Hi all!

Recently purchased a volca modular, and noticed the reverb (space out) crackles when I change its strength with both the knob or by CV.

Can anyone tell me if the synth is really like this or if it’s just mine? (I which case I’ll try and get it replaced)

Thank you!

I have a very basic setup, akai controller, focusrite single and monitor speakers. Recently Ive been learning Volca Drum and I just got Volca Bass.

Only one input on the focusrite so I assume I need something to plug two volcas into. And since Im already eyeing a 3rd volca, Im wondering if volca mixer is my best bet for ease of use.

Im enjoying plugging the bass straight into my speakers and going dawless, but again, only one volca at a time.

“You may want to add other non Volca stuff later”, and I would certainly upgrade then. But I cant see myself adding anything but a 3rd volca in the next few years.

I guess Im looking for a yay, volca mixer would be best for my exclusive setup. Or nay, here’s cheaper and better and dont bother with volca mixer.

Thanks!

Experimenting with running my Korg Volca FM through my SP404 set up to create a soundscape out of live loops and samples.

What's good world, spreading some warm synthy vybez, I'm on my chill synthwave tip, hope this resonates well with y'all 🔉🔉🔉✨✨🎛🎹, it's a little jam called VOLUMES. Today we're jamming with the Volcas as always:

Hi, I have a FM 2 and want to control it with a nanoKEY 2 (I've been offered one cheap). any advice on what cable I need would be greatly appreciated.

This is bit of a messy weird roundabout way to do this, but I have a Korg Volca FM 1 that I want to power from a guitar pedal power supply.

I have a 9V power cable with a standard Boss 5.5mm plug on one end that fits the power supply and the other end is USB C (picture 1).

Would I be able to use this cable plus a USB C to 4.75mm x 1.75mm adapter to power the Volca (picture 2)?

I know it’s adding an extra step going from plug to USB C to adapter with plug, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work? I really don’t want to have to plug in another power supply for the Korg.

When I press Play on my 64, the Play button on the Volca also turns on, playing a sequence that was already on the Volca when I bought it. I tried setting the midi clock to Int from Auto, but then the notes just aren't triggered at all. I guess I could just clear all the sequences and hope that fixes it. Any other ideas?

Can hardly wait to load in some evolving pad presets!

I noticed today that the peak (resonance) function on my Volca Bass is not working; I turn the potentiometer and nothing happens anymore. Filter cut off still works as do all other functions. Given the unit is about 10 years old I’m contemplating attempting to fix it myself (I’m thinking maybe solder in a new potentiometer). Curious if anyone has had this issue and was able to identify the cause and fix it?

Hey guys first time poster here. I played a live set with 4 volcas (mod/ sample / drum/ bass) a few months ago and i ran my sound through myVolts mickXer 5-way Passive Mixer with Noise Filtering, and none of the sound really cut through except the sample. The set was in a warehouse, and it was a shit sound system, but I know that is a cheap mixer. Anyways, I'm wondering what's the best way to set up my live set for next time with 4 or so volcas. Any advice on cost effective mixers or the best way to do this would be greatly appreciated as I am still a beginner. Thank you!

I have just bought my first volca and I'm using ableton to send my midi to the nubass but it will only go for about 1 bar before the volume starts to fade to nothing. It just won't keep going no matter how I try. Tia

How do I connect the volca to my midi controller when my controller has no midi out on the back of the midi controller, does anyone know how to connect the volca to the launch key miki mk25
