Volca Bass chords in 1 pattern

Here's demo of how you can create a chord sequence with the Korg Volca Bass using just 1 pattern. You could make this twice as long by using a lower tempo (eg 17bpm for a 136 bpm track). Now you have both hands free to play another instrument!

The sounds that these boxes make are incredible. Nicely done.

[@zerobeat2020]

Volca Bass is one of the most underrated bass synth ever. I have the Beats, Bass and Keys, and while the Bass was at first the one I would come to last, it is now always the first synth I grab when starting a new jam or composition. Endless capability. Thanks Tony for showing how you did this, will add a complete new dimension to the Bass's capability. Incidentally, I make a lot of use of the LFO in sync with BPM and in square wave to make all sorts of gated effects. Love it.

[@TonyHorgan]

Maarten de Vries I agree! The LFO sync trick is really useful when you’re running the Bass at a lower tempo (maybe 1/4 or 1/8 of the main tempo) so you can play long chords with gated effects as you say with a square LFO or other effects with a different LFO shape.

[@crolodon8024]

Nice Tony, the Bass is a great machine that many people don't take enough time to experiment with. It's far from a one-trick pony!

[@dennismossinkoff7993]

so right

[@PaulJonkerHoffren]

I agree!

[@markashworth6293]

That's genius I would never have thought to make this track in this way, was only listening to this track the other day train spotting T2 was the reminder of the track. I might have a go and see if I can do this myself!

[@puzljpl]

I've watched this quite a few times. Insanely good!

[@JSmith-mu3fq]

Awesome! Thanks Tony. Big help you've been in my learning curve

[@StefanoPapaleo-TS]

Brilliant. Tony's the man! I gotta try it with the same exact gear. Thanks.

dope work!! makes me more excited for trainspotting 2

[@TheChannelofaDisappointedMan]

Respect. You did something very inventive with this box. :)

[@daviddavid9694]

Really clever idea!

[@azagedon]

Subbed, thanks for taking the time to explain everything :)

[@dimitrischiotis3397]

Thank you! This helped a lot!

haha, my Uni days are coming back - thank you!!

Great demo Tony

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MisterMotel]

can you explain to me why you tap the keys so fast while putting in VCO2 & 3? in the end the tempo is all the same right?

[@pigammon7843]

LAGER LAGER LAGER

[@abrokemillionaire]

Haha..very nice!

[@MikeGotteri]

Basic time decision arp on monophonic notes - then routed through Mini KP with delay? I have both of these boxes and have been playing around with this type of sounds. 😎

[@TonyHorgan]

Skip on about halfway to see how it's done. It's playing chords using the 3 oscillators to play different notes at the same time.

[@housemachine509]

Great video bravo

[@patrickbodine6010]

Late to the party as usual. Awaiting delivery of my keys and bass.

[@TonyHorgan]

Have fun with them!

[@fantasyproduct1042]

right I'm giving this a go! what inspired you Trainspotting 2 ;)

[@TonyHorgan]

Kevin Roberts yeah, T2Trainspotting has had a lot of publicity this week so I've heard the original a few times in a few days :-)

[@Bansenshukai9]

Tony Horgan I recently bought the volca beats and FM,and I was wondering, how can I link the two together so I can hear their combined sounds with my headphones(?) Is this even possible, or do I need to go direct to a speaker/monitor for audio output(?) TIA.

[@fantasyproduct1042]

Bansenshukai9 I guess short term you could use a headphone splitter for 2 units but ideally, and for expansion purposes you would need a mixer

[@jfmuk]

A cheap solution is the Belkin Rockstar www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00E9W11QM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@bboymac84]

korg simply needs a small mixer with great sound quality

[@tonymccaff2937]

Tony. Tony here too. mate can you give me a breakdown of all your studio/shed gear . Your rendition of rez/cowgirl made me go by the korg collection but there is tons of stuff needed for a small setup like yours. can you recommend cheaper alternatives to the likes of the Roland etc?? be greatly appreciated mo chara

[@TonyHorgan]

Let me know what sort of gear you want and I'll give you some suggestions.

[@MikeGotteri]

Tony Horgan I would also welcome any more of your suggestions re setup wiring/routing of small gear. Nice work from THE Volca MASTER! \*/

[@HeIiosphan]

Why not using the Step rec ?

[@gkeaoyrge]

Choose life 😁

[@dennismossinkoff7993]

this is the trick mate as long as the song is old.... but nice goin

[@DONTKLEDONME]

How'd you calculate that 17bpm would sync with a 136bpm track?

[@TonyHorgan]

You need to find a factor of the main tempo. This is easier for certain tempos. Here, I am using 17bpm because 136 (bpm) divided by 8 = 17. The Volca Bass will sync with a 136bpm track at 1/8th of the speed of the 136bpm tempo. You would need to “sync” it manually, but that is easy with some practice - just press Play at the right time, and tweak it with the tempo knob if necessary ( turn the tempo up or down for a moment and back to 17).

[@DONTKLEDONME]

@@TonyHorgan hot diggity dog I wouldn't have gotten into music if I knew it involved math! Too much hardware purchased to turn back now!

[@simonesantoro3195]

ciao, ho provato a seguire le tue indicazioni, riproducendo passo passo quello mostrato in video mettendo il tempo a 140 bpm ma non è assolutamente riuscito purtroppo! va molto veloce e non riproduce affatto quei suoni :-(

[@mario-decima]

en español por favor!!!

[@TonyHorgan]

¡Hola! Aquí hay una demostración de cómo puede crear una secuencia de acordes con el Korg Volca Bass usando solo 1 patrón. Puede hacer esto el doble de tiempo usando un tempo más bajo (por ejemplo, 17bpm para una pista de 136 bpm). ¡Ahora tienes ambas manos libres para tocar otro instrumento! Volca Bass acordes Te mostraré cómo lo hice al final. Seleccione el rango de tempo "completo". Esto le permite crear patrones más largos. Mantenga Func y Power On. Esto le permite modificar los parámetros Global Parameters. Presione la tecla 5 para cambiar entre "Tempo Narrow" y "Tempo Full". El rango Tempo Full es de 10bpm a 600bpm. Ajuste el tempo a una división del tempo de su canción. P.EJ. 140bpm / 4 = 35, por lo que aquí el tempo se establece en 35bpm. Es posible que prefiera trabajar de otra manera y obtener el tempo principal de su pista multiplicando este tempo por 4 u 8. Cargue un patrón y elimínelo. Primero puede reproducir el patrón para verificar si desea conservarlo y borrar un patrón diferente. Ingrese la secuencia de acordes, programando cada VCO a su vez. Aquí estoy presionando el teclado para poner una nota en cada paso. Puede mantener notas para acordes sostenidos. Escucha la grabación cuantizada. Guárdelo si está bien. Si está mal, solo sigue grabando, toca nuevas notas por encima o borra y comienza de nuevo. Seleccione VCO 2 y toque las notas para el segundo "dedo" de la secuencia de acordes. Yu puede usar Clear Part para eliminar notas solo para este VCO, o grabar en la parte superior o guardarlo. Ahí está bien ahora. Pase al VCO 3 pero no olvide guardar primero el patrón. Ahora toda la programación se ha completado. Ahora puede ajustar el sonido o someterlo a algunos efectos. Este es un Korg Mini KP2, un procesador de efectos portátil. Es un poco ruidoso pero funciona con baterías y puedes llevarlo a cualquier parte. Ajuste el tempo para que coincida con el tempo de la pista. A veces es bueno establecer el tempo del retraso ligeramente por encima o por debajo del tempo de la pista para obtener un sonido más funky. Aquí estoy usando el efecto Phaser Delay. Presione el botón Hold para mantener el efecto activo cuando retire el dedo.

[@andriebayuajie7801]

Is volca bass poly?

[@carlosbuchlein]

In some way if you record independently on each oscillator.
