With 6 note polyphony now. I might actually get one. Great video!

[JorbLovesGear]

Damn the random ones actually hit kinda hard...and the reverb adds so much. Good stuff!

[elsantoproductora]

A compact, 6 voice polyphony, Dx7 compatible sound module, I love Korg

[kathleencoveny]

You speak it as it is .. which is great .. allowing for a full understanding of what the parameters are .. what to expect .. thanks for another thorough walk through .. cheers !

[shapeshiftersmediagroup]

really cool! have you tried bending the pitch with a mod wheel or portamento slide?

[BmcvideoDesign]

Hi there from France. Great video! I have a question, i didn’t find anyone talking about quantise. Does it have that automatic based on the bpm or how this function is working? Have a great day.

[MindlessTurtle]

I might get it just for the TRS output. That's sick!

[marcwieder]

TikTok got me here :D Great Video tho! maybe check out the Volca Bass, on of the oldest ones, but I've seen/heard impresive things

[NathanWainwrightdotca]

Damn that thing looks like fun; Just ordered a Korg NTS-1 (getting it tomorrow); but for a summer purchase; this might be a fun item to snag as well. (Appearently launches in May?)

[hellf.o]

Wow this is awesome!
Anything about a volca drum 2? It would be amazing..
Thank you so much!

[aseomg]

Well, this was unexpected. Guess I'll hold off going to bed, lol

[marantz]

Great video Liam, how do you find the newly included reverb? Is it decent or are you more likely to use reverb from another source with it? It was a bit hard to tell in the video.

[timdanyo]

Korg is the new FM King. I have the OG FM. Debating now wether to sell and get this little gem or have both?

[lastSKYsamurai]

Were you at 7:00 playing a different midi sound set over the prerecorded loop? Was that from the Keyboard or from the Volca? I’ve found that when I try and layer a new loop over one already recorded if I change the program the first prerecorded loop changes to that program too which is super disappointing If there’s no way to de-sync that function. Thoughts?

[blkrbbt]

On a serious note, I noticed that small black pedal stand you use in your vid’s. It’s looks beefy and I would love one to prop up things on my overly crowded table as well. I like how it tilts.

What brand?

[bjamminsincebirth]

I would just save the presets and record into a daw or sampler.😊

[andresdecisionrm]

Good vide! Can you tell me if Sustain and key velocity works from an external kboard?

[djkanyon]

I heard some Volca OG videos, it sounded like Sega console in a lot of ways, but with FM 2 i don't hear it anymore. Is it just me?

[cloudpierre]

i want the random and 6 note polyphony, but i don't want the auto metronome and trs ports. maybe if they ever go on sale or i can find a cheap used one i'll swap . hopefully there will be a way to turn off the metronome though, that seems annoying af
