Just wanted to say, AudioPilz' "Bad Gear" is maybe the best Synth review show in existence. Honest, right amount of insight without too much details and good production quality for the sample songs too. Keep it up!

[@brucebennett5338]

I assembled a little volca rig for fun (modular, drum, nubass, keys, and the mixer). They are pretty little toys that let a classically trained musician like me pretend to know how to make techno (i'm not much of a step-sequencing kinda guy, i typically just play what i want to hear on keys, but this little rig is helping me learn the ropes.

[@AudioPilz]

Great approach!!!

[@Beatdrop]

LOVED seeing the Volca Kick getting some action. That thing is seriously one of the best in the entire line. So flexible and just absolutely MONSTROUS sounding.

Thank you!!! The internet can be a dark place;)

[@alexwestconsulting]

I've hardly touched mine, but the NuBass is a nice addition to the volca lineup in isolation. The tube is a gimmick though. It does actually sound nice, different character than the other clones I have. Really it's the volca footprint that sells it though. It's doesn't play particularly nice with the Keys/Bass IMO, but it's great in combo w Kick and Drum. Actually really highlights the Kick since the Kick also always felt like it didn't belong. Now it has a friend. I'm keeping it.

[@AudioPilz]

Yeah, great in that combination!

[@WH3]

Yep, I have the Kick, Drum, Nubass combo together with a Volca Mix in a stand

[@AudioPilz]

Neutrik handed them out at Musikmesse 2010 and I took a hand full;)

[@smockysmock]

I have one and love it, but yeah definitely not perfect. The thing is constantly going out of tune and it sucks you can't use it as a drone because the notes don't sustain. Also build quality isn't great, my volume knob will be turned all the way down sometimes but then it gets knocked and sound starts cutting in when it shouldn't. Where it really shines though is those random buttons. You can put in a single note sequence and just spend an hour jamming out on it by changing the slides/accents/transpose, and saving the ones that are good and then going back to them later. There's been so many grooves I've played on it that I would have never discovered on my own without those random buttons. From a fun perspective it's a 10, but from a versatility and reliability perspective, a 4.

[@AudioPilz]

That sums it up nicely!

[@rorz999]

I'm surprised to see so little love for the nubass in the comments. I love mine! As an acid box, it offers something different from the 303 in terms of its sound, and it's also a lot easier to program. And you can get some cool results with the LFO!

[@AudioPilz]

Really liked the LFO too!

[@YouTubeSupportTeams]

^^^ Finally Someone in the comments who actually gets it. Great little box. Engineered for acid. And it can do it too.

[@sync1216]

Bought it as my first "real" synth, after using some free app stuff, to learn what all those parameters do. Had it for a week and like it very much, only changed the global setting for tempo, so far. Now I am looking for stuff to do with it on youtube and my first stop is of course - bad gear! 😁👍 the only thing that annoyed me, was that the free software bundle is not entirely compatible with windows(DAW for example-mac only)

[@The_Master_Brain]

The thing doesn't even sound remotely like a 303. Behringer does this much better with its TD-3 (MO).

[@GizzyDillespee]

Noob ass? No base? New bass (like the fish, bass)? I'm not sure which is the correct pronunciation?

[@alexlubinski7795]

It actually has a sound of it's own - don't know what to think about it but definitely it's more than just another TB-303 knockoff and kudos to Korg for taking the risk with this instrument and their nutube stuff in general. Especially now with whatever the hell i's going on with Russia which sits on the biggest pile of post-military tube stock, access to quality vacuum tubes is getting only more and more scarce. With this kind of voltage I don't know if it makes much of a difference (just like it didn't do much in older tube-powered Korg/Vox gizmos) but they ceirtanly know their way around it and the end result is impressive.

[@YouTubeSupportTeams]

when you crank the sub osc saturation and level you definitely hear it and the tube glow responds!

[@AudioPilz]

Definitely sounds different!

[@xisotopex]

[@kylekeller7577]

Hopefully they come out with a red Nubass Bass.

[@AudioPilz]

Lol

[@Drinkyoghurt]

Korg needs to bring out some new Volcas cause we're almost through all of them at this point. I'm not just saying that because I unironically love the Volcas. IMHO the OG Volca Bass is better than the Nubass, but I can't say that I wouldn't mind having some of the Nubass' functions on the Volca Bass. Maybe they should come out with a newer version and call it the Newbass.

[@AudioPilz]

Yeah, more Volcas are definitely needed (they were not so amused about my Volca Cowbell suggestion tho;)

[@veronica_violence]

I suppose at some point you are going to run outta gear to review, but until then long may this continue!

It's going to take a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time to run out of bad gear. I have heaps of the stuff.

[@chrisroberts1919]

Almost tempted by a Noobase... But! Compared to the "Old Bass", it does allow DAW users to control the filter via MIDI, rather than a Big Knob (TM)? lol. I did try a (2HP modular) MIDI Filter to control the sound output from the OLD Bass, but it was "just not the same"! But, with the cost of "modular", limits of Volcas might be a blessing... :P As to the "sound" of Valves (VT's) versus solid state: Uz (bedroom!) Guitarists have been arguing for years? :D Impressed as ever by the "Beat Kids" - Over us (aged?) DAW users! Hands on Hardware is much more fun...

[@AudioPilz]

I've yet to give the Old Bass a chance!

[@geofff6671]

Why is it that after every episode of Bad Gear I want to buy the gear in question. In this case I want it and I don’t even like acid.

[@YouTubeSupportTeams]

Because the point of the show is not that the gear is actually bad if you know how to use it. The internet is full of critics with nothing to show for it

[@AudioPilz]

It's called Bad Gear GAS and it's completely natural;)

[@HisXLNC]

I believe the cutoff knob on the Nubass is the largest knob to ever grace a Volca. But is it sturdier?

[@YouTubeSupportTeams]

[@AudioPilz]

[@ALL_ONE_SUN]

A new iOS app called THE 404 can make nice grooves (of the same style) INSTANTLY (by pressing the GENERATE button) and has a similar sounding filter (although with a more ALWAYS FULL ON kinda formant bass sound) for less than 5 US DOLLARS (at current pricing)👍There is also the ELECTROBASE app by same company on the iOS app store and there is a macOS edition of BOTH of those!

[@johnwethekylow]

Wondering if you've heard of these instruments from IK Multimedia. I only happened upon them "shopping" on amazon for fun, which just means throwing any bad or not-yet-bad gear into a wishlist or saved for later. Their UNO line has at least 3 products, synth, synth PRO, and some drum machine. Maybe take a look? It's pretty cheap, it's probably bad.

[@AudioPilz]

Already had the two little ones on the show and there's an UNO pro in the neighborhood;)

[@alleygh0st]

Wow this is more acid than 303...I'm convinced, sound-wise

[@AudioPilz]

[@mjrisinsd6836]

Honestly…I hate when Korg puts tubes in things, lol. They need to be replaced and don’t add anything of value! You can get a tube preamp if it means that much to you for like $100. Although I wouldn’t recommend it because it is totally unnecessary. On the flip side…my Triton Extreme tube is still running strong since 2006. But I know it’s gonna give in at some point so it mostly just annoys me. Any day now.
