Save yourself the hassle and save some money while you're at it. A power supply is included so you can plug in and play right away. An Austin Bazaar polishing cloth is included so you can keep your new instrument in mint condition. Aggressive sounds that stand up to the drums; fat sounds that support the rhythm; funky sounds that generate a groove - the volca Bass is an analog groove box that has what you need for a wide range of bass lines. Although simple in structure, the analog 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. Following in the footsteps of the monotron, monotribe, and MS-20 Mini analog synthesizers, Korg announces the Volca series. volca is a new lineup of EDM production tools comprised of three distinct models: the Volca Keys lead synthesizer, the volca Bass synthesizer, and the Volca Beats rhythm machine. These powerful and fun-to-use true-analog devices deliver a diverse array of fat sounds that can be obtained only from an analog synthesizer. Each is also equipped with sequencing/recording capabilities for intuitively generating performances. Multiple volcas can be used in tandem via the vintage-style sync in/out, and with your favorite DAW software or MIDI keyboard via MIDI In. Battery operation and built-in speakers mean that you can conveniently play anywhere and anytime. These are the next-generation analog synthesizers, bringing you the ultimate sounds and grooves with ease and depth. Whether used together or by themselves, the volca series is poised to in

This review applies specifically to the Volca Modular. I got the bundle from Austin Bazaar with cleaning cloth and power supply, seems reasonable value.This synth is essentially a miniaturized modular synthesizer. You define sounds by plugging together various modules using tiny patch cables. "Real" modular synths take up an entire room and look like terrifying nests of cables. This thing is about the size of a large paperback.True to its origins, the Volca Modular does not have a MIDI input, only CV (control voltage). If you want to connect a different input device, you need some kind of USB to CV or MIDI to CV converter. The world of West Coast synthesis does have a bunch of CV native control devices. The littlebits Control Voltage bit will work too, if you want to make your weird input systems.While it is certainly usable as a performance instrument, it really shines as an educational tool. A collection of Volcas fits in a travel case, and lets you demonstrate a wide range of synthesis techniques. The entire Volca range is thoughtfully designed, with useful legends on the controls. All cables and connections are via the front face, nothing on the sides or back. This lets you fit a bunch of them together side by side.The manual is quite terse. I would strongly suggest looking up a YouTube playlist called "volca modular Patch of the Week Series" and going through those examples.

Yes, this instrument is intended as a step sequencer based jam box, but it is also a very solid analog synthesizer. You can also use it as a three voice polysynth. The sound is great, and the options are solid. Ideally I'd want to be able to select square or triangle waves instead of sawtooth. I'd also want to be able to manually tune the second and third oscillator. More memory slots for sequences and the ability to set sequence length would be great. However, when you look at the price and size of this item, it is super powerful and well featured for the price. Buy a cheap MIDI controller, and two or three Volcas, and you have a pretty powerful synth studio for under $600. Well worth the price.

Fun stuff. I am learning about analog synths on this thing. It's affordable, so don't expect it to be everything an analog synth can be. It's not a Prologue.So, here's are my cons. The keys are difficult to get used to. If you have a midi controller, use it. Also, the sequencer is a bit limited. If you have access to a DAW or step sequencer, you should experiment with those things and figure out what you like. Last, this is a limited experience. For example, you have only two ways to use the LFO to modulate the sound waves from VCOs. But I can overlook these things and still recommend this product based on the price.So, I would consider buying something upgraded from this if I were making the purchase today, but that is only after playing with this for a month or so. With that said, I would not have known that if I hadn't purchased this and played around with it for a month.I could imagine wanting to see if I like analog synth, purchasing this and not finding it to my liking. If that happened, at least I didn't pay a fortune. On the other hand if I had purchased a more expensive analog synth and discovered that I didn't like it, I would be out more money. And -- really -- that's it for me. It turned out to be a good value that got me excited to learn more.
