One Of The Most Underrated Synths // Korg Volca Keys

Wow, I'm kind of looking around at what the next addition to my dawless rig will be, and I think we have a winner.

the sequence has active steps to forgive some....

Underrated abbreviated synth, yes maybe. I like the sound, but the limitation of sound design keeps me from buying it. I would rather save my money and buy a Minilogue...which I did. The Minilogue may be the highest value of any synth ever invented and mass produced in history. Fantastic: build quality, modulation options, oscillator options, sound quality, and a wide range of sound possibilities. It took me 5 years before I had the money for it, but I finally got it. Worth the wait.

I‘m searching for something to jam around Synthwave/Ambient Style (and learn about synthesis). Is this lil thing good for that?

It's not underrated, it's rated for what it is, a toy with kid sized knobs. I returned it after playing 20 mins with it
Add 100 Eur and get a used Monologue. That's a synth.

Love the Sound of the Keys❤

I have had my Volca Keys for 10 years now and I still use it almost daily. Fantastic little groovebox.

Creo que ví esa película 😊

been trying to find one of these for ages and now have a beats, bass and monologue i've found in the process but still cant find a keys. if anyone can point me to where i can find one i'd appreciate it a lot!

Great video, great sounds.
Do you know if the LFO is MIDI synchable on the Keys?
I have 2 Volca Basses and would get the keys if this was the case.
Thanks

Great ideas. I have a volca keys as well as the mix, nubass and sample 2. This is the one I keep going back to for originality though and since I got the arturia keystep it is easier to use

why use a hardware synth at this point when you can just use software synths of like Ableton Live and a midi controller?

Great 3 sounds.

Very helpful !! !! 👍👍Thank you !! !!

What a gem!.. So glad I found this post, It's going into my library forever. Much appreciated. I wish more, were like you.

Quick question from a synth noob: Where does the kick sound in the first sound come from? Is it included in the midi that you're sending to the Korg as a short an low note or is that another track in the DAW mixed in?

this is good. i like my volca bass, and it often can match what people are doing on the keys. not so with what you are doing. this vid shows some clear unique offerings of the keys.

It's hardly underrated, it was a top seller for a long time and there are countless articles and videos about it.

I like the fat sound of unison + detune, but I don't like the fiddly little knobs. What's a similar capability desktop synth module that's a step up from this in terms of usability? Presets would be a bonus, because I can never remember how I made a given sound.

Can you play thru it w a guitar? Does it record?

What a great video, you helped me see my little machine with different eyes :)

This is how gear video’s should be: hey kids here are three sounds you want to use on how to make them on a piece of gear you cam afford

👍👍

NICE ❤

This is great ! Thank you so much !

its a great machine, in the right hands it shines :) Great things are simple.

Just got one of these beasts today. I hope it doesn't eat me while sleep. Nice video!
