Korg Volca Beats Sinthesizerr Outlet

The Korg Volca Beats is an analog drum machine with a step sequencer inspired by the Electribe series. This hybrid drum machine features 6 analog drum parts and 4 high-quality PCM-based parts. SYNC and MIDI IN allow synchronization with multiple devices, including connection to a DAW. Battery operation and built-in speakers provide enhanced portability.

The Korg Volca Beats continues the classic drum machine tradition with six fully analog sounds: Kick, Snare, Hi Tom, Lo Tom, Closed Hi Hat, and Open Hi Hat. The sounds are shaped with a minimal set of parameters to craft the desired drum tone. For example, the three controls—click, pitch, and decay—create a variety of sounds. No matter how the controls are set, the sounds deliver a dense tone with the signature analog punch.

The Electribe step sequencer on the Volca Beats makes step editing intuitive. Notes are entered via 16 step keys, while the timing lights provide an overview of the rhythm. Separate phrases can be recorded in real time for each oscillator, and up to eight sequence patterns can be built. The Stutter function modifies the step sequencer with trigger repeats. Active Step creates new basslines by removing and inserting steps.
