KORG Volca Sample Full Tutorial

[@edwardfletcher7790]

Hot tip for Volca Sample owners. To save tonnes of RAM, speed up all your long samples pitch x4 then they take up MUCH less space. To play back normally in the Volca just slow the pitch down again !

[@inthefade]

A classic trick for those of us used to 90s and 00s samplers. I pitch up some longer samples 2x only, but a good trick nonetheless.

[@henrikpersson4698]

@@inthefade does it deteriorate the audio quality in any way?

[@oouje]

@@henrikpersson4698 yeah it will reduce bitrate

[@judsonleach5248]

You sound like an old analog dude like me, Mr. Fletcher! - Back in 1985 at age 17, I quickly discovered that I could pre - Emphasize Hi end in recordings on My Tascam-38 and this would lower the tape hiss In Play back! - Before I Discovered Ray Dolby and our friends at DBX! - (wow! that was "Random!" lol) - sorry! LOL Glad I found this channel! - SUBSCRIBED!! Cheers! - Judson & Buddy !! 🙂

[@FPSzky]

@@henrikpersson4698 it will indeed deteriorate the audio quality, but its not that noticeable unless you're playing low notes. thats where the lack of bitrate will come to bite you in the a$$

Managed to get a Gen 1 version for the Pajen firmware mods, so this tutorial was very informative and straight to the point, thanks.

[@artemyeden]

thanks a lot for such a deep breakdown! i was confused a bit with this interface, but now i'm in the game

[@Ralph-n2k]

The sample upload took me back to the tape loader days of the Speccy.🙂

[@davidvallejo9184]

[@woosix7735]

[@manmaas]

Excellent tutorial! Thankfully there are people out there doing the good work. I put aside my Volca as I had too much else gear to deal with. I need you get back into it and this is a good place to get up to speed. Thanks again.

Great information I have the newer version it doesn't seem to have song mode in it Any help please

[@AlienBreed3D]

HI - Can you do a Volca Keys tutorial?

[@simonguitar4836]

Don't own one

[@stegmann9840]

Dude, you are a fucking legend, thank you so much

[@chapstick-217]

argh i feel like if i can just load up some samples i like i can create with this thing. having a hard time clearing the samples and loading them in

[@footmarshian8295]

Thanks Simon just got the version 2 today there was only 20 pounds difference for both new

[@DiegoDiaz-kp6dc]

Hey man! Thanks a lot for this tutorial. I'm trying my best to learn more about your video. The only problem that i have is to transfer new samples to my Korf sampler. What kind of sync cable do you use? I've tryed with 2 diferent one and nothing. Thanks¡ you in advcance if you can help me with this 🙏🙏

[@olivecool]

bought one off ebay hope it's good

[@paulw2604]

Superb tutorial, thank you. Just a basic question, if I have edited one or more parts, for example changing the sample that it uses and adjusting parameters, how do I save these so that when I turn the machine off then on again it retains the changes I have made?

[@simonguitar4836]

Should just be a case of overwriting the memory slot it's stored in

[@sebastiandaniel_design]

Thanks!

[@CC-fi3pp]

Does it have filters?

[@footmarshian8295]

What about audio pocket and caustk edited apps for this machine as I don’t have my pc at the moment I have iPads and iPhones

[@kevinjackson7539]

Can you sync this with pro tools?

[@simonguitar4836]

You could use midi clock, so yes via midi you could. You'd have to send your clock from pro tools

[@kevinjackson7539]

@@simonguitar4836 Very cool and subscribed

[@lwpweb]

unfortunately the numbers of sounds in volca sample do not match with the numbering in sw. so its hard to identify user samples.

[@simpson6700]

A bit disappointing that there is no chromatic mode in this thing, you have to fake it with the speed knob.

[@erichlepealcaino2231]

hey! thanks for the tutorial! I have a question please help me with this. I´ve already created melodies in my volca sample and I use them in live shows but im scared about connecting to the vosyr because I don´t know if the program is going to delete all I have in the memory of the volca and replace them with the original bank of sounds or if Vosyr will read all I´ve done and save without losing my melodies.

[@simonguitar4836]

It should be fine, should only load in what is already on the device

[@j00nior]

Is that possible use iOS 15 to transfer samples to the machine? I have korg app, but its not working to transfer nowadays

[@simonguitar4836]

Not sure, you best of using the recommended software like vosa

[@footmarshian8295]

What cables do you need to sync 2 volcas and what cable does it use to get samples into it as I just bought version 2 and it does not even come with power or USB cable

[@teatime2595]

It should of came with sync cables there the same size as stereo cables or head phones otherwise check out the Belkan rockstar to sync everything to the main source

[@teatime2595]

Atleast 9 volt plug in s are around ten dollars but they should really come with them!

[@edwardfletcher7790]

@@teatime2595 Why should they ? Even expensive mobile phones don't come with power now !

[@matthewshop]

I love Volcas yeah, I've got keys kick drum and nod sample, so I'm not hating. But.... Why don't they all have that bloody song mode man, it would make drum and kick so much better.

[@Captain_Rhodes]

So it doesnt actually record samples? Thats a shame

[@captaingsvfreedom]

Sounds like it's made for 10 songs 100 samples : 10 different songs
