you won't believe what i found inside my korg volca kick...

The Volca Kick is an extremely versatile, analog synth that costs less than $200. If you do not yet have one, you should!
BACKGROUND SOUNDS COURTESY OF:
Korg Volca Kick (custom patch to MS2000 audio IN)

[@stefan1024]

You can make cool noise music with almost everything. Like a patchblock and a distortion pedal. Or an old mixer with some cables. Or a 4000 dollar modular system. Or a piezo and e beer can. Or a delay pedal and another delay pedal ...

[@jpromano_]

Definitely one of the most interesting videos I’ve seen in a while

[@younggrigorov8888]

best christmas gift was finding your video thanks im having so much fun with my volca now

[@bagofdragonite149]

If you liked the Volca Kick's ability to create a grain synth you'd like the Volca Sample even better. The Volca Sample has a hidden feature which allows you to increase its BPM range up to 600. Since it's a sample sequencer you can literally place inside any sample texture you wish to work with. This sample can be edited in many ways, most notably the sample start and end point can be changed and automated. There is also a sample looping feature which allows you to effectively create a BPM far higher than 600 while looping is enabled for a sound. You can also have 9 samples running simultaneously with individual modulating parameters which allows for endless texture creation (not to mention you can cycle in new samples while others continue to play). There is a specialized sample #10 slot which overrides sample slot #9 (and vise-versa) which allows you to create a ducking effect if you wish. And this is all before you start introducing MIDI control which can bring things to a whole different level. I've tried most of the Volca models and would say that the Volca Sample is best suited to what you're doing. It's the most versatile instrument a noise musician can purchase for the money and hardly anyone talks about it for this genre.

[@baxoutthebox5682]

great info thank you very much

[@JumpingTurtle77]

Bag of Dragonite so does this mean you could make it a synth w nine voices of polyphony?

[@Youtuber-gm3ic]

how to set the bpm to 600 ?

[@zakizdaman]

@@JumpingTurtle77 yes

[@parasiteunit]

TBH, I am more excited about it NOT being controllable, other than taking chunks of audio output and assembling said noises via a sampler. Just imagine making a track using the Korg volca sample to sequence these tones... That would create so many insane possibilities. People forget that what are regarded as "classic" synths were often spawned by the synths getting used beyond the scope of their intent. The 303 was designed to provide basic bass sequences for lonely guitarists who had no bass players near.... Thankfully, some knob tweaking fruit loop began really screwing around with the controls. The rest, is now glorious acid squealing history. This, people is an important discovery...

[@rightside]

It’s like it emulates some FM settings and ring modulation… but just an approximation of those forms of synthesis

[@spazmatCc]

without a doubt; this is what Korg intended when they put that MS-20 resonator in there.

[@elektrosmiec]

5 years ago but Ay f.. love it thank u

[@Mokkers_stuff]

Great tip Bax! Thanks!

[@DJMizzy]

Holy shit. The video gets better and better. This is amazing. Subbed

[@slingual]

Thank you for sharing this video! Very informative and interesting (and fucking entertaining!). This is actually the 2nd time I stumbled over this vid and I remember that your content convinced me to buy the kick after the first time I watched this.

[@dtrninja]

Incredibly sick video dude! Love those dark sounds!!

[@elfusilado79]

This made my day. Thanks

[@Calverhall]

My favourite gear review youtube video ever

[@baxoutthebox5682]

wow, thanks so much :-)

[@davidgoode7416]

This is great stuff, thanks man 👊

[@0Fdigital]

This is amazing.. I should have done something similar with my volca kick when I had it!

[@nomadjames]

That was great. Thanks.

[@bonbondolly]

Hahaha dude, it might be the cold, but to me you kept sounding like a robot discovering the greatest secret to the universe as we know it (which in fact you did) :DDD Thanks

[@baxoutthebox5682]

lol, a foul-mouthed robot who is fueled by cough meds :-))

[@ge0metr1xx]

wow... thank for making this video. I had just uploaded a jam of my volca kick when i found your vid. i'm new to synths but i knew the kick had a lot more to offer than just bass drum =] I wanted to try make some clean mono pluck arps with it.... but this is another dimension... I cant wait to try this with my bass station

[@baxoutthebox5682]

right on dude thanks! i like your demo of the beats, nice arrangement to that jam

[@ge0metr1xx]

thanks man! i got a few kick jams on the way... one is chill and one is mean lol. Peace!

[@alexlokanin3312]

I love stuff like this

[@richardcnrd8302]

Haha awesome !!great noise beast hidden in there im buying one after seeing this

[@ME-ru4hv]

oh also are you psyched for the new ones coming? I am.. They seem even cooler than the previous ones wow!

[@TheLineofside]

14:10 mann i’m crying 😂😂😂😂 good video 🤣😉

[@teamgamechannel3143]

@14:10 definately in my top 10 favorite events in modern history

[@DJMizzy]

Team Game Channel facts

[@kkkutas]

the volca beats have also this function to set bpm to 600 the fm too so i think the rest also

[@Bj5m17h]

With the right settings you can get a very nice sub-bass sound that's good for rap, house, anything you want lots of deep bass for really. The sequencer is easy to program and has pattern chaining, so you can use it pretty easily for entire songs. You can do a lot of other stuff with it too, but that's what I like it for. Deep Bass.

[@matthewcody1757]

Just tried it on the beats and it works as well .

[@InkyDaCaT]

Brilliant video, thinking of getting kick and monologue and trying it!

[@teatime2595]

That was awhile ago but that was really good!

[@YouTubeSupportTeams]

16:12 here and lots of other parts similar to the sound effect in Terminator when you see through his eyes or HUD and the screen is red...

[@cwzialor]

When he screamed I felt that

[@ME-ru4hv]

I see that bubble sound wide osc/lfo I love that thing

[@pulusound]

where can i buy tickets to your noise show

[@parasiteunit]

Very interesting, have you tried using it as a modulator in a vocoder? Think there's some serious scope for some dronework/vocoder action. Also, the Volca kick is my next little box of joy I'm savings for 🙂

[@JamesDunnComposer]

Late to the party here, I know. I'm having trouble with getting my Volca Kick to record the TouchFX so that I don't have to hold the "Roll" button. What am I missing?

[@strictlystraightrandom1036]

hey mate thx 4 uploadin intresting video got a question did u tried it as a master with 600bpmand sync it to others of the volca family so that they also will get the 600bpm... would be interestin what would come out of the beats and the keys and so on

[@baxoutthebox5682]

awesome idea, I will try this out!

[@LiSpiral]

love kick

[@robertgray7853]

I wonder what would happen if you put the sound through the MS-20's pitch tracker.

[@baxoutthebox5682]

That would be a very interesting experiment.. A lot of these tones are heavy on harmonic content and since the MS-20 is monophonic it would probably get confused and waiver between multiple tones..Though, I cannot say for sure. Would def be fun to play with!

[@hightowerTB303]

It‘s a little 💎, it has that certain Kick ... 😉

[@baxoutthebox5682]

lol, nice one... i was really just trying to drum up support for my channel :-P

[@chrisblumenpflucker9188]

best analog kick!!!! when you are in love with bass and good sound on a low budget than you have to buy the volca kick!!! espacially with a distortion pedal.!!!!

[@DJMizzy]

Hmm. Noticed you haven’t put a video in a year. I hope all is well and you upload again

[@stuartcommon4651]

Despite the title being very current theme in Synth Memes, I did actually learn something new 😂

[@YouTubeSupportTeams]

Bravo

[@guiom77]

Thanks

[@_EightySix]

At one point I thought that mirror was a white bowl with a moist blunt wrap draped over the side.

[@baxoutthebox5682]

that was not an unreasonable thought

[@pyrox2518]

how do you manage to toggle the touch FX?

[@ionfreak2618]

Oh...my...God...

[@benreeves1908]

Nice find!

[@baxoutthebox5682]

Thanks for watching dude! I checked out your channel and now I am going down a youtube rabbit hole looking at Max MSP being used for audio visualization. Very cool stuff!

[@benreeves1908]

Bax Out The Box :)

[@OttosTheName]

'Am I artsy yet?' Great work man, love strange experiments like these. Sounds amazing! And I'm not even in to Noise.

[@laughingthrushmusic5269]

Wow. Have you messed with volca drum? I’m thinking about ditching mine to get a kick

[@rightside]

Amazing bro, so I’m thinking… for forest Psytrance… max the shit out of it, run the audio thru an Electribe 2 (just what I’m using) and trigger the signal on the sequencer whilst playing with controls on the Kick. Fucking very valuable information bro, cheers.

[@skurreskurt7756]

LOL theres a person trapped in here I had to stop the video after that!!! Its one of the most of not the most horrible noisecraft i heard/seen, theres a little Trent in you isnt there XD Amazing 👌 Please make a follow up on this one and molest the sound further and then some!! o/

[@drstupid1]

Sounds like the intro to Heres Johnny by Hocus Pocus :) classic

[@hightowerTB303]

drstupid1 Guess what? Just a few thousands of views and this little, charming piece of Hardcore got its deserved 1 Mio. views ... a lot of fans out there ... 😉

[@baxoutthebox5682]

fucking massive tune! definitely hearing the resemblance

[@drstupid1]

I remember when that track came out (yeah I'm old) and they used to play it on triple j radio ( in Australia) and it copped so much hate ha ha. Srsly what's wrong with people?? :)

[@baxoutthebox5682]

well...a lot of people are boring as shit

[@F-Andre]

men, that was a tune!!! :) when i was younger (i think around 13 at the time) i was kinda scared by that track :D also diss-reaction jiaaha ;D

[@spookypen]

That's.... a lot of Bismuth.

[@baillyyannis8823]

Sound like an old modem

[@Nightshade_42]

Do ya wanna funk Won't you tell me now

[@fotoniknoise]

Wow that's a thrilling beast, looking forward to get my self a volca kick! nice video! Today I almost did the same setup between Microkorg and volca bass (you can check the video on my channel), I got some spirits yelling in an abandoned factory sounds :D

[@baxoutthebox5682]

hell yes dude your vid is great. we have to exorcise these demons from our synths lol!

[@fotoniknoise]

Thanks mate, for your inspiring videos :)

[@baxoutthebox5682]

thanks for watching :-D

[@tradewhales9170]

Lol

[@mortarmopp3919]

Way to insult the modular community, dude.

[@plastictubenoise4591]

Why the fuck do I know this already from when I was like 12

[@TheLordcasio]

Cool video....don't get your random rant on "hipster"...you don't seem far off.

[@CesarPantoja0]

I hate the clickbait-ty title Can someone just tell me what he found? I'm not going to watch the video

[@baxoutthebox5682]

lol! cesar pandejo

[@GrannyBender]

Basically, someone trapped inside.

[@KarzenX]

Boogies

[@Syntax73]

a flock of seagulls screaming into a megaphone

[@zachariahpoltergeist4516]

What was inside will SHOCK you!
