[@CaseWoo]

thaaanks

[@crowfoot7355]

Sounds sweet just got a microbrute. Can I pair the two ?

[@axs203]

Wow this sounds really cool.....amazing. Proper stuff! This could easliy be a professional track...well done. I don't get something - am I right in assuming the Volca samples only let you do 10 patterns in total? It seems so small. Am I reading something wrong here......if so why would Korg limit this so much.......

[@bogdanazarov804]

hi man, how for u this isolator????

[@JDVVV378]

Cool! are u using the samples inside the Korg Volca ?

[@Charlyfromthenuclearcity]

This sounds awesome ! I have some questions (I hope they're not too stupid !) : - does this thing has a "song mode" ? I would like to use it as my main drum machine for a solo project where I'd play bass, so I'd like to program patterns and arrange them in a song strucutre (intro-verse-chorus, etc) - is there a limit of how many samples you can use at once ? - since there's pitch modulation, can you also program basslines on this ?

[@vovos00]

There is no song mode but you can change which loop you’ll gonna play. Yes there is a limit. I remember it was about 99 or 128 samples You can place bassline by setting different pitch of the same sample on different sample slots

[@deptofmajorwhoops463]

hey! what were the samples you were using on this thing?

[@valentinch0]

I recognized most of the stock samples

[@p.simons9050]

Damn I wish I bought the sample instead of the beats

[@CaseWoo]

Get both. :)

[@p.simons9050]

***** Just sold my beats. The options are pretty limited. Im going to buy the sample and the FM now. Volca kick looks pretty cool too

[@williamsubjack2947]

Got the sample and FM myself... they're the two most valuable by far IMO

[@mickypoo4622]

I bought a Volca Keys because I had always wanted to play with an analogue synth (and I already had a MIDI controller keyboard to use with it). But then I saw the Volca Sample and thought of the many possibilities it offered for percussion, rhythms, sample sequences and so much more. So now I have both. The Volca FM also looks very interesting but the others have no appeal for me.

[@ethanbegleyhughes7237]

also i wish the it had some sort of cue feature so you could listen and program stuff without the crowd hearing then drop it in!

[@CaseWoo]

in an ideal live situation, the cue feature would be on a DJ mixer that you'd plug your machines into. that way, you can listen to the volca via headphones while another machine is playing back to the crowd via the other channel.

[@frontttttt]

Hey! Sounds cool, I've got a similar setup, is your volca connected directly to the h5 from its audio/headphone output to a line in on the h5?

[@CaseWoo]

I was using the input 1 and 2. i could also have used the line-in directly at the top right side.

[@lou19]

i'm super late but, does recording with the line-in turns everything mono? I just bought a volca sample and an H5 and i want to keep it stereo!

[@synthesizerlorne7405]

Great video! I noticed your Sample sounds crisper and less noisy than mine...did you apply external noise reduction/compression to get this sound, or does yours sound this good straight out of the output? Hoping mine isn't defective...

[@CaseWoo]

Synthesizer Lorne Yours is not defective. My recorder's built-in compressor was on when I was recording this. :)

[@synthesizerlorne7405]

Cool! Thanks for letting me know

[@n1hilism026]

Is your Volca plugged into that recorder from the headphone jack?

[@CaseWoo]

The volca is going in 1 and 2 at the bottom. The headphone jack is going to my speakers.

[@chandlergray3840]

What are the Midi capabilities of the device? I would like to use this with my Beatstep Pro, but I'm worried they won't communicate properly. Best case scenario I could sequence the Sample's sounds using the Beatstep, but if the midi would take the Beatstep's clock that would work too.

[@freekito]

You can sync using beatstep´s clock out. Volca sample use midi chanels 1-16 for each sample. So, you can use midi, but will not be able to send midi to another device. The other members of volca set work diferent, 1 chanel per device.

[@pheelia]

+Chandler Gray forgot to add: the volca takes the midi clock from a beatstep pro for example, thats no problem. only sequencing different parts/samples is difficult

[@dj-7154]

hi , i am in 2 minds. Shall i buy this or the Korg Volca Beats ? For underground music. Thanks

[@CaseWoo]

They are both completely different machines. One is a sampler and the other is a drum machine. I don't have the Beats but I may get it one day. Underground music also doesn't mean a thing and has no relation with equipment to me too. You can use a broken violin to make "underground" music. In other words, both Sampler and Beats and every music equipment on earth, are more than capable to make "underground" music, whatever that may be. These Volcas are so affordable, most people don't buy them because they need them. I bought all of mine out of curiosity and for experimentation. Buy them used and give them a try and see if they work for your style of music. Have fun! And thanks for checking out my video.

[@CourBarone]

all that sound is only the korg sample??? i have 1..i want to make it sound this good

[@jf5725]

SICK d^_^b

[@sckaterbean]

dont you have to use an ios device like the ipod or iphone to use the volca sample? Im dieing to play with one but do not have any ios devices myself, is there some way to work around this?

[@PgTrAxX]

Yes, only with iOS devices you can transfer new samples to it. They should've called it "iSample" for that matter. Also the reason i don't get this one :/ Good news is, The "Korg Electribe 2 Sampler" will come out soon...

[@CaseWoo]

Android, Windows, iOS, OSX are all supported by Caustic Editor for Korg Sample. www.singlecellsoftware.com/cevs

[@PgTrAxX]

yeah, but you can't connect V Sample to a computer so it only works with devices that can transfer wireless : )

[@CaseWoo]

Sure. But for $150 it's great.

[@collaborator541]

***** No it doesn't transfer wireless. In theory anything that can output audio with a jack can send samples to the Volca sample. There are now apps for Android and Windows and iOS. No wireless, just a regular cable.

[@garygillespie]

This sounds dope! Did you ever finish it and put it out?

[@CaseWoo]

+Gary Gillespie Thanks Gary! Nope I had no intention to finish it. Was just playing around.

[@analogskies7063]

Wow!! Amazing!! Are those default samples ?? My ears are bleeding from the kick sample!!

[@CaseWoo]

Thanks! Yes I like to exhaust defaults before I load anything new. :)

[@ZhoraGamer]

Shiiiit...((

[@TheMcPozitiv]

at first it was a nice laid back beat and then it turned into a complete mess :(

[@CaseWoo]

Lol thanks ;D

[@za3atta3k]

Very nice. Sounds like 90's Daft Punk.

[@CaseWoo]

Thanks!

[@Nijnvenijn]

Sounds great and it looks like loaaads of fun :)

[@railster]

[@CaseWoo]

Awesome! :)

[@thegradgrinder]

class

[@CaseWoo]

Thanks Andreas!

[@darkroom609]

yeahh

[@scarttho2b]

belle video de demo

[@CaseWoo]

merci beaucoup

[@MRemkay12]

must get it

[@CaseWoo]

yes must

[@danielfaraday8197]

Can I load some linndrum samples on it and create drum patterns like that? How easy is the sampling on this thing?

[@flacodean]

Sorry for the question (just dont understand) so, the jack goes into your speakers right? Now, where do 1 & 2 from the Zoom goes? Thanks! Awesome sound!

[@ethanbegleyhughes7237]

is it hard to create a melody with the hit samples?

[@256k_]

could someone confirm something for me? when you're switching from one sound to another, and you want to adjust a certain parameter, does it automatically jump to the value it was last left off or does it create a sort of pickup mode so it doesnt sound weird live?

[@jamiehoffmann9109]

Can't speak for the Sample, but on the FM it does "jump" to the exact value on the knob. So yeah, unfortunately you gotta know where it should be and turn that knob quickly. Just realised you posted this 5 years ago :))

[@camman1056]

When you're recording onto that zoom - can you still hear what you're playing or is it silent? Could you use a splitter to have one out to speakers and one to the recording device or would that dun goof the quality/make it too quiet

[@CaseWoo]

While the Korg is recording into the Zoom H5 via the inputs at the bottom, that cable on the left of the recorder is going to my speakers, so I'm hearing the whole thing.

[@rollrightknights3304]

lovely weight!

[@CaseWoo]

Absolutely. 372g is just fab! :)

[@redsurge7857]

Might seem like a noob question but is the device on the left to record the whole set from the Korg?

[@CaseWoo]

Hi Mo kumar, yes it is a Zoom H5 recorder.

[@PgTrAxX]

Loving that chord stab sound! Did that come originally with the V. Sample or did you transfer it yourself to the device?

[@CaseWoo]

Thanks. Yes I was just playing around with the built-in samples.

[@furiosound]

8:18 sounds like "beat for the douches" by mr. Oizo, lol

[@CaseWoo]

lol!

[@BeatGrooveRhythm]

Great demo of the capabilities of this machine, thanks. Do you need an apple product to load the samples ? iPhone / pad etc ?

[@CaseWoo]

Hi there and thanks for the comment. Yes there are 2 apps available for transfer of samples to the Volca. There are no other methods of sample transfer. "AudioPocket" by Korg is available only on iOS devices, and "Caustic Editor" available on both iOS and Android devices.

[@woobilicious.]

Caustic Editor now supports Windows and Mac.

[@mata8099]

what device did you use to record the sound?

[@juliengobet5498]

+Maťa Paulenová He use the Zoom h4n

[@teekanne15]

I wish those volcas had a rechargable built in battery

[@CaseWoo]

teekanne15 Well I've been using rechargeable batteries in all my volcas.

[@klassization]

hahahaha 909 kith great !!!!

[@CaseWoo]

Thanks Marius!

[@klassization]

maybe i will buy one, but you know a good aplication to transfert sample from a macbook cause i've no Iphone

[@CaseWoo]

Yes, just download the free installer from here... www.singlecellsoftware.com/caustic

[@klassization]

***** thx :) can't wait the 1st february to have one !

[@djwhelan4283]

Could this trigger and sequence samples from a external sampler like the Akai MPX16 ??

[@CaseWoo]

Hi David, unfortunately the Volcas are not able to trigger any external gear because they don't have MIDI out.

[@djwhelan4283]

However just spoke to a company and in the next few weeks there's a solderless mini out mod coming :)

[@CaseWoo]

Fantastic.

[@djwhelan4283]

***** Keep ya posted :)

[@rafaeltorres4548]

The best way to put a crowd on their feet with a 150 Euro machine...

[@CaseWoo]

It's 125 Euro today! :)

[@myautobiographyafanfic1413]

why do people only use drum samples on this thing? there's so much potential.

[@CaseWoo]

My Autobiography A Fanfic True dat.

[@janosgrausza8790]

This is a very weak level. Toys.

[@tomm3700]

Not everyone can afford vintage hardware synths...

[@Sprezlaus]

You have to start somewhere, I imagine you forgot how many times you wasted money when you where "new". With the Volca series you can learn and try on a budget. Love it? Buy better gear. Not you thing? Too bad, nothing (not a lot) lost.
