Korg - volca Bass - Analogue Bass Machine Synthesizer

Product Information

The analogue filter has been fine-tuned specifically for the Volca Bass. Turning the Cutoff knob to open the filter will make the sound brighter and more expansive; closing the filter produces a rounder and milder sound. Using the Peak knob to raise the resonance will initially produce a clean peak, and further increases will create great-sounding distortion. The resonance distortion that's so important for acid music has been tuned especially to accommodate bass sounds. Simple structure with a single VCF, VCA, LFO, and EG Whichever waveform combinations you choose, the Volca Bass sounds surprisingly fat and alive. Its greatest sonic richness is obtained by subtly detuning each VCO and you can gain further movement by introducing slow LFO sweeps of the filter cutoff — enough to loosen up the most robotic of bass lines.

All you need is to exactly note down the features and qualities you are looking for in your analog bass machine, and you are all set. Initially founded as Keio Electronic Laboratories, Korg is a Japanese multinational corporation specializing in manufacturing electronic musical instruments, guitar pedals, audio processors, tuners, and recording equipment. The difference is the big tube or valve that is on the unit’s top. The tube glows in two ways when the level and saturation dials are pushed on the sub-oscillator. The Volca Nubass has 16 sequences, so there is a lot you can do with them.

After the Step mode, you get access to three options, accent, transpose, and slide, all essential parts of the classic acidic sound with the Volca Nubass. Unlike the Keys and Beats, there is no 'Motion sequencing', that is, only notes and Slide information is captured by the sequencer and changes to other settings are not. The Volca Nubass is capable of doing full justice to the classic acid while adding more grit, squeal, and warmth. a) to Korg at its own expense using all reasonable endeavours to rectify any non-conformance with the warranty by repair (by way of a patch, work around, correction or otherwise) within a reasonable period of time or,

VOLCA BASS

The two analog bass machines that are about to discuss here are the Volca Bass and Nubass. Both of these options work remarkably well and will not disappoint. In this article, you will find the volca nubass review and Nubass review. The Volca Bass is an analogue bass synthesizer manufactured by the Japanese music technology company Korg. It was released in April 2013 alongside the Volca Keys and Volca Beats.

Volca Bass was designed in Japan and built in Vietnam and has a 'full analogue signal path'. However, as Korg explained to us, the "control signals are generated digitally" whilst the "CPU has a 10-bit DAC giving incredible near-analogue resolution". We can happily attest this to be the case.Each oscillator can be switched between square and sawtooth waveforms (sadly, there is no pulse-width adjustment or modulation of the square wave). The oscillators can be tuned up or down relative to each other. Small movements of the VCO Pitch knobs will tune the oscillator in cents, to a total of 50 cents (a quarter tone). Beyond 50 cents, tuning continues in semitone increments to an octave above or below the midpoint. The oscillators are self-tuning, to overcome problems of pitch instability. Company takes no responsibility for any loss including but not limited to loss of data, financial loss, or personal loss) that might arise from the use of, or the inability to use, the manual library or the specified software. You no longer have to deal with poor sound quality or beats that are too high, too low, or too high-pitched. The two analog bass machines that we are about to discuss have you covered and will not disappoint.

If supplied in conjunction with any Korg instrument or equipment, such Third Party Software shall only relate to the non-essential functions of such instrument or equipment. Moreover, you can also store eight sequences, and the sequence loading from the Volca Bass’s memory is instant, but no sequence chaining is available. Korg's Volcas are an attractive, interactive collection for analogue groove gratification. That they act as MIDI modules too is a bonus. But their real strength will be appreciated by those who jam with them, starting and stopping each freely and tweaking indulgently.Powerful analog bass sound creation and an Electribe-inspired sequencer for the ultimate bass lines Alternatively, you can use the one-finger chord built from the three mono parts. The oscillator groups on the Volca Bass control one, two, or all oscillators simultaneously while the MiniKorf-700s filter overdrives it. Unlike Stutter on the Volca Beats, the Keys' delay is a real digital delay. It's less noisy than that of the Monotron Delay but presumably the hiss is filtered or gated because the delays are duller than its predecessor but similar in quality otherwise. Still, even though it's dirty and imperfect it could be useful in certain situations. Tempo sync is provided too but the delay loses some range and versatility when this is active.
