Volca Bass: Fat Analog Bass Module


303-style bass lines in an ultra-compact synth





While there are as many genres of electronic music as there are stars in the sky, they've all been influenced at some point by the iconic 303 bassline synthesizer. Think drippy, squelchy, resonant bass and wild glides. You get the same fat analog vibe with the Volca Bass, but it's much easier to program than the notorious 303 (and costs a whole lot less too!).





Ready for both live performance and studio production





The compact Volca Bass is surprisingly versatile ? connect a MIDI controller and play it live, arrange your own patterns and manipulate them on the fly, or connect it to an external sequencer. The sound is huge, punchy, and powerful, and you'll love the vibe it adds to your music.





Volca Beats: Powerful Analog Rhythm


Six analog parts and four PCM parts, fully editable





Let's cut to the chase ? the Korg Volca Beats gives you six analog drum parts and four PCM drum parts, fully editable to your heart's content. That means you can create everything from punchy, glitched-out rhythms to booming 808-style grooves. And even though Volca Beats is an analog drum machine, you can store multiple patterns for easy recall later on.





A powerful sequencer makes it easy to create





The Electribe-style sequencer on the Volca Beats drum machine lets you create 16-step patterns, and store up to eight of them in internal memory. A cool Stutter function lets you easily create repeated triggers that'll instantly add some excitement to your pattern.





Truly portable, and easy to integrate with other gear





With its compact size and optional AC or battery power, the Korg Volca Beats is truly a go-anywhere groove box. Best of all, it's got the right connections to interface with any of your gear. It's got a MIDI input so you can control it via any MIDI sequencer, and ieven has Sync I/O so it can play in time with Korg's Monotribe and Monotron analog synthesizers. Or simply create whatever drum sounds you like, then sample them for sequencing elsewhere.
