Korg Volca Beats Analogue Rhythm Drum Machine
ANALOGUE DRUM MACHINE WITH STEP SEQUENCER AND MIDI
Peerless beats generated by solid analog drum sounds and an Electribe-style sequencer.
Loop sequencer distilled from the Electribe series:
- Electribe-style 16-step sequencer with eight memory patches
- Stutter function generates repeated triggers that dramatically change the sequence
- Active Step function generates new bass lines by removing or inserting steps.
- Step Jump function instantly plays only the step you’re pressing
Convenient functions for incredible ease of use:
Sync In and Out allows clock sync of multiple instruments from the volca Series as well as Korg’s Monotribe. MIDI In for note entry, plus external sync and control from your DAW
Go-anywhere analogue:
Play anywhere with the built-in speaker and optional battery power.
Even today, more than thirty years after the age dominated by analog synthesizers, we just can’t let go of the sound of analog rhythm machines. Those thick sounds have the power to stand up to guitar and acoustic drums, and are still indispensable for track-making or live performance. The volca Beats gives you those analog drums plus the easy-to-use step sequencer of the Electribe; it lets you turn your inspiration into reality and generate beats with the best high quality sounds.
