NEW Korg Volca FM2 - The Falcon's First Impressions!

[@tom-541]

I've always admired that Anderton's willingness to shout-out the team behind the camera and it's good to see the falcon has gotten some screen time too! Bravo Chris - great video.

[@TheChrisVella]

Thanks for the love Tommy ❤️ appreciate it!

[@Roguetrainer]

The Falcon takes the lead!! Fantastic!

[@TheChrisVella]

Trying my best! Cheers man

[@geoffwebber8272]

Love the fact that the Falcon wants to learn from the hate as well, it's not just Jack being paranoid!

[@matzer8846]

Oh i love these 80s sounds of the DX generation/family ... this was a quantum step back then🪒 Great demo ❗Thanks a lot for sharing ↗

[@carbonvibes]

Great video Falcon ! Thanks for sharing, love the sound examples 🔥👍🏼

[@derekfernandez7701]

Great and thorough first impressions video! I have the OG Volca FM and I love it! The reverb and extra polyphony make this update tempting! Thanks again!

[@chrisdavies9143]

Great to see the Falcon getting in front of the camera. Great job mate

[@TheChrisVella]

Hopefully not to cringe 😂 cheers man!

[@chrisdavies9143]

@@TheChrisVella not at all mate, you were great. I'm all for squad rotation!

[@magicknight8412]

Love the Volca series. My Volca Bass was the first thing I bought from Andertons! Love it and my Volca Sample 2.

[@MichalSada]

beautiful sound, this machine is awesome

[@PeresD]

Great work, that sound is amazing, beautiful, lush!

[@roryduncan9360]

Omg - it’s the Falcon!!!!

[@billyfox7017]

Nice work Falcon! Great demonstration.

[@TheChrisVella]

Many thanks 🙏🏻

[@know_not_wickedness]

People keep trashing the Volca line, but for someone just getting into or doesn't want a PhD in electronic music, they aren't so bad. You can get 4 or 5 units for less than a higher end midi keyboard. Thanks for the great video.

[@annother3350]

I think the problem was the old Volca FM's 3-note poly was a bit too restrictive

[@smaller_cathedrals]

You're right, you can get 4 Volcas for less than a "proper" synth, 5 even if you're buying used. However! You're better of getting 1 proper synth instead. Get a Hydrasynth, a Monologue XD, a Minifreak, etc. and it'll be a better experience than dealing with a couple of Volcas.

[@lycancatt4248]

i really like this more technical side too! good job

[@adamrobinson8620]

The Falcon escapes the Dux!!!! Well done!!!!

[@I.M.Guitar-Nerd]

Nice job, Chris!

[@TheChrisVella]

Cheers man!

[@budgetguitarist]

Go, Falcon, GO! Great job, cool synth. I kinda want one and the price can't be beat.

[@ed18]

Go Falcon!

[@emixbase]

Beautiful demo !

[@dinogoldie9716]

Can Andertons Music/anybody reading this please recommend a basic mixer for use with half a dozen volcas? Nothing fancy: 6-8 channels (including a couple stereo channels), basic EQ and at least one send bus for FX.

[@JeffPalmer83]

Nice video!!

[@billappeldoorn990]

I’m most likely going to buy one, but very disappointed that the trs to midi adapter is NOT included.

[@annother3350]

I know I bought one and had to wait 2 days to be able to use in my setup!

[@dinogoldie9716]

Where's the portamento/glide for the mono setting? Where's the swing? Where's the ability to send arpeggios via the MIDI out?

[@michelvanbriemen3459]

Hot dang, some presets on that machine sound like they're straight out of a Sega Genesis Veeery nice

[@pickyyeeter]

As a kid, I always wondered why the Genesis sounded so different compared to the SNES. I didn't find out it was FM until a couple months ago

[@G.Man-]

This Volca will be soley used for the next Stranger Things season OST

[@G.Man-]

I've only watched season one so far, no spoilers please

[@kinetic-cybernetic]

That's analogue this is FM 😅

[@apislapis]

Nice. The Maltese Volca.

[@TheChrisVella]

It has a bit of a ring to it! 🧐

[@mybachhertzbaud3074]

This would be a fantastic box to put up on the right corner of a Deluxe Hydrasynth😎🎶🎹🎹🎶Play On

[@tlatsegms]

Great sound⚡

[@SpeccyMan]

I think you'll find it is the modulator that affects the carrier!

[@Mark_Williams300]

It's nice to see someone with a full head of hair in front of the camera for a change

[@PendelSteven]

Tje previous video in my playlist was from Canada where everyone not from B.C. apparently was subtitled, hardcoded in the video. *So glad we are Europeans*

[@arcticfoxstudios2018]

Falcon, nice to meet you. Fox.

[@TheChrisVella]

Nice to meet you Fox!

[@Melodic623]

How does it compare to the korg opsix?

[@gershon2481]

Closer to a true DX7 sound than the OpSix. But the OpSix can do a lot of sounds the DX7 can’t.

[@Melodic623]

@@gershon2481 cool thx 🙏

[@patrickr6505]

I'm a noob at synths..I'm deciding between this and the Arturia MicroFreak as my first hardware unit 🤔

[@annother3350]

I have both -- I think you'll pick up editing the microfreak quicker than this

[@patrickr6505]

@@annother3350 I got the Microfreak..

[@anonymous_friend]

How is this different than what an ipad app can do?

[@dammers89]

Falcon!!!

[@MrVleker]

Never took much interest in the Volca series but this seems and sounds very impressive. How does this compare to the dexed VST?

[@ogasi1798]

DEXED will mince it is so many ways

[@annother3350]

The Volca has a better sound -- probably due mainly to the lovely chorus. The volca is also better for real time tweaks where Dexed glitches

[@DankePlace]

I can see the keyboard not being big enough for the Volca.

[@ciggy_]

Wait so you’re telling me he isn’t an actual falcon?? This is an outrage!!

[@TheChrisVella]

I’ve been exposed!

[@lukerabin5079]

The song that demonstrates the synth treacle potential of FM synths is “Together in electric dreams”.

[@iixorb]

Great demo, well done. Disappointing update to the original Volca FM though in my opinion. Ironic that it’s only capable of ‘1983 analogue polyphony’ when it should be 16 note polyphonic (at least), like the original DX7, given that it’s nearly 40 years on since the DX7 mk1 was released!

[@MrDaigoRiki]

Hi Chick Corea’s son.

[@tompoynton]

“intuitive interface” said no FM synth ever lol

[@JeffPalmer83]

Opsix?

[@EdgyNumber1]

Saw the title to this video. Sound like the eighties???? I hate that. Volca FM2 is so much more than just a clichéd, cheesy, rinsed-to-death DX7 clone. Please be creative and stop comparing 'EPianos.' Show me what this can actually do, not what you want it to mimic.

[@DaraM73]

“Expanded” midi connectivity is not midi, and Korg doesn’t include the midi adaptor.
