Try this. Start with a blank sequence (func+all). Select a mono mode, doesn't matter what. Crank up the sustain to max. Press rec to arm the sequencer, press a note (the recording will start), and keep the note for at least 2 complete cycles. At this point you can turn the sequencer off (not only the rec state, I mean switch off the whole sequencer by turning off the play state), the drone will keep up whit absolutely no retrigger! Switch to a poly mode and play along your drone. At least in my vk it works, without any cable or external device. I have the firmware update installed, but this worked even before, If I remember correctly. Try it and please tell me if this hack works in your vk's, or I have a strange one. Kisses from Italy 💋
Thanks to you for your solution that actually works. Volca keys is a wonderful piece of gear, I have 3 other synthesizers but vk is really my best friend ❤
For me, subtitles would be better than speech (especially artificial speech). But in any case, the technical idea of how to create a continuous drone on the Volca is clever and neat. :)
There is no need for this hack. Just record a note for 1-15 steps by holding it (with sustain 100%) Go to active steps and disarm the steps without a note. It has the advantage that voicemodulation (poly, unison etc.) still works. With your hack voicemodulation doesn't work because of the "freeze".😊
Hi, thank you for sharing this other hack! Actually this is the already the 2nd different method that somebody suggests me. I already made a new video that I'll post soon. Definitely making this video helped to gather many different approaches. I'll check this one too, and maybe make another video!
Worked like a charm. Mucb appreciated i.can run this into a 4 channel PA and use the additional layers to bring in an Arturia Minifreak and a Roland Axe Edge Keytaur etc. Very cyber!
I understand. The sequencer re triggers the note every time, but with the right setting of attack and release (maybe a bit of delay too) it can be masked. With the method on the video you can be sure that it will hold still whatever setting you use. Have a great music making!
Now this is stunning😮 Could I upload something using this method and I'd like to link your video in the description only if it works for you! Let me know and thanks for sharing! Subscribed
This is super useful, thank you so much! I'm going to make a drone video with your method and of course give credit to your channel and a link to your video.

Sounds like another great hack, I'll test for sure. Maybe you could make a video about it! ciao e grazie

@@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic ah I forgot... subscribed, of course!
@@dianamiino7391 Ho provato il tuo metodo... funziona!!! Grazie mille! Posso fare un video anche su questo metodo, citando elinkando te ovviamente?
@@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic ma certo che puoi, sono onorata di questo, ti ringrazio molto ❤️
excellent tip!
Great video. Would never have thought about doing that. Thanks.
Awesome! Thank you very much. Yeah, more tips in ambient and volcas would be very welcome
Just uploaded a new tutorial!
Oh dear, I'm not a fan of the speech-to-text. Seemed like a good video, but I can't finish it.
I feel you. I'm not native English speaker and I felt not ready to put my own voice with my heavy accent into this video. Sorry for the inconvenience!
@@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic That's understandable. I hope you feel more confident in the future!

@@goulo thank you. btw I uploaded subtitles. if you hit the subtitles button they'll work just fine. 😉
@@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic I'm okay with it, it's not the most pleasant to listen to but it gets your point across very clearly.
does it work for volca bass as well?
I don't own one so I can't answer you but I suppose it's worth a try. My guess is yes because they are very similar
Hi, a big hello from a Portuguse guy in Brazil I do like this kind of Music and I want more tutorials, please. Thanks.
Yes I'm going to focus mainly on tutorials, tips and tricks
mind blown
Enjoy!
awesome. but is this your voice or an ai voice
Definitely mine with heavy Italian accent
@@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic allora
Creo que li volca bass se esta transformando en drone. Se bloquea y queda sonando una nota.el secuenciador obsoleto, las perillas analogicas andan
Grazie per il video e la spiegazione. Perché non parli tu stesso? Il tuo accento italiano in inglese è così sexy🥰
Prego. Ho usato la voce artificiale solo in questo video, in tutti quelli successivi parlo io stesso.

Thanks, great tip
You're welcome
great tip...thanks
Great to know. Thank you! However when I tried to record one note I found there is no pause, even I did not input the sync cable...
I understand. The sequencer re triggers the note every time, but with the right setting of attack and release (maybe a bit of delay too) it can be masked. With the method on the video you can be sure that it will hold still whatever setting you use. Have a great music making!
Haha! What a weird trick! I would never have guessed. Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome!
Amazing tip and concept for making drone sound🔥🙌
Now this is stunning😮

Lucky discovery 🍀😺
Thanks for the tip!
Спасибо, дружище! Не знал, что так можно!
What text to speech program / website did you use?
Ttsmaker.com, it's free
"the possibilities are endless"
synth: bbbbrbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
🤷🏻
So you just put a jack as a dummy connection, damn
Simple as that. There's another technique without any cable btw. I'll make another video soon

That's very smart thanks for the tip
