Korg Volca Keys: the Unlikely Ambient Drone Synthesizer

[@Just_lift_anyone]

Such a relief when you went back to a minor, absolutely love this!

[@FartingDog88]

Awesome drones! I really liked the part at 4:50 when the filter opens. Thank you for mentioning the Valhalla reverb in the description. I often think the sounds are unprocessed when the only thing you see is the synth.

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

Thank you for the nice feedback! I always try to include all the details to make the video as useful as possible. Cheers!

[@dalegeorge1339]

Another epic tutorial! I am drawn into the ambient and drone possibilities by your videos using both the Volca Keys and Roland S1. I came to the synth world late in life (62 yrs old) and these videos help me immensely. You help open the doors of what is possible, thank you!

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

Thank you for the nice feedback. I'm very glad to be helpful

[@synth-eticfantasies5683]

Beautiful soundscape once again! I can't believe you got all of this from a Volca!

[@chaoswires2734]

It's not just volca, fx also plays quite important role here. However, sequencer freeze with sync is quite nice.

[@Calamindir]

@@chaoswires2734 Was it jsut the fx on the volca here, or something else?

DUNE 2 ! Amazing sound 👋

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

Thanks!

[@splash4890]

Drone is my favorite genre to make on this. Then drone and some beats

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

Great!

[@turbotambourine]

Nicely done! I was always a fan of that Volca! Sounds so good! I never ended up getting one though. Went a different route. Love it for the sci-fi cinematic sounding stuff like this! Wonderful!

[@jukkaisokoski3625]

Good job! I managed to succeed with my volca!

[@southpaw2634]

Love the drones!! Any chance you could let me know the dial settings for your patch? So inspired by this tone.

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

Hi, thanks! It's hard to remember but usually I use cutoff quite heavily with high resonance, a little bit of detune and the octave or the fifth mode.

[@Patrick.639]

AWESOME! Really blows me away...

@@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic My volca keys will be delivered next week and I am thrilled to tap into some drones! I feel a bit like a child, waiting for christmas ✨

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

@@Patrick.639 nice, that's a great feeling! Have fun!

[@iluzionistslv]

Amazing sound and fantastic hacks to make drone sound on volca keys 🔥🔥🔥

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@dianamiino7391]

Excellent, thumbs up 👍👍

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

Thank you!

[@zivoskyjoseig1381]

this is quite amazing

[@WCiacho]

Do you have some extra output on upper side of your Volca?

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

It's a midi thru port I installed myself long ago.

[@AntaresWaveLab]

wow 😯- that´s a nice hack - i will definietly try it out tonight - does it also work, while you synced to another volca (sync out) 🙄?

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

Interesting question... Never tried. Try it out and tell us! 😄

[@synthebo]

🤩🤩👏👏👏

[@infinityturtle142]

Amazing, think mine is broken. It never sounds like this :)

[@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic]

🙏

[@timr.9952]

It’s because this is not only the keys. The magic is happening with the reverb
