KORG volca Kick - Analogue Kick Generator

Product Information

You may not duplicate, alter, modify, rent, lease, resell, assign, loan, sub-license, distribute the whole or part of the Licensed Program, or make derivative works based on what is contained in the Licensed Program. (However, it is not included in this restriction that you create derivative works based on the data file(s).) Korg furthermore disclaims all responsibilities for direct, derivative, collateral or consequential damages caused by the use of or the inability of using the Third Party Software (including but not limited to damage of data, lost commercial profit, interruption of work, lost commercial information), regardless of the degree of damages, and even if Korg was aware of the possibility of such damages in advance. The incredibly useful Motion Sequence function records your knob movements to create time-varying change in the sound; great for live performance dynamics.

Structure: VCF (no input MS-20 Rev1 filter as resonator), Pulse Generator, VCA, analogue DRIVE, analogue TONE In the event that there is any physical defect in the disk (storage device, etc.) on which the Licensed Program is supplied, Korg will exchange the defective disk with a non-defective disk of the same model at no charge, provided that you have notified Korg of the existence of such defect within 28 days from the date you have received the disk, and provided that Korg shall never be held liable to replace the disk or data in the event that the defect is attributed to accident, abuse, misuse or other such causes outside of Korg’s control. As well activating rolls, octave shifts and sustain, you can switch into Touch FX mode and use them interactively. Touch FX takes all the printed functions — roll, octave shift, sustain and the motion sequence controls — and applies them in a non-destructive way for as long as you touch a key or keys. With practice, you can apply a roll, shift pitch by an octave and disable slides and accents all at once, assuming your fingers stretch to all the desired keys. Using Touch FX was one of the occasions when I felt the smooth ribbon keyboard wasn’t quite so performance-friendly as a series of buttons would have been, but it’s still fun. The Touch FX don’t appear to be quantised, though, and with my usual clumsiness I managed to set off rolls that didn’t always sound right, especially if I hit a triplet by mistake. I noticed that when notes are being received from the MIDI input, activating Touch FX disables their reception, so it appears to be a function tied to the internal sequencer. Regardless of this minor limitation, Touch FX offers fresh ways to mute notes, fast-repeat them, mask the effect of accent and so on. MIDI & Sync

The compact Volca range gains a digital beat machine

The core difference between these two categories is that the Volca Beats features a mix of digital voices and analog. They also come with additional parameters that help you edit and tweak the sequencers. Korg reserves the right to make modifications to the Licensed Program and to the support services set out in clause 7 of this agreement (referred to in this agreement as “the Services”) without prior notification to you.

Sequence effects include the roll function that plays a sound repeatedly, the octave function that raises the pitch by one or two octaves, and the sustain function that immediately maximizes the amp decay. These are great ways to create punchy and powerful breaks. The Volca Drum produces the most original and authentic sound quality with the digital drum machine sound engine. Combining the effects and multi-layered resonators, gives you a satisfying user experience. Sequence effects include the roll function that plays a sound repeatedly, the octave function that raises the pitch by one or two octaves, and the sustain function that immediately maximises the amp decay. These are great ways to create punchy and powerful breaks. In the event that Korg offers an updated or upgraded version of the Licensed Program to you at any time, Korg’s obligation (and that of its distributors and dealers) to support previous versions of the Licensed Program shall cease 28 days following such updated or upgraded version being made available to you.

Korg strips things back

Nothing in this agreement shall affect the statutory rights of any person dealing with Korg as a consumer. The core of the Volca Drum’s character, however, comes from its ‘Wave Guide’ resonator. This is set up as a global send effect, allow each layer to be sent to it by an independently controllable amount. The Wave Guide itself has three controls: Tune, for the pitch of the effect, Decay, controlling its length, and Body, which alters the timbral characteristics. There are two varieties of resonator available too, switchable between Tube and String styles. The results that can be achieved using this resonator sound fantastic, ranging from odd faux-reverb effects to pitched tonal stabs and spiralling, modulated decays. Korg shall not be obliged to provide support services for any Third Party Software supplied (whether relating to operating methods, defects, or otherwise). The Volca Samples allow users to program and edit the beats, using up to one hundred sounds. This feature is very ideal for live performers, who can program and sequence in a short time. What Is The Difference Between Volca Beats And Drums? You hereby agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the aforementioned territory, without regards to conflicts of law provisions.

You can create and manipulate a huge range of sounds using the onboard simple yet extremely effective parameters.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,

Korg may on occasions supply software programs, data files and/or documentation belonging to a third party or parties (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Third Party Software”). When the pitch knob is turned all the way to the left, the resonant waveform can be played chromatically. To best exploit this capability, the 16 step keys are laid out like a keyboard, its range just over an octave (A-C). It’s a pleasant experience to play bass lines, melodic patterns and so on from a machine that delights in trashing preconceptions almost as much as it enjoys exercising your sub. With 16 onboard patterns, each storing sound parameters and motion recordings, the sequencer is as instantly appealing as any Volca. The extra performance features turn this model into a credible stand-alone instrument, but even as a MIDI module, it could earn its keep. A built-in loop sequencer with up to 16 steps allows you to record your performance on the keyboard as you play with the ability to store up to sixteen sequence patterns on the internal memory. However, the device offers numerous cool features like chromatic sound sequencing. If you need more comparisons, consider watching the video below.

All references to the Licensed Program shall mean the object code only of the program(s) comprising the Licensed Program. A Volca sample features an easy swing and can load more samples. Its powerful workflow and ease of sampling make the Volca sample better than drum machines in some situations. The term "digital" typically brings to mind sounds that are based on PCM-sampled bass drum, snare drum, or cymbal, but the volca drum creates its drum sounds by DSP-powered analog modeling. Oscillator waveforms such as sine wave, sawtooth wave, and noise are provided. By applying various changes to these waveforms, you can create a wide variety of percussion sounds that range from realistic to idiosyncratic, and are not limited only to drums.
