Volca Minimal House & Deep Techno Jam (2019-10-12 Part I)

Live jam with 5 Volcas and a bunch of effects! This was the first time we did a jam with the Analog Heat, so we used it (the high pass filter) a lot, haha. Let us know what you think!
The original recording contained a long warming-up period which wasn't that interesting, so we decided to cut that and skip to the good part. If you want to hear some clips of what was cut, follow us on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter! Links at the bottom.
Korg Volca Sample + Zoom MS-70CDR
Korg Volca Bass + Strymon Timeline
Korg Volca Drum
Korg Volca FM + Chase Bliss Audio Thermae + Source Audio Ventris
Korg Volca Keys + GFI System Specular Reverb V2
Controllers: Arturia Beatstep Pro & Arturia Keystep
MIDI: Miditech MIDI Thru/Filter + Retrokits RK-004
Compressor: FMR Audio RNC 1773 + Zoom MS-50G
Master bus effect: Elektron Analog Heat
Mixer: Behringer XENYX UFX1204

@Caiden Kenneth thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@andrewgary4345]

@Caiden Kenneth It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much you really help me out !

[@MikhalB]

I like this jam! Minimal House and deep techno are some of my favourite styles of music. Keep it up it’s awesome!

[@stevenferrell]

this is great! never heard the volca's sound so good

[@coleskates17]

This is unbelievable ... the breaks, drops, transitions... SEAMLESS. Been playing with volcas for about a year but WOW the technical prowess is amazing. Love the use of the step sequencer for the bassline and the drum fx with the volca drum. Great job guys!!

[@Ramuchal]

I really like it. I find it impressive how you manage to do a real live performance and end up with a well structured and balanced set !!!

[@SlenterendeBeer]

Ramuchal : Thank you!! As you can hear from our other videos, it’s not always this structured - but we’re also very happy with this jam! :)

[@westparade4366]

That bass rhythm at the start is sooo nice. I've got it on repeat at work!

[@SlenterendeBeer]

Thanks so much man!! :)

I wish I had another pair of hands to jam with, absolutely stunning work

[@teatime2595]

Sounds good I'm glad they got volcas there perfect for beginners and pro's! I gotta get me the sample and bass then keys in some sort of order ha!

[@rools2roolsproject325]

Thank you guys.

[@ethanmorali8191]

This is awesome! Can you please drop a tutorial or a close up of your hands so we can understand what knob does what effect? great stuff!!

[@mattsmith1440]

Fantastic jam, thanks for sharing! Now, I have the same mixer as you and I believe the power supply has died. If you notice the recorder behaving erratically on power-on you might encounter the same issue at some point - I mention that in case you're thinking of using it live. Anyway, while it was working, I was concerned about the mixer not properly mounting and dismounting the HDD I used for recording, so I had a look for a solid state alternative. After a bit of trial and error, I discovered that a Sandisk Extreme USB stick (Extreme CZ80) will do the trick at 24 bits no problem.

[@SlenterendeBeer]

Matt Smith : Ahh cool, thanks for the tips!! :)

[@McDafty]

I like how everything you do makes sense after a few seconds ^^

[@MayenMusic]

What is your favorite Korg machine that you have tried so far? 🎛️🎚️🎛️🎶 thanks for the vid

[@SlenterendeBeer]

Mayen Music : It’s pretty hard to give one answer, because the Volcas are so different and serve different musical goals. But right now, if I had to pick one, it would be the Volca FM. Very versatile in its sound design capabilities, and a lot of fun to use. :)

[@1998MrLegoman]

This is one of the best minimal techno jams I've heard and by far the one that kept me hooked the most until the end. Sick setup, keep it up, cheers from Argentina!

Hi guys! Very cool! I am very excited about your video. I bought a similar setup and I had problems setting up arturia. Can you share your profile for bitsep and keystep plese?

[@SomewhereDownThere]

Nice stuff guys!

[@eridon63]

Wowowow !! This is sooooo great !! I want the Analogue Heat now hahaha x) I have several question , your setup mesmerize me EACH time I have the same behringer mixer , and a zoom ms 70 cdr , how do you use it ? Like a send ? A return effect ? How do you do the trick ? It’s the same question about the RNC 1773 : how do you do it with all the stuff ? I really dig to get one to get basic sidechain with all of my synths too , it’s an insert ? An aux ? I don’t get it hahaha I could say the same for the Analog Heat too x) You have connected it directly from the Main out ? If yes , how do you record it back ? Sorry for all those questions , but YOU GUYS have helped me out to get my dawless setup , and works like a charm so far I really want to get more and more dawless , but those kind of setup are at the same time a dream to have , but a nightmare to understand too x) Thx in advance !

[@SlenterendeBeer]

Eridon : Thanks for the kind words!! We don’t use the mixer FX send/return. Instead, every Volca is connected to a pedal first, which is then connected to the mixer. We use the MS-70CDR with the Volca Sample in this jam. If you want to know how we included the FMR RNC, check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3nVZn-BdrecpbM . It boils down to the following: we use the mixer’s “ALT3-4” sub group to send the sound from the Volcas to the compressor. That signal then goes to the Analog Heat, and then the signal is returned to the mixer. This way we can record both the individual tracks, and the compressor + “Heated” sound. Let me know if you have more questions. :)

[@TheThehomebanger]

Fantastic ❤

[@mandlenkosipaulmuhlwa7999]

Just came back after a whole year. Did you guys ever release this on vinyl or mp3? Would love that first track...???

[@sivur]

Great performance! Is there any mixing going on as well? Like how do you prevent the kick and bass to clash are you using some kind of sidechain compression?

[@SlenterendeBeer]

vacuumcleaner3000 : Thank you!! Yes, we’re using sidechain compression, here’s a video explaining how we’ve set it up: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3nVZn-BdrecpbM

[@hummingpylon]

sick setup, I sold all of my shit because it was giving me a headache

[@SlenterendeBeer]

nietzscheposterchild : Haha, I can imagine that :)

[@JanvanDale]

Love it guys! Could listen to this for hours!

[@sideshowbob2421]

Hopefully you could give me a hand, seems I'm getting some sync issues on my volcas. Curious to know what cables you are using for syncing and for sound output.

[@nikhilgidwani5789]

Love From Chicago!

[@BigUpVideo]

Did you know ... I now own most of this equipment ... all used, hard to find supply, and since covid all increased in price... now collector items.. I still need behinger 303. low supply :( $200 Canadian, maybe a few more effect pedals, korgs and beatsteps are way up.

[@simonhofman8193]

Hey great work! Question do you have both the volca sample and Volca drum being sequenced with beatstep pro?

[@ForeignFamiliar]

Great vid!! Really digging the vibe :). Just curious, why’d you hook up the bass to strymon timeline? Thanks!

[@SlenterendeBeer]

Foreign Familiar : Thank you!! In this jam we didn’t use the Timeline as a delay, but as a chorus effect. We used the tape delay setting, with delay time and repeats (feedback) set to their minimum values, and turned up the modulation. This results in a nice stereo chorus effect.

[@ForeignFamiliar]

Slenterende Beer ooh nice i’ve heard this commonly done within ableton delay but never via pedal, that’s dope! Is this a better approach to stereo bass than a chorus/modulation?

[@SlenterendeBeer]

Foreign Familiar : No, it’s not better, but it’s more versatile, because the Timeline can do sick delay sounds as well. :)

[@montenote]

You're back! Hooray!!!

[@dockdrumming]

Smooth AF. Nice stuff.

[@urka-off-world-adventures]

awesome stuff! Do you have a favorite delay and reverb which you use on your Zoom MS-70CDR connected to the Sample?

[@cedriclp]

Good sounds!! Good job.

[@MisterGrooves]

Fantastic, guys.

[@RinatShaykhutdinov]

Excellent live, guys!

[@MRemkay12]

Mein Gott wasn geiler mix

[@averydeloach]

This is amazing! Always envious of a nice hardware setup. I'm having a hard time tracking though, what sound is the sample making in this?

[@SlenterendeBeer]

Avery DeLoach : Thanks man!! We use the Sample for most of the drum sounds, with some additional percussion from the Volca Drum. :)

[@averydeloach]

That makes perfect sense, I was wondering how you got such stanky drums sounds from volca drum. Keep up this good good shiiiit

[@ludwigkopp8130]

It's your combined creativity and composing power that make these jams so good! 👍 the gear doesn't really matter next to that.

[@SlenterendeBeer]

Thank you so much, Ludwig!! :)

[@doktor.pajchiwo]

Great livejam!:)

[@Neurotypique]

Had to check every couple minutes if I did already push the like button

[@SlenterendeBeer]

Neurotypique : Haha, thanks man!! :)

[@deepermadness]

Do you run any external filters or mixer? Or mix after recording? To be honest my sample sounds terible, hiss and static.. this all sounds pretty clean. Keep up the good work! Misschien binnenkort een keer ergens live?. ;-)

[@SlenterendeBeer]

deepermadness : This is the raw mix, but we do use a compressor (FMR RNC) and the Analog Heat for some extra drive. To eliminate noise / static / hiss, make sure you don’t have a ground loop issue. I’ve linked 2 instructional videos in the description which provide some more info.

[@iplayddr3789]

would it be possible to run a similar setup just without the FX units and through a DAW so you could get the FX via vst plugins?

[@Snacktapus]

Sounds amazing guys - such a rich sound. Where is the pad sound coming from?

[@SlenterendeBeer]

Stephen McCarroll : Thanks!! The pad sound at which point?

[@Snacktapus]

@@SlenterendeBeer Yes should have been more clear :) - around the 4-5 min point especially? Just in the background with nice reverb on top.

[@SlenterendeBeer]

Stephen McCarroll : Oh that’s the Volca FM, hooked up to the Ventris. :)
