Aside from the colour balance, this has to be one of the most thorough and the easist to follow tutorial on the Vulca bass. Thanks man, this has saved me a bunch of time. Beats that pesky manual. Also liked how you've anotated the 'time line' to show what each section is about. I've not seen that before. Very useful. Liked and subscribed. @12:24 you pressed something which treated the sequence like an arpeggiator. I blinked and nearly missed this. Then i figured it out, you used 'LFO target pitch' to change the overal tone of the sequence. That one trick is worth elaborating on.

This is gold. My Volca Bass rocked up this morning without a manual (or a box; eBay purchase!) and although I was making some excellent noises I needed to know why, and how, not wtf. This is as thorough a tutorial as I could have wished for so- as the Bass is my fourth (of five) Volca- liked, and subbed. Good work!

Thanks you for this. I picked one of these up on a whim, as I wanted a 80's Moog bass sound on the cheap, and I had just purchased a Korg D1 that can be used as a controller. I know nothing about synths. This really helps. The Volca looks like a toy, but it's quite capable.

How do I start with a 100% blank sequence? When I press FUNCTION + CLEAR ALL / ACIVE STEP / PART / SLIDE it clears the active steps but does not clear the notes (meaning that inserting steps in a clear pattern follows melody saved in memory by factory). The only way to get rid of it is by going to FUNCTION + STEP REC and programming a melody. Even if I live record a melody before doing so, the melody plays but on whichever step the new melody wasn’t recorded the sequencer plays factory notes. EDIT: right after I posted the comment I found this thread: www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=740523&sid=1724c259ca1b46b1402e866c513b3ab2
