The send out only sends signal on the left channel if you plug in a stereo jack. I think that's quite annoying, since all the other Korg stuff manages to send the signal on both channels when it's mono... Looks like your Eventide FX can handle that and knows it's a mono signal; the Korg NTS-1 I'm using as FX send doesn't. So I need a mono-to-stereo converter for that.

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Ah, brilliant, that explains a lot, I have been having problems with some effects, top job, I’ll pin this comment to the top🤟👍

[@suttonmatthew1142]

A tip: you can watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.

[@axelarjun5111]

@Sutton Matthew Definitely, I've been using Flixzone} for since december myself :D

[@nebula0697]

Hi Haslo. This has been driving me bonkers. Does it work with the mono to stereo converter? The signal enters the nts-1 as stereo then back into the volca mix as stereo or mono? Are you experiencing any signal loss with the adapter? What do you think would happen trying to mini kaoss pad 2 instead of the nts-1? Many thanks!

Peoples! We need a Volca jam party, somehow! This guy loves music. I'm from Manchester (now living near John O' Groats at the remote end of the world and loving it), he sounds like a Liverpool man. Music unites locally and globally - love all musicians. I grew up in the 80's when synths were the rage, creativity joins us all! Love and peace and stop watching the bad news - make stuff - you all have talents!

[@sideshowbob2421]

man that sounded so awesome, i loved the industrial feel in the last 6 minutes

[@simoncarlsson1567]

Couldn't figure out how to start them all at the same time with the mix so this was helpful. Thanks!

[@AndyChannelle]

Three channels is nuts, and very limiting. They should have done two editions. Four and eight channels maybe with an integrated reverb send effect.

[@jamesrampant]

Great video as always. I just started getting into volcas so this was perfect.

[@gixerags750]

Hi, nice video, ordered my Volca Mixer yesterday...are your BASS and TREBLE knobs on your Volca SAMPLRE really wobbly ? I bought mine new and would like to check with someone else. Thank you 😊

[@shawnvstaden]

Yay!

[@TheHexCube]

Many thanks! Simple and helpful bro'.

[@TheHexCube]

..and thanks for the lead to VolcaNiced. Gonna watch & learn! (I have MPC One, and many Pocket Operators, but new to Korg and LOVING the Volca series, just got NuBass, then Drum, and now ordered Mix. Planning on FM then Modular! BTW Tony Horgan's guides are PRICELESS! Cheers brother, music is THE best drug.

[@TheHexCube]

Nice, nice niiiice! 😀

[@SanplerVarondaro]

excelente video saludos

[@TheHexCube]

Man, why do I like so many cables!!?

[@TheHexCube]

I guess I love complexity and inter-somethings.

[@TheHexCube]

BTW you got some nice bass there!

[@TheHexCube]

For anyone struggling with Volca hardware, I recommend getting Tony Horton's Expert Guides - they get right under the bonnet if you want to know EVERYTHING about each one. Sorry for plug, but it's genuine. Subbed to your channel mate, looking forward to watching and learning from you - I like your style Bro.

[@lee3144]

my question is do you get any humming or line noise with the mix because of 3 volcas getting power from the mix

[@novich63]

How can i hook up a midi controller to control each volca independently on different channels..what extra hardware would i need? Thanks

[@SpeccyMan]

You will need a MIDI splitter box as the Volcas do not have a THRU or OUT for MIDI (The FM2 does!) and you will need to set each Volca to its own MIDI channel.

[@TheGreatPanicker]

Hey Doug: I am having serious issues making this setup work. I have the volca bass and kick and they are connected to the volca mix just like you have done in this video. I have the output of the volca mix going to my focusrite scarlett 2i2 inputs and the focusrite is connected to my powered speakers. The interface works and speakers work but when I turn everything on, press play on the bass and kick and then play on the volca mix, nothing happens. No sound. The volcas light up during play, but no sound is coming out. Any ideas? Thanks.

[@TheGreatPanicker]

Great video!! I just got the volca mix and volca kick and I already have the volca bass. I have 2 options for fx though: I have a korg mini kaoss pad 2 and I would like to use it, but how would I connect it to the mix? I also have fx apps on my 8th gen ipad, which still has the headphone port and lightning connection. How would I connect the ipad to the mix? Thanks.

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Take the final output and put it into your audio interface and put that into your iPad

[@no3oyz507]

What you think about noise generated while every volca is plugged to power supply (without batteries)? Is this a instrument with built-in noise generator or just a toy?

[@TheSoundTestRoom]

Have you asked Korg about this problem?

[@dinogoldie9716]

Can anyone recommend a good mixer (at least 4 mono and two stereo channels) with the same footprint as the Volca Mix but without the stupid internal speaker and the groundloop-generating daisy-chain power sockets? Has anybody ever manufactured a combined audio mixer and MIDI splitter?

[@user-oe2qm4vb5d]
