Can it do this?! - Korg Volca Keys Drone Trick

[@mrmotarium]

Whoa. Gotta try this, it sounds fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

I'm glad you found it useful

[@robertsmith-ut6of]

That's nice

[@dannyroessler]

An other easy trick to keep it droning is to simple place a small coin on one key. You can change the tuning of the drone by sliding the coin but you can't add notes in an other register... advantges and disadvantages.

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

Nice and easy! I also tried that, but I forgot about it. Thanks for sharing.

[@drummchimp]

yes! amazing - spent an hour or two noodling on the sofa...bonus weirdness: if you use this method and slowly play three notes in poly mode, there's a lil' gap in some of the notes after 16 steps...but if you then turn up the portamento, two of the notes will slide to the other's pitch at those points - very nice!

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

Thanks for sharing your experience! I'll try that too

[@ARTALIAS]

It’s a hidden hold feature or a bug 😋

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

Looks more like a useful bug 😆

[@raphanunu6912]

This is a bug !

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

Yep, but convenient!

WoW, I have had my Volca Keys and a few others since they first came out which was 10 years ago but it's only since two days ago that I really learned how to start using it properly 😰 and then I see your video and I tried it too and BINGO !! 🤩 what a result, the drone is great, I love this Volca keys now, it helps of course that I'm also running an effects pedal through it which is a Zoom MS-70CDR which I highly recommend as its got 137 different effects and which can be layered to play several sounds at the same time.....cool !! 😎and now with decect speakers too instead of headphones, what a difference 🥰 Now I have just subscribed to your channel and given you a thumbs up too 👍 Thank you Glen 😃

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

Hi Glen, I'm really happy for your newfound inspiration! Thank you for your support! Cheers

[@omarmarmolejo345]

Do you know how to conéctate the vocal bass into reason 11 and that could be synced with reason when I stop reason.

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

Yes it's possible. You need a usb to midi interface for your pc. And then you can control the volca via midi

[@mirkomontaldo]

Ciao sul mio purtroppo non funziona. Dipende mica dalla versione FW? Non ho fatto l'update. Grazie mille.

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

Mmm. Io non ho mai aggiornato nulla dal 2013 😆 Sei sicuro di aver fatto tutto il procedimento allo stesso modo?

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

C'è un altro trucco che puoi provare, se guardi tra i miei video più vecchi

[@rayderrich]

Very cool trick, thank you for making me turn on my Keys once again.

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

I'm happy for that! Have fun

[@marsupial3ew]

Nice! Thanks for sharing!

[@Lucasirutis]

cool feature, thank you!

[@synthebo]

Bravo!! 🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@stuartchapman5171]

Great technique. Is the Volca keys analogue?

[@vzletitproject]

It has digital delay, but the rest is analogue, afaik.

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

I think the delay is analog too

[@SkinnyVampiress]

@@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic the delay is digital, it is done with MCU and the output is 20khz pwm signal, this is why you will see a 20khz peak at the spectrum

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

@@SkinnyVampiress Thank you for the detailed info! I always noticed that 20khz peak indeed. Now I understand why. Btw I've been a subscriber of your channel since long. I hope you are doing ok.

[@SkinnyVampiress]

@@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic interesting! I am more or less ok.. By the way, I modified my volca keys, added the signal out before the delay. It is cleaner, no 20khz peak there :) It is also possible to add a better filter to the MCU output, but the components are so small - not really DIY friendly... p.s. if you want to try an interesting trick - connect the audio output to the sync in :) It will trigger at random, creating some chaotic patterns... But it won't work with direct connection, you need to amplify the signal a little to get it closer to the 5v trigger input. Guitar pedal or something like that should be enough to amplify the signal....

[@tchnodad]

V cool

[@developedbytim]

MASSIVE

[@da_skool_productions]

That works!

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

Yeah!

[@Volcaniced]

WTF?

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

Is there a problem?

[@Volcaniced]

@@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic No no no no... omg no my Friend. I just thought I know a lot about this thing ... but no, I didnt. You totally surprised me ....

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

It is my pleasure to help. I've been following your channel since quite long, I'm really happy that i have something useful to share.
