Volca Bass - 6 minute improvisation

Warm sesh 1
Something slightly different. One of my top KZbin searched terms is "Volca Bass", so what did I do in all my KZbin content creation wisdom? Ignored it 🤣
But I was thinking of something to do to take a break from lo-fi beats and thought "live Volca Bass jam, why not?" Why not indeed, so here we are.
It's a rough jam, some ok bits here and there, it was nice just jamming out with no real goal or direction.
I was thinking about doing a narrated version, could be funny, let me know if you like this format 🤙

Your impromptu performance video using three VCOs from VolcaBass, like a groovebox, is truly intriguing. The occasional appearance of the male dancer and emojis adds a delightful accent, making it a lot of fun. I'm quite fascinated by your improvisational skills and beat-making. I'd love to see more of your music-making with various synths.

[@Warmsynths]

It's really cool being able to have the separate voices on the vbass, really makes it fun to use solo. Haha I thought it'd be funny to add DJ Khaled dancing, might add more little easter eggs in the future 😉 Thanks mate I really do appreciate you watching and commenting, and yeh lets get some more of these live jams with different synths going!

[@Two-Eyed_Boy]

Okay being a beat boi, my expectations were admittedly tame for this beat-less jam. But hearing this evolve from krautrock, to post rock and then dip into modular eurorack territory, you're going to have to do this again sometime! Very very cool sesh!

[@Warmsynths]

Haha you me and me both about the tame expectations, I was pleasantly surprised it didn't devolve into angry fart territory, admittedly I did lean towards playing safe with the cutoff etc I reckon i'll have another go soon and narrate my thinking as I go about it, might be interesting. Thanks mate! 🤙

Mate, I’m just gonna echo everyone else here and say that this is frikken wonderful. I don’t think that the Bass has ever sounded so good solo ❤❤❤

[@Warmsynths]

Eyyyy thanks so much mate! Always a bit nervous trying something new, but your and everyone's support has been so great!

[@naiveloops]

6 min of glorious improv on the Volca Bass. "They didn't know it was impossible, so they did it". Brilliant! Cheers!

[@Warmsynths]

Haha yay! Thank you mate!

[@SebticSmile]

What a joyful session! Makes me want to get my bass out again

[@Warmsynths]

I forgot how you can really get lost in these little things, just plink plinking along! Thanks for stopping by mate!

[@SimpleHold]

Very nice sound! I’ve never played a volca bass but I like the tone a lot. It’s good to hear it again. I was thinking recently that you do so well with the sampler tracks, and I enjoy those so much, but I do miss hearing synth jams like this.

[@Warmsynths]

I always feel like i'm barely in control of the vbass, as if it's always a touch away from growling out of control haha Thanks mate thats really nice to say, I felt the same, i've been journeying deep into sample beats territory 😀

[@henriquevital9307]

you went crazy programming the second and third vco's, great jam

[@Warmsynths]

Haha thanks mate, yeh can't let that first vco have all the fun amirite? 😄

[@ImmortalIdeas]

Liked!!! Excellent my friend!!

[@Warmsynths]

Yehhh thank you bro!

[@vozh-kc]

man's going back to the basics! ya i dig the idea, and there's some neat sounds in there for sure: around 2:00 is giving me mad mr. robot vibes, for example, or that bit around 3:30 is like some kinda sickkkk romhack of sid meier's civ 1 intro. and the way you're making it so percussive at times is, not gonna lie, giving me IDEAS

[@Warmsynths]

haha duuuude so happy you got all this from my mucking around! Lemme know if you want any samples or anything ill try get some stuff to you!

[@maydonpoliris]

Me too! 😂 I love the VBass but never use it anymore. Such a good synth a cool jam WS 👌

[@Warmsynths]

Haha cheers mate, yeh it was literally gathering dust as I was mulling over things, so it seemed a good time.

[@ATJ-sTAt]

Bass, Key and Drum are definitly the best Volcas to improvise with!

[@Warmsynths]

The vbass was my first ever synth and this jam brought back memories of just sitting down for ages playing around with wacky sounds haha I remember the first ever patch was this hectic fart sound and I thought the thing was broken 😂

[@ATJ-sTAt]

@@Warmsynths It would be 10 times greater if there was a way to save the sounds..... I have 5-6 Volcas and a Hydrasynth. That pretty much covers my need.

[@Warmsynths]

Yep you're right, saving sounds would be so good. Ohhh how is the hydrasynth?

[@ATJ-sTAt]

@@Warmsynths It's way better than expected! Imagine if Vangelis, Front242 and Depeche got to design a synth based on their preferences. That's the Hydra. All sound-modelling is visual and very intuitive. The sound? Massive.

[@blarnglaibly9482]

so hype

[@Warmsynths]

Yeeeeeeah thanks bud! 🤙

[@drewstrom75]

The music is great but the little guy briefly dancing in the upper left corner: Sublime!

[@Warmsynths]

Hahah thank you! DJ Khaled never disappoints 😂

[@krachbude]

nice dancer 😅🤸‍♂️ nice show

[@Warmsynths]

Hahah little easter egg made me laugh, thanks for having a listen mate!

[@sensorycircuits1338]

Thank you for not soaking it in reverb. I really appreciate hearing how the oscillators really sound.

[@Warmsynths]

Thank you for checking it out!

[@robogod3000]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!

[@Warmsynths]

Woooo! Thank you! 🙌

[@wiggesobk]

Wow great performance man! Around 4 minutes it sounds like Terminator 1 lol

[@Warmsynths]

Cheers bud!! Wow you reckon? That reminds me once upon a time I had an idea to try recreate tv show or movie themes from memory haha

[@wiggesobk]

@@Warmsynths haha great idea

[@MIXtofMusic]

Bleep Blop and Greetz on top 🎉

[@Warmsynths]

Yayyy Heya dude! 😎

[@killzann7757]

Love it. Can I connect this synth to audio interface if I want to record audio in daw?

[@Warmsynths]

Thank you! Yep you definitely can! 🙌

[@devinwells9399]

Have been cycling through all your videos as inspiration for my first synth set up! Any recommendations for a beginner set up?

[@Warmsynths]

Thanks for checking out the channel! Hard to say without knowing your full context but the circuit tracks would be great for dipping your toes into a whole bunch of areas, it's a really fun groovebox!

[@Simone-DPS]

Ottima improvvisazione.belliddimo il suono. Secondo me il volca basso è uno dei pochi valido di suoni. Considero anche il volca FM fantastico

[@Warmsynths]

Grazie! I love the volca bass as well, the FM is still hard for me haha 👍

[@CNTRRNDM]

I want a Warm Synths basslines sample pack!!!

[@Warmsynths]

Alterrr now that is a great idea!!

[@CNTRRNDM]

@@Warmsynths so dooooo it😁

[@Volcaniced]

Oh wow wow wow .. this technique... Make the jam longer ... Even longer... About 45 Minutes and we are talking mate ;)

[@Warmsynths]

Haha heyyy it's the legend himself! Thanks for having a watch and listen mate 🙏 I'm still only swimming in the shallow end here, still very far from your 30+ minute epics 😅 I'll keep studying your videos and maybe one day!

[@Volcaniced]

@@Warmsynthsoh there Is a lot of talent ... I can see and hear it. Keep on going this way.

[@Warmsynths]

@Volcaniced that means a lot mate thank you! 🙏

[@madzpanda]

I never really wanted another volca. I think i told you why before.. every time i hear you use this i wanna ditch my td 3

[@Warmsynths]

Thank you bruz that really means a lot to me, but please dont ditch the td3 haha bust it out, get the party started!

[@glenesis]

The input to the filter on the td-3 is worth the price of admission. I play other synths with the td-3's CV and gate, and feed them into the td-3 filter and get CRAZY results! The TD-3 is my favorite utility box.

[@Warmsynths]

Iiiinteresting, never even considered that! 🤔
