to the Dude with my NTS and a Sample 2 for smaller jams.

Ah well, The reason you haven't received one from their marketing department is probably because you've got about 63K subscribers. The consistent quality of your tests and presentations, not to mention music (actual use) is that of a 1+ million subs channel and above, often way better, so they don't go by quality of content sadly - but rather the number of subscribers. And youtube has become a very hard place to grow. I worked in marketing for years, and we always worked like crazy to find out what was the "magic" behind certain youtubers success, if we knew that algorithm, we'd be the most powerful media company in the world, and no AD bureau that I know of can do that yet, you never know what will go viral or push the buttons of the next gen of viewers. But one thing you can count on - is that your loyal audience will always come back for more, and maybe that will be good enough, I hope you get enough patrons to keep going. Thanks for your almost Duracell-Bunny like stamina and endurance, we appreciate you.

The Volca FM firmware is severely broken when loading patches: Korg misinterprets certain data as operator mutes. It's an incompetent, showstopper mistake. I had to work around it when building support in Edisyn. Fortunately the pajen firmware fixes it. No one should use the FM without pajen firmware: one wonders what Korg screwed up in the FM 2.

I got one of these babies since a while ago, and while it's good, I found out my Reface DX ends up producing much better music (music, not sound). Though it's more limited in Operator size, it sounds... better for some reason. I'm not sure if it's due to it having chorus, delay and all that already in the same unit, but I tend to gravitate to the Reface DX a lot more. Also, please cover the Roland System-1! People seem to hate it due to it's aira green and not being an analog SH-101 but it's so good as a standalone synth.

The best Volca, that is right until Volca FM 2 hits the market en masse. Just for the sake of its beautiful pads and massive basses (pro tip: find any Harp patch, download it via Dexed and simple USB-MIDI interface, pitch it 2 octaves down and booom!). And it's much more tweakable than DX 7!

IMO Tats outdone himself with that dark chocolate box, pity he's not onboard Korg's spaceship anymore. I could get rid of any of Volca's in my possesion - had OG Sample, Kick and now considering to sell Drum and Nubass, but FM1 is out only if FM2 is in.

My current favorite is the Volca Sample with the Pajen firmware, for the 100 USD I spent, thats some serious bang for the buck. I'll wait to see if th Volca FM 2 dethrones it for me when it arrives in August or whatever they're expecting. If I find one these for 100 or less I may grab it anyway, but 6 voice polyphony and velocity sensitivity is worth waiting for in my opinion.

I actually find it off putting that all the synthfluencers got the syntakt and released videos on it the day it was announced. I also find that most synthfluencers produce bland music and I know why: what is most broadly marketable is rarely interesting. The point is that you have probably the most loved KZbin synth channel because your not selling out to the manufacturers and the lowest common denominator

They try and sale it with emotion and act like the $1000 smug box is some sort of need. Personally been put off the entire product line due to the behavior of the low rent street team. Its just insulting...they don’t even have the grace of allowing viewers any discussion, they jump you attempting to influence you how much they are not a influancer. Forgive me for venting a bit on this video, just while I know social media / influancer have a inherent bit of narcissist tendencies what encountered last few days with the latest product seeding was so over the top. You're not even interacting with a person just a damage control bullet point bot mouthing off within the confines of some NDA they signed.
