What do the Korg Volca FM 2 presets sound like?

After reading a few articles about FM synthesis and some of the artists who recorded music with the DX7, I recently decided to buy the Korg Volca FM 2. It’s something totally new for me to explore, so I didn’t think it made sense to try to find a real DX7 at this point, since I’m just mostly curious about this type of synthesis for now, plus this was a lot cheaper and smaller and I can sync the tempo with my Volca Beats which is pretty nice.
All of the sounds in this video are basically just some presets from the synth with very minimal adjustments like EQ and compression. The reverb and chorus are from the Volca FM 2.
At some point I have to learn how to actually program a sound, but for now I’m enjoying just hearing what the presets sound like.

I recently got one of these and I have to agree with you that the presets are fantastic and instantly usable 😀
