Volca FM2 and Volca Bass - Deep Space

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ส.ค. 2024
- Been trying to work backwards and minimize my setup. Love the limitations of the volcas with the sequencers and memory banks. When i use an external sequencer I don’t have as much fun at this point. Still coming at these jams from a verse/chorus structure background. Trying to forget all of that and let these jams breath, sometimes I feel like they go on too long. Also love to let myself go and just let the progression run and run and run.
Sample2 is setting tempo, into the FM2, into the Bass. All are running through a Yamaha mixer, with Strymon BigSky reverb on the bass.

A GR8 success!!! Less options = More creativity. I have been taking the same route in 2023 and couldn't be happier to fit my whole setup in a guitar case.
The volca sample and bass are my two main workhorses.. I love those Baby's!
The Bass has so much potential. I always bring it into a song, but really need to sit down with it and just do a few solo jams.
@@floydyork my main way of using it is putting it in the three oscillator sequence a piece mode where I can make a individual 16-step sequence for each of the three oscillators and then during the song manually bring in and out the oscillators with the mute I've actually just recently been sort of experimenting with using the step edit function and trying to edit out some steps of each sequence to give it a polyrhythm Time
I'm trying Keys, fm2 and sample2 right now. This was inspiring 😊
Fantastic. Kinda the same here.. I'm late in the game of Volcas, receiving a Sample2 at Christmas time last year, and been having so much fun with them that I've already accumulated an FM2, Kick, Drums, Keys, and a TS-1 lol. I still have a few vintage synths that I love and mess around with, but these are just a lot of fun and I find myself getting pretty lost in the moment, much to my wife's dismay lol. Looking forward to hearing more.
Appreciate the listen. What is your workflow at this point? How do you sequence everything? Im steadily shocked at how many configurations one can have with just a few pieces of equipment.
@@floydyork Ditto
Honestly I've noticed with both the Volcas and the Pocket Operators it seems starting later is better.
The folks who were there on day one got all 4 Volcas (and however many POs, 6?) but felt their limitations keenly. They were then constantly waiting for a new one to fill their own particular gap, after starting on a basically standard base.
Starting later gives you a wider pool to pick from, so you can pick the ones best suited to your needs. And also work to minimise any gaps therein, maybe not even getting all the originals at all. (For instance someone might decide an FM(2) eliminates their personal need for Keys, though you've got both.)
@floydyork sorry for my super delayed response! My setup is similar, only thing I've added in the last few months is an Arturia Keystep 32. I thought it would help with playing keys a little better, plus the added funtion of using the sequencer. The Keystep Pro would probably be a better option, but I picked up the Keystep 32 used locally for a great price. I'm still learning and fiddling with it all so I'm certainly no expert. But I'm having a lot of fun!
It’s never too late
We need more of this volca jams you make!!!!!
Appreciate the love, I’ll keep posting!
Great stuff. Volcas are amazing in capable hands.
I haven't been using my sequencer, because my CPU is busted, it is cool to go back to actually playing notes
Finding the sweet spot is awesome isn't it?!
What a great session and set up buddy..
Subscribed for more 👊
really nice, I'm imagining a nice lead synth or acoustic instrument on top..
The sounds are so powerful! Just purchased a fm 2 to run with my sample
The volca bass never disappoints! Great track that shows that you don't need a 10k$ setup to have fun and make music on hardware. Cheers!
Couldn’t agree more. Keep thinking once I have the cash to upgrade some items, but really enjoy just working with what you got!
You need atleast a Grand though but atleast that is good for us and we're happy
@@teatime2595 definitely sold some guitars to get where I am today. Can’t bring myself to sell anymore, I’ll be staying right here for a bit!
This is frikken wonderful - it's everything anyone could want in a volca jam.
Just listened to some of your stuff, love the ambient tape loops
Awww you’re too darn nice. Looking forward to more wonderful volca stuff from you!
Rather enjoyed seeing someone “play” a volca like that at the beginning. It gave the sequences a LOT more power when they came in.
A lot of happy accidents too.
Thanks! Appreciate the feed back!
je suis fan de musique electronique depuis que je suis gamin quand jean-michel jarre a sorti son premier titre oxygène
Really pleasant to listen to. Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate it! Thank you for listening!
Very excited me,very nice music
Bloody gorgeous.
I've made some pretty spooky ambient noise tracks, using the Volca Bass with a distortion pedal, and a delay/reverb pedal. Fun machines.
I’ve never considered the distortion idea! Have an old Boss distortion pedal and I might need to do that. When I put reverb on the volca bass it sounds so dreamy and completely transforms the sound
@@floydyork Pedals are fun! I started learning how to make my own music, my go to genre being industrial or Dark Ambient music. Since last February. Boy...it has been a fun journey.
Sweet arrangement and playing on the Bass 🌿
Very nice movement. ❤
Excellent progression and variation well done. one thing, and not saying I know more than you for sure, but my DJ ears would love to see your new sounds introduced at lower volumes and brought from the background forward. That would take it over the top! again excellent!!! would love to buy your tracks.
Unfortunately you can't automate volume on the volcas
Really amazing!
your session is so peaceful, i love it
Such a good compliment. This was just a casual jam and I never would have imagined that it would get the traction that it has
@@floydyork this is the feeling I get from listening to your composition, I just feel calm and happy after this video. I just got my first korg volca key i am stocked to test it out, continue you do such good videos (sorry for my English I come from belgium)
Cool stuff, nice jam!
Perfect for cycling at around 5am :D
I love this. Spent many years on my bike, just pushing around town or doing a little distance riding. Have fond memories of cold gray days, just getting lost in my own head while riding
Love it! ❤
very nice!
Loving this
Vraiment sympa
Very sweet ❤
cool
OMG❤
very musical
tan bonito
Nice❤
Is the dinosaur necessary for this setup?
Hi, awesome track, just a dream... I have a question regarding the Volca FM around minute 5:57, I noticed it's playing in sequence but it seems to me that you have a different sequence after the first... and goes on in loop, 1st sequence then 2nd and 1 again... how do you do that? I didn't know it was possible on the FM.
around 5:05 he turns the arp off and loads a sequence
I want Oreos now.
🤖🏵️
Yes, sometimes less is more...ish. 😉
Hey there man, that's a super cool jam right there. Which sequencer are you using to take care of the chord progression in section B?
Hey there! The second sequence was saved in the Volca FM.
@@floydyork Ooh! So it does save sequences? Is the Volca FM unique in that ability?
@@baptistic I can speak for the keys, bass, and FM2, and all of them will save at least 8 sequences. To access each, you just press the memory button, and the key the sequence is played on, and it loads up. A very cool feature.
@@floydyork Thank you very much!
los tres sintetizadores salen los sonidos al mismo tiempo a un parlante o bocina?
No, all three are running into a mixer. From the mixer I can listen with headphones, or run to speakers. I can also send the audio directly from the mixer to the camera.
amazing sound. the intro remind me of PPP by Beach House. very cool sound. love it. the old volca fm can do this sound ?
I'd imagine yes, although it will sound a bit more cut off as it only has a three note polyphony vs a 6 note polyphony
is this the stock bank of samples on the Volca Sample?
I don’t remember if I used the stock samples on this track. If it wasn’t the stock sample, it was one of the classic drum machine samples that is offered on reverb.com.
What is your power supply?
can I sample this?
@@davebb1212 yeah please have fun!
@@floydyork thank you! do you remember the bpm?
@@davebb1212I don’t! Thought maybe it would pop up on the display at some point, but I don’t think it does. Maybe the volca sample will show it?
@@davebb1212at about the 6:00 the drums come in and it switches from a 3/4 to 4/4 beat, might be able to tap out tempo from these drums
@@floydyork thank you!
