Korg Volca Bass Analogue Bass Machine

Aggressive sounds that stand up to the drums - fat 303-esque sounds that support the rhythm, funky sounds that generate a groove - the volca Bass is an analogue groove box that has what you need for a wide range of bass lines.
Although simple in structure, the analogue sound engine has an unmistakable presence with subtle nuances that cannot be reproduced by a digital simulation - it's a great choice for acid house and many other styles of music. The step sequencer distilled from the Electribe is not only visually intuitive - it's also a powerful way to generate free form bass loops that will stimulate your inspiration.

Loop sequencer distilled from the Electribe series
Electribe-style 16-step sequencer with eight memory patches
Slide function that's indispensable for acid and other types of electronic music
Active Step function generates new bass lines by removing or inserting steps

Convenient functions for ease of use
Self-tuning function for constant, stable pitch
Sync In and Out allows clock sync of multiple instruments from the volca Series as well as Korg's Monotribe
Go-anywhere analogue: play anywhere with the built-in speaker and optional battery power

SYNC jack and MIDI IN connector allow synchronized performance with multiple units or with your DAW
By using the sync jack you can enjoy synchronized playback with multiple volcas or with a monotribe. You can also use the SyncKontrol iPhone app to wirelessly control tap tempo, swing settings, and synchronized playback with iOS music apps via WIST.

The MIDI IN connector lets you synchronize with other devices, as well as play the volca from any MIDI keyboard. You can also send note messages from your DAW and use the volca as an analogue sound module.

Self-tuning function
Until now, the problem with analogue synthesizers has been that the pitch would drift over time, or because of changes in temperature. Volca solves this by providing a Self-tuning function that constantly tunes the oscillators. You'll never need to tune during a performance, or wait for the pitch to stabilize after turning the power on.

With its compact size, battery operation, and built-in speaker, it's easy to take the volca anywhere and perform any time.

Korg Volca Keys Analogue Loop Synth

Mini 27-key polyphonic true-analogue lead synth from the Korg Volca series with built-in sequencer to generate the ultimate analogue sounds at a price anyone can afford.
Volca Keys is a long-awaited synthesizer that adds a new chapter to the long and storied history of Korg's analogue synthesizers. This 27-key analogue lead synth delivers unbelievably powerful sound in a compact body. Starting with a filter section that uses the circuitry of the legendary miniKORG700S (1974), it delivers astonishing sound that takes full advantage of Korg's half-century of know-how in circuit design.

With a simple structure that includes delay effect and a sequencer, it's also an ideal choice for a first analogue synth. It offers the richly expressive sounds that are distinctive of analog, providing the enjoyment of simple yet deep sound-creation. The possibilities are endless, you can use the three oscillators to play chords, use them in unison with detune to produce solid lead lines, or apply ring modulation to create far-out metallic sounds.
