KORG Volca Beats - How To Create Drums

Korg were kind enough to let us borrow there new Volca hardware synths, so we sent our Ableton tutor Chris Mounter home with them, to see what they are all about. In this video Chris will show you how to use the Volca Beats to create a drum pattern, check it out.

The best instructional electronic music video i have ever watched ...Iothers should watch and learn... simple, precise, straight to the point ,no excessive talking and he assume you know nothing about the device which is always the best place to start .Brilliant video ...!!!!!

[@whiterottenrabbit]

This guy makes it look so simple. I wish I was as fly as him in this little unit. Well, practice makes perfect!

[@gabygiangola]

yo that drop had me screaming that was the slickest thing i had ever seen in my life

[@ooobbwolfooo]

Thanks for the post! Just wanted to add that you can un-mute anthing that you already muted by holding the mute button and then tapping the key furthest to the right. So if you mute certain parts to try to create a build up effect, you can have ALL of the muted parts drop back in at the same time! Cheers!

[@Caynug]

Man I need to get this thing, thanks for telling that.

[@loveadumb]

i literally synced my drum temp to this video and learned by jamming with you. cheers.

[@spkoftdvl]

I was watching a lot of videos about how use this instument and they talk too much of show things without explanation and is like wtf... But you, you are the best! Simple and go to the point while showing what you can do with the artifact, thanks!

[@ffffffelipe]

Amazing! I just got a second hand Volca Beats and this is really clarifying for all the things you could do with this small piece. Definitely need to spend more time with it! Sick tutorial bro, very straight forward

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Great lesson! Been looking at learning these as they offer good bang for buck in a small portable drum kit.

[@bryanscarboddi1210]

10yrs later and The Volca series are stronger than ever 🤖🥁🤖

[@UncleKalle]

I like how 90's the video quality is, talking about analog hardware. Very good instruction video :)

[@walrtbstudios5430]

Very fine. Not seen anyone else mention the ‘part’ arrows- nice work!

[@christianlwensprung2722]

Very good. Now I just need to watch this 100 times more, to learn this drum machine (which I own) and my beats will be good to go. Thank you.

[@UncleBeefRecords]

Another thing you can do is hold the 'func' button, and choose an exact time interval with the time knob for the stutter effect

[@schtickkicker]

Thank yououou!

[@AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH]

This is really so much better than any of the other tutorials on volcano beats. Others are good, this is fantastic

[@isocarboxazid]

Volcano beats!! 🌋

[@8-BitHeart79]

shecheyer That is generally done with samplers. If you don't have money for a machinedrum and you want to do it on the cheap but you want a more performance\ instrument feel there are a tone of samplers out there new and used from old school to new. The oldschool samplers Akai, emu, had multiple outputs to route to different mixer channels and a low bit rate for a grainy crunchy sound but very little sample time. Newer ones on the cheap however, are stereo and are 16bit for a cleaner sound and tons of sample time. Take your pick Roland, Korg, Akia, Boss. Or, there is the computer option. A good audio interface and a multipurpose controller, any DAW you like From FLStudio-Logic. Chop up drum beats with any of these devices and methods and create your break core.

[@GreenShiva-Lightfoot]

Nice!

[@UncleBeefRecords]

Good tutorial mate. Nice and concise. I've owned one of these for a year and learned something new

[@pauwels_francois_djset]

just bought my volca and learn with ur video ! thanks a lot it s look more simple now =D

[@SimonBatten1]

Agreed, superb tutorial, far better than the Korg one for learning the basics. Just ordered the Volca beats and this will be really useful.

[@pnkrabbts]

Wow the best tutorial so far

[@imammarc]

Thank you for this video. I happened to acquire a Beats and wasn't really sure how to use it.

[@pixelatedbeatz]

I there! thanks for the great demo ... what about shuffle or swing?

[@satyanpatel6403]

Wow! Very intuitive. Wish you could review everything!

[@glitch314]

thanks a lot... great overview of its capabilities. mine is coming in tomorrow, cant wait to get my hands on it!

[@trippshow3541]

Outstanding review! Thanks man.

[@aaronthearcticcat8548]

Can't believe how cheap I just got this for. Super excited after watching this. Good demo dude!

[@shecheyer]

Would you recommend getting a drum synth if you want to get into genres with more complex drum patterns like breakcore for example?

[@tonysparks5693]

Im bout to buy one rn just because of this vid. U got a new sub btw.

[@akf2000]

wow, this guy knows his shit!

[@hafstrat]

Better than. Manual. Fabulous skills you have.

[@Unstrict]

Howard Forton I thought Manual was a pretty cool guy.

[@sambanks2996]

Great vid thanks! Learned more from this than the manual :)

[@gabrielnavarro749]

Holy sh*t, this is the best tutorial hands down

[@hostsofmichael]

Very helpful! Much appreciated! A great quick-start guide!

[@PureAmbientDrone]

Fantastic tutorial

[@DavidChello]

Great instructional demo, helpful!

[@dafunk5557]

Here I was thinking the beats was limited and wanting to buy new gear... Guess it's me great video

[@DJ_ACIDPUPPY]

nice review - thank you for your time. Does anybody have any take on what is the best drummachine for effects drums and glitch... looking for a device for live Breakcore , Jungle ... IDM... also need to able to sample drumloops, chop them if possible

[@manueltummolo9198]

You're Amazing man

[@UnitedPebbles]

Time synchronization is important as the pattern itself? is it catchy, does it fit?

[@unseriouscycling5751]

Nice, can you change the sequence length? Ie 12 steps to emulate 6/8 or something?

[@kasekuchen9379]

I really like Volcabeats

[@Muzicboy3]

Would you recommend getting this drum synth if I want to make a deep sub heavy 808 kick drum? im into deep 808 sounds ad want something that's analogue.

[@BlackMytilus]

Is an adapter included or do I have to buy that separately?

[@skjortan]

high class tutorial. thanks.

[@Cemental]

This is very helpful. Thank you.

[@Mmsmickey]

Awesome, clear, fun review

[@MichaelDiTullo]

Thanks! Super helpful!

[@swaggytee2461]

finally someone rileases a video makin a beat with the Volca thats somewhat hip hop-capible

[@larsjaederlund3708]

great video...can do this volca beats more than just techno?

[@NathanHassall]

yes it can do dance and electric too

[@bboymac84]

Nathan Hassall hip hop too.

[@NathanHassall]

don't forget trip hop

[@dianemckimmy5701]

Kick drum

[@dianemckimmy5701]

Do 130 BPM kick drum (Korg volca beats style)

[@tlatsegms]

Amazing⚡️

[@danielcockriel443]

Will this function with a single input bass amplifier that has aux connections for iPods/mp3/drum machines? Or does it need a separate instrumental input?

[@haskprvt]

that was intense! :)

[@PgTrAxX]

step jump! that's a new one for me! good to know! thanks

[@TheSiloTeam]

Succint and empowering- nicely done :P

[@jasonprice9274]

Great video!

[@JohnnyMacaw]

is it possilbe to create rock rhtym type beats?

[@winterland2011]

THANK YOU!!!!

[@bboymac84]

im interested in getting this!! you sold it!!

[@G-Hutch]

Cheers.

[@IgnasRok]

might be a stupid question but whats the difference and between korg beats and korg kick? I asuma that Korg Kick is more advance and maybe better? thank you

[@AlexLeGallois]

Korg Kick is a kick drum module, Korg Beats is a drum module (incl. all the sounds mentioned in this video, not just a kick).

[@IrwinTech]

why is there music playing the background the whole video?

[@djformalin]

Thx for this 🎼

[@VideoNash]

thanks

[@Geue556]

great video! cheers man :)

[@gamezztudio]

somebody knows if i can change the lenght of the rythms with this machine? apparently you can make only 4/4 rythms with this machine,....

[@TheMaxxit]

How do you save the stutter for each separate sound? Every time I switch part it cancels the stutter I gave it

[@julianbarcelo1000]

THANKS MISTER

[@ONE.MILLION.MEGA.HERTZ.]

Dope intro.

[@91crey]

can someone please tell me how can I sync volca beats to Presonus Studio one ? I'd like to buy the volca but only if I'll know how to sync it

[@djpython0178]

nice video

[@tedsparger5441]

can you do beats in a different time signature or is this only for 4/4 song structures?

[@salutethecaptain]

You can use the 'active step' mode (func + play) to remove steps from the pattern. If you remove 4 out of the 16 steps, this would effectively result in a 3/4 pattern, wouldn't it?

[@midnightrun5]

You are so awesome!!!!!

[@jonathangillis4926]

I think the snare sounds good. Idk why people don't like it

[@esotericwaterford419]

how do i save loops into the memory slots ? i'm playing around with it the past couple of days and every time i change something up a bit in a memory slot , it is erased back to the original preset sound in the memory slot. sorry for not explaining in good terms but i'm new to this whole field and not up to scratch on any terminology yet :)

[@esotericwaterford419]

Never mind , i figured out 1 minute after posting this >:o

[@juodasai]

can i use it somehow with my guitar pedalboard together through guitar amp??

[@nicolascoquin7760]

+Justinas Grazys There Maybe not in the pedal board, but if you have an amp that accepts minijacks input, it works pretty good. Maybe with midi in you can plug it to a start/stop pedal, but I didn't try this. But you can plug it into midi to a pad board and play it on real pads

[@tangcw2000]

great!

[@lehnberg2424]

nice! thanks!

[@violetflame22]

Great demo, but I didn't get to hear the Snare!

[@jammingpositivevibration]

Nice, cheap my patterns ❤💛💚

[@nicolesproducerpack]

Is there an audio out so I can use it in Cubase?

[@nicolesproducerpack]

[@zorbanongreco]

Great tennis player !!! 🐂💨 💨 💨 💨

[@merra6998]

When i play rec it starts playing a beat i didnt make

[@lusbeklusbek4557]

How can you control swing?

[@heyjvictor]

You can download the Korg SynchKontrol app for your iPad or iPhone and then hook it up to the synch input using the 1/8" jacks. You can use the screen as a tap tempo and also control the swing. Quite a nice feature.

[@1TaylorCamro]

Tempo adjustments

[@CalvinWatkins]

how many "kits" this thing have in it?

[@KitsuneCentral]

None? It just does 10 percusive sounds. It's a basic drum machine.

[@truthfinder4973]

the snare on that thing sound like crap what was thy thinking when they made it

[@DJ_ACIDPUPPY]

step jump WOOOOOOO

[@MrKETEMINE]

how do i start a beat without the pre loaded playing?

[@kipperkell]

Hi, all you have to do is click function, and then on one of the last steps you'll see one labeled "clear all", click that and it will be empty. Just make sure to save your new creation or else it will delete when turned off and the preloaded will come back in its place

[@dropthispackets]

Erste 10 sek. ich dachte schon was macht Bushido da^^

[@martincenawernicke1357]

but great video!!! (gosh were are my manners!!) :)

[@TJ-hs1qm]

so no swing at all?

[@paulbellenger5003]

+Mo Batista nope

[@pyrox2518]

+Mo Batista you can create swing with the stutter function.

[@ummagumma7826]

My kick doesn’t sound like that. It’s just a click

[@WhiteCranK]

Did you figure that out? I have the same problem.

[@ummagumma7826]

@@WhiteCranK yes. Try headphones. The tiny little internal speaker doesn’t make much sound. Use headphones or do an aux out to a bigger speaker

[@WhiteCranK]

@@ummagumma7826 Thank you, i'm gonna try this.

[@ummagumma7826]

@@WhiteCranK let me know how it goes

[@WhiteCranK]

@@ummagumma7826 I'll do ✌🏼

[@billjohnroe2962]

Are you ready to kick drum at 130 BPM?!

This is ridiculous. I'm only just getting interested in all this. My mate has a studio and wants to sell me the electribe 2,,but this little banger has plenty for beginners.

[@Sharkwhisperer]

I just mossed hearing just a normal basic drum

[@sexytourettes1490]

damn dude you are great but done too fast for total beginner. I'm a guitarist who broke my hand so am learning drum machine, its my first. i need someone who is slower. i will come back to your channel when i have more of a sense

Watch on half speed or rewind the video. That's the strength of quick video tutorials!
