Korg Volca - Kick

[@johnsager6947]

I really like your style from starting with the beginning like "clear a pattern" and going from there. I've seen so many tutorials, longer and shorter, and they start like going into bass filter tone. I'm like thats the last thing I need when I first get this! You start quick and fast and 8 minutes right to the point. great video.

[@rosspalumbo]

This thing is a monster. Don't sleep on it at all.

[@HazeAnderson]

I love my Volca Kick. I chose it instead of the Volca Beats. Turns out the Kick makes a great mono bass synth too, especially when you process the signal with effects.

[@christianlowensprung3149]

Thank you for this impressive guide. Maybe there is more to this thing, than I first thought.

[@terskiyroman9640]

Thank you!

[@LateNightBeatsOfficial]

Thanks for this super comprehensive demo! It's been on my radar for a while and now it's finally time to pull the trigger on it.

[@RonaldFigura]

Great tutorials! Good visuals and you actually explain specifically what you are doing. So much better than most "MuteTubes" (videos with no talking and a bunch of annoying gestures). I Will be watching. I like the eurorack modular stuff. Keep those coming!

[@VJFranzK]

kickin' it old school! 🥸👟 🥁

[@Thegingerwolff]

So around the 1:47 mark youve came up with a cool bass rhythm. It's nice😊. Is there a way to put that over a simple 4/4 kick rhythm or add a kick into it? Or can't you multi layer or have 2 different sounds playing in the patch? (edit)At the 6:40 mark you start playing with some cool effects, is there any way to do this while maintaining a solid beat behind that?

[@stevebjorklund4482]

Hey DJ - you didn't tell the folks about the other tempo mode in which you can go from 20bpm to 600bpm. It's not something I reach for regularly but it's there if you need it...

[@matthewcody1757]

Steve Bjorklund yeah i use it on the beats for drones.

[@Decoy303]

While powered off hold function and the power source. It will then turn on and say floral global. Adjust from there.

[@mb2776]

Btw, tempo can range from 10 to 600 bpm. There's a global parameter you can change while turning the device on :)

[@Decoy303]

I recommend connecting this to another synth to control more parameters of the filter.

[@florencesee5805]

i hope the you can have a tutorial on setting up the most basic things an absolute beginner has to have and do. starting from the simplest gears, the wire connections, then the basic tutorials.

[@luchofrancisco]

Thanks for the guide!

[@davidgoode7416]

Awesome!

[@coolejens]

Perfect informative video about the korg volca kick! Thank you

[@exequiel21]

The built in speaker make a noise like a punctured tire, same in yours?

[@emilyschmanks]

neat! i've been thinking about getting this for a while but havent gone for it yet because i really don't like the volca series' touch-type keyboard. do you get used to that quickly?

[@JAdeWii_]

Emily Banks oh yeah, I actually love the touch plate interface. anything touch plate in the modular world would be over $500 for just a controller

[@omarjamal5442]

Emily Banks You can use always hook up to a controller via the midi in and just use the Volca as a sound module.

[@GullySyde28]

Here in 2021 Thanks🤙 Dawless Jammin nice lil secret dub weapon for the ammo box Bigup 😎👌🔥

[@ModularLanding]

Awesome video. Thanks!

[@kierenmoore3236]

So, does this 'bury'/effectively supersede the Volca Bass? Or is the latter all about the squish/acid, and the Kick can't touch it for that?

[@JAdeWii_]

Yeah kick cant do acid, but it can do a mean dub

[@jimmywheelo]

The kick really will always seem like an unecessary luxury. Always think I'd be using that money towards a bigger better synth

[@HazeAnderson]

Try removing all kick drums from your future jams. :)

[@JAdeWii_]

it makes a great sub bass as well!

[@HazeAnderson]

Seriously awesome synth bass when you use effects too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWTaiouZbbuHY9k

[@URRBANELEKTRO]

very nice !!!!

[@fantasyproduct1042]

Korg MS20 filter. Tried and tested at an excellent price point

[@s3nsec0rruptr80]

There have been a couple demos I've seen where some tones remind me of the sequences in old DAF songs, which makes sense since many of their early tracks were all based around sq-10 and ms-20 sequences.

[@jank-official]

can I like your videos twice?

[@LouisSerieusement]

Are you sure that the Accent only affect the volume ?? That's sad :( I love when accents are affecting the timbre or the env

[@Decoy303]

It does effect timbre and not just accents.

[@LouisSerieusement]

@@Decoy303 indeed ! Since then my neighbor got one of those and I tried it several time ; plus there are several level of accent (and slide) witch is great

[@Streethabit]

in this tutorial I did not see one kick drum that I would like to use in production! Please someone correct me if I am wrong, Id love to be proven wrong right now as i am sitting in front of this unit right now trying to come up with a kick I would actually use and its the biggest piece of shit!

[@GullySyde28]

Bro you not doing it right!!!

[@sullycliftona]

Yes it’s just time. I’ve had mine for nearly two years. It’s fine I’m not selling it on
