Korg Volca Bass Analog Bass Machine

Full Description

The Volca Series offers the ideal introductory synthesizers, giving you unlimited sonic enjoyment and letting you create a diverse array of sounds that can only be obtained through an analog synth. Volca Bass gives you a powerful, analog bass sound, bringing you the ultimate sounds and grooves with ease.

Volca Bass is an analog bassline groove box giving you a wide range of basslines from aggressive sounds that stand up to drums and fat sounds that support the rhythm to funky groove-generating sounds. Its simple structure has an unmistakable presence that can't be found with digital synths. Ideal for those new to synths, Volca Bass' step sequencer is distilled from the Electribe and is not only intuitive to use, but inspiringly powerful too.

Three oscillators generate a variety of thick and unmodulated bass sounds with incredible diversity. Create a sequence that uses each oscillator individually and you can create a complex pattern in which three different phrases are woven together, for bass sounds with awesome presence.

Korg's legendary analog filter has been fine-tuned specifically for the Volca Bass to create a crisp and bright sound, which can be altered using Cutoff. The Peak Knob can create great-sounding resonance distortion, important for styles like acid music.

Simply-structured, Volca Bass provides carefully selected parameters, ensuring that the sound you want can be created intuitively. This makes Volca Bass an ideal introductory instrument for learning the fundamentals of synths and the enjoyment of creating your own sounds.

With a step sequencer distilled from the Electribe, editing is made easy and you can improvise by adding or removing parts. Use the 16 step keys to intuitively enter notes and enter completely different phrases for each of the three oscillators. Play the touch panel keyboard to record in real-time and store up to 8 sequence patterns in Volca Bass' internal memory.

Slide function creates the impression of connected steps, and effects similar to a short loop can be created with the Active Step function, which skips steps during sequence playback, allowing for a dynamic performance.

The Volca Bass solves the problem of pitch drift with its self-tuning function, constantly tuning the oscillators so you never have to interrupt a performance for tuning.

Connect Volca Bass with the rest of the Volca Series or a Monotribe using the Sync Jack. A MIDI-in connector lets you synchronise with other devices, play the Volca from any MIDI keyboard and send note messages from your DAW.

The Volca Bass analog bass machine has a compact size and a built-in speaker, easily playable anytime, anywhere. The ideal starter-synth.
