Korg - Volca FM

[@スペスレサ1984]

I need one of these despite not knowing it existed 7 and a half minutes ago

[@rillonautikum]

Have you got one? Thinking about buying a volca for so long now and cant decide

[@carlossaraiva7968]

@@rillonautikum Don't wait. Life is too short. Music with Volca FM is great. Mine makes me happy every day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@CarpetSnakes]

Carlos Saraiva that’s very important rn. I think without that outlet I’d be having a much harder time.

[@Terrible_Peril]

CarpetSnakes when humanity feels threatened people start to tune in to what they really like, which is good. A civilized society is one that maximizes access to the things people really like, things that are human nature. Turns out, there aren’t all that many civilized societies, however...

[@kengreen6901]

Thats pretty much how I ended up with Volca FM and a Bass, pretty cool rigs for sure, then they took me to Pocket Operators, they play nice together:)

[@Knobs]

Remember that other Volca FM video we made? This one is better. Forget about that other one. There was never another one.

[@yamatsukami94]

Knobs Imma hold you to that

[@karimsharif3681]

What other one? ;~)

[@DrScythe]

- There was never another one. Is this Ingsoc?

[@DCPier]

These aren't the droids you're looking for... ;)

[@aluhaable]

Knobs miss u other one:(

[@kristofwynants]

Even though I own almost none of the devices you demonstrate, nor do I aspire to, I so enjoy watching these videos. Each and every one is a piece of art!

When I watch your videos I think you don't have the number of subscribers your content deserves, it is quite fantastic.

[@bitspacemusic]

I love that you're doing synth stuff also.

[@Oyasoom]

I watched many Volca FM (often vs. Keys) videos to find the one that would click with me and I didn't find a satisfying video that'd showcase the FM presets and possibilities. Yours did and it sounds amazing ! Thanks, it helped me decide.

[@aries3211]

Just bought one of these today, honestly one of the most fun pocket synths I've ever played with.

[@meekeater8517]

wow, this is a great break down of the korg volca FM. I found one online for a decent price but really had no clue what it was or how it sounded. then I found your video and you pretty much gave me the confidence to purchase something I had never played before or heard live...so thanks.

[@trevormorrison8438]

Knobs you are my favorite channel. Thank you for this.

[@f67739]

this has an insane range of timbres, hope to pick one up before they go out of production

[@rahulchandran9168]

I keep coming here over and over again, the amazement never ceases. I don't know who you are, but you are a magician. May your tribe increase in bits and bytes.

[@Kupka2408]

Amazing! Glad I finally ordered one two days ago. It is unbelievable what you are getting out of this wonderful little box :)

[@dvdny]

One of the best VFM videos on here. Thanks for creating.

[@intrnationldarkskies]

hillarious choice of literature on the left

[@beepot2764]

I have zero experience but this little guy makes me so happy.

[@ЛакиСтрайк-ц8ч]

You. You are such a wizard.

[@Chasing_Thoughts]

Best sounding synth for the money 💰 hands down.

[@cortinoias]

Everything about this video is just so aesthetically pleasing. Not sure why either.

[@cybersludge]

The one I ordered is due to arrive in about 12 hours. It seems odd that I'm eagerly awaiting the end of my social life.

What a wonderful synth, it's small and mighty.

[@kunstssst]

The first time in history a synth has been dubbed a “versatile little fridge magnet”.

[@Varue]

i still come back to this video as it is such an excellent demo of the FM. I would love to see another made. Maybe if Korg put out an FM2 with a few more voices.

[@bronamcvittie]

Thank you! The best demo for how to use the Volca FM that I have found so far...really inspiring =+)

[@Knobs]

You're very welcome. Glad it got the gears turning.

[@daaamnTony]

Wow, this was such an excellently done video and kinda tempts me to get one even though I'm new to synthesis.

[@Knobs]

It's a cool device to get cracking with, if you're so inclined

[@davidwinchester2273]

Totally in awe. You know so much about these little critters.

[@nolanwatkinson5510]

Best Video demo of the Volca Fm out there... Cheers guys x

[@sitdowndrank3077]

I’ve been going crazy with the Volca sample 2 and I’m def adding this to the collection

[@Coolzonegames1]

Does the sample 2 have sounds for each key already or did you have to sync those over? to the device

[@ishadawaher-bakhos1048]

Love your taste in everything, by the way.

[@Knobs]

Thank you!

[@JimvsBob]

You like the taste of knobs

[@brandonh8275]

I heard that EP and I'm not joking. I just went to go buy one. That old tone was immediately the one I was looking for

[@amphitheatre]

4:32 just about has me sold

[@fender1000100]

rss313 Get it. For the money nothing touches it. And this is coming from a DX7 FM fanatic. Just check my channel to see im for real. I bought one as soon as I saw you could manipulate the attack and decay without going into the menu. And something too many people are overlooking about this awesome little gem. THE UNISON MODE. Let me tell you my first experience with FM was the mark 2 DX7. And what makes it an amazing synth is the unison feature. All of a sudden we are talking PHATT. And strings sound as good as an analogue synth once you add chorus and unison to them. I will upload a series of demos from March to show how powerful this little box is. Using my 25 years of experience with the DX7. To show that essentially pound for pound Korg have brought forth the greatest synth ever to hit the market. To believe that you can be anywhere and program a killer FM sound on the Volca FM is an amazing thought.

[@amphitheatre]

thanks for the insight. i have 1001 other things on my gear list atm but running this thing through a roland SDX330 seems like it'd be a dream. i'll check out your channel, too.

[@fender1000100]

rss313 Yes ive resisted everyother FM synth gadget, software until the VOLCA FM. Because of the magic UNISON and attack, decay knobs. I will eventually have 3 of these running with a good controller keyboard. And love knowing I can use it anywhere and have the power of FM at my fingertips.

[@djinferno8690]

I still love my volca fm, and beats.

[@jakobk5558]

i wish all gear demos would be like that .. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT WAY U DID THIS ONE .. must be quite a lot of work, but it's just perfect .. if i'd do one, i would target to do it exactly like u did :)

[@JohnJones-jq4gj]

Man you know how to squeeze every last bit of juice and flavour out of the Korg

[@coldwar1977]

So small, yet so many possible sounds!!!!!

[@fender1000100]

coldwar1977 You can say that again. Just the drum and percussion sounds ive gotten out of this little gem are alot better than the volca beats model. I will upload a song demo soon to show them off.

[@vizdotnu]

I'd still like to see that

[@puderrick8634]

This entire demo is so cute

[@JohnNoirSmith]

That intro made me wonder whether I'd had one back when I recorded my song, "Lunatic". Guess they had the same sound in the soundbank for the MicroKorg 🤷‍♂️

[@alexridgley9207]

Just bought it, beautiful video man, cannot wait to unbox this 😊

[@dkwallis]

I already ordered one (used) but had I not yet, this would have SOLD me. I really appreciate yr humour. That you can pull it off with super/subtitles is todal bossanova, mang.

[@downhill2k013]

First time buying something because of a knobs video, the beginning of a probably bad habit

This editing its just wow

[@samothrace2106]

FM is the only volca that actually looks tempting to me. Cool demo. I can barely read half of the text on my phone, though because it's so tiny

[@BevisFriend2010]

Beast of a Machine. ESSENTIAL !

[@chadlittle1882]

I’m amazed at what the fm can do. More than that, amazed at how you present it. Kudos

Coziest video.

[@jonathanwolf5787]

Yes, more little synth and beatbox videos please! I'd love to see your take on the Pocket Operators, or Microgranny, or Bastl's stuff, or, or or or rororor.....

in case anyone wondering about tempo 10bpm-600bpm its under “global settings”, hold down “func” key while switching it on, its on key 5 (check your terrible manual) :P

How did you get the tempo to ten? I could only get mine to 56

[@iesope201]

Hank Byerly check the manual, it describes how in there. I think it's hold function while turning on to access global settings. Then key 5 to access tempo full or restricted.

[@månemannmånemann]
