- In this video, Luke walks us through the Korg Volca Drum.
Based on a simple trigger waveform, wave folder and overdrive are used to add overtones and distortion, and then a waveguide resonator effect brings the sound to life. The six-part DSP synth engine was designed with a completely different philosophy than conventional drum machines, and generates a wide range of unexpectedly different sounds. And of course, you can play those sounds from the volca-style sequencer.

I enjoy this guy's videos, he explains how to use the functions of various equipment so well. Watching these has helped me with so many of my Korg devices. Well done for taking the time to prepare such useful information for each video, for me it's added a huge amount of value to my devices. Thanks.
I just got mine this week and it's incredible. You can make really nice sounds with melodies as well as drums ( I've already made some really nice house stuff on it) but then you can turn around and make the gnarliest metallic sounds that you've ever heard. Whenever I sit down with it, no matter what I end up making, it's super fun to use.
Is the alesis sr16 drum machine better?
@@marcoagius6926 I'll answer if you answer this - are potatoes better than clouds?
@@Claidheambmor 😁🤣
Can I make semi realistic drums? I d need some light drum machine forblive guitar looping
@@marcusstrymon693 not really what it's for
just got the volca FM would love this as a complement to make some sick death industrial.
Death industrial... thats fucking beast.
Is the death industrial done yet?
Volca fm is a beast. Get the sample too.
Get the sample load sample on it
Dear Korg. I am requesting the following very simple firmware update for the KV Drum to vastly simplify accessibility/usability. At present, the source/modulator/EG options are on an endless loop so using the notched parameter knob simply keeps endlessly cycling through options. Would it be possible to put them in a fixed list so that when one dials the notched Parameter knob to the left, it returns to a fixed top of said list (or the bottom of the list if rotated to the right)?
Yes this would make me buy Volca drum
My left ear liked this kick
yer headphones are backwards mate
My right eye liked to see your comment😁👌
@@A_163. xD
Thank you. I thought I was having a stroke
@@wawztzta8296 LOL mine are too
Can you change Time Signatures, or are you stuck with 16th Note 4/4?
Did you find the answer to this? I saw somewhere there was a round about way of doing it with the mute function 🤷♂️
Uno de mis volca favoritos,,, Drum& kick .. me encanta urgar e ir descubriendo sonidos variantes, combinaciones de patrones al momento…
always turn of autofocus
thanks for the demo
This is a wonderful drum synth but it’s be better if voices could be triggered by individual midi notes and not be locked to pattern sequence. Korg should make a ‘deluxe’ version that does so because it’s such a nice engine. Though you can get good variation editing in real time . Correct me if I’m wrong.
Hi, I'm thinking of buying either the beat or this one, which one would you suggest? Consider that I have no experience at all with drum machines, programming patterns etc. so it would be my very first machine of this kind and my priority is to get something easy to learn yet usable (not a "toy")
Thanks
TheStarshipBand the beats would be good to learn on because it got its stock sounds. The drum might be too advanced for you to start with but it is way more flexible in terms of the sound shaping. Beats drum sounds are static besides tuning and decay
@@skatarist101 I definitely agree. The beats is a lot more user friendly and way easier to get sounds that actually sound like drums.
is the swing output also transferred to the sync out ?
Why is there no backup option on the Volca Drum @Korg ???
Is it possible to install this in a DAW like FL Studio and producing music?
Is this worth upgrading from po33ko? Or should I go for electribe 2?
I've tried the record button...but it is not "turning off" while tweeking a sound...why? It's lit until I press it again...
Is the volca drum stereo or mono? Can you pan individual tracks or is it summed up?
You can record your samples muting everything else or soloing the one u want
It is stereo, you can pan from the same menu that has the drive/wavefold/distortion levels.
Köszönöm a videót
Thank you for the video! :)
Hi! Is this volca mono or estéreo? Or does it have any effects that make it estéreo or something like that?
I answer this, it's stereo, sounds can be panned.
Can you make Eastern/Indian percussion sounds with this machine? Thanks 😏😏😏
yeah I've been playing w that and I got mean tabla sounds
Definitely!
I'm looking for some hardware that creates hard industrial percussion. Which one should I consider?
I would suggest a Moog DFAM.
Circuit rhythm
Is the send engine per part, or 1 global effect?
1 global
@@essmunson if you hold down on the part button and then adjust the send engine it will just edit for that specific part.
is there a way to play on rithms souch as 3/4, 7/8 or 5/4? how would it work?
thanks for the video
You have to do something in your head, there is no predefined odd meter.
16 step = 5*(3/4)=15/4 and deactivate the last - same with 5/4
Or 2*(7/8) , deactivate 2.
Works with my Volca sample v1 and I used the manual of Volca drum from online, so it will work the same way.
As of now I can’t say how synchronization with other devices works if you set then to the same meter. My Volca drum will arrive in a week.
@@hermask815 so yo can deactivate 1 o 2 Beats so It jumps to the first Beat again?
@@chefchowenGZ while this video says yes
th-cam.com/video/QOE0ztBH3BY/w-d-xo.html
I myself am not so sure about it anymore.
I made 2 parts 15 steps long and they seemed ok. But when I placed a note on the 16th step in a 3rd part it was played. Perhaps it only works if all parts are deactivated. Or the 16th part is counted but silent?
I have to check again.
@@hermask815 i see he make's It, doesnt explain how but he make's a 5/4 patern, thanks a lot!
This is the Marmite of the volca series.
People will either loathe it, or utterly adore it.
Personally, I'm of the later opinion.

Hi can you please tell me if you have a mistake and you want to delete gast the instrument that you had mistake, how do you delete it thanks
Is it possible to change the pitch of the notes via midi and play it like a regular synth?
Anyone know?
Second this. Any answers yet?
It has a midi in port, so you can trigger sound via midi. The different keys on the device can be triggered via a midi keyboard. When you say "pitch" I assume you're referring to the different pitch of different keys, and/or the pitch bend. In regard to pitch bend, I don't know if pitch bend data is monitored by this device.
Not chromatically, no.
can u do 3/4 or 6/8 music on it ?
Does it only do a single bar, or is it capable of doing more than that?
You can chain patterns to play longer variations etc.
@@ex-zen i've heard people say this about all volcas but i never ended up trying it. time to google...
@@omeyegod In my KV-arsenal the FM, Kick, Modular and Drum does patternchaining. So those I can confirm. I don't own the KVSample but I'm quite sure it has a songmode.
I use Electribe Sampler 2 for longer sequences and the patternchaining on ES2 and send MIDI to the rest of my volcas and other synths via midisplitter, if that is what you might need a solution for. Just hook them up to any multitrack-sequencer, set MIDI-channels and go.
@@ex-zen song mode on the sample locks all the parameters.. fyi
Can you use more than 6 sounds in a sequence?
I'm thinking you can probably automate certain parameters to do a sort of "sample swap-esque" effect.
When will we be getting MIDI implementation information?
It's up on their site now, there seems to be a single and multi channel implementation, but the doc doesn't detail how to trigger different parts with single channel (and I don't yet own one to experiment with)
5:46 "You can solo..." Doesn't solo; saves kit.
the opposite of solo is mute..
yeah he said YOU can solo, he works for the shop
yeah I just caught that! ain't no solo as far as I can tell
What's the main difference between this and the beats version?
This one is digital, and beats is analog
What’s better
@@jimst4560 this one
@@alexlewis5470 why?serious question.
Kimera Queen seems to have a lot more versatility than the beats from what i’ve seen
automation recording capability, beautiful ;)
hi. can i make live intros for techno sets at gigs? should i buy this product or volca bass?
Volca bass owner here, I'd say that the volca bass and volca drums are very different beasts in terms of what they are used for. Go for the drums if you want drums or go for the volca bass if you want to make basslines and melodies.
Does it have CV?
Volca drum or beats better For hip hop ?
Does it have a built in speaker?
i bought it yesterday it has it but it cuts of relatively high so you will not hear the low ends. But i really like it, intuitive, the approach to sounddesign is a bit different than im used to and thats awesome
Can someone tell me if I got this what else I would need to start making hip hop beats?
Well when you say hip hop beats I don’t know exactly what you mean. There’s a ton of gear you could get to physically craft your sounds etc, or plug-ins for your daw to create melodies effects etc. there’s a ton of different ways to make music so what do you think would be your best workflow?
I'm having "DCDERR" problems updating the firmware on the Korg Volca Drum I purchased from #Absolute Music so here seems just as good as any place to send out a cry for help. I've downloaded the updater zip file from korg. I've connected the headphone out of my pc speakers to the sync-in of my Volca Drum via the sync cable that came with the KVD. I've pressed powerup+func+rec on my Volca Drum and get the "SYSUP" message on screen. I then play the Volca update data
file only for the Volca Drum display to say "DCDERR." What am I doing wrong? I've tried playing the file in Windows Media Player, Groove and Audacity and get the same error message. Similarly, I have tried playing the file at various volumes and still get "DCDERR." Any ideas? Why couldn't Korg simply fit their Volcas with 21st century connectivity?
Try adjusting your output volume. Turn off any eq or sound enhancement your sound card may have built in. There’s a bit of info out there on volca error messages that should get you past the update. 😁
1:02 that kick wobbles like a jelly
It is just synth drum?
Can you change the time stamp?
can you sync this with a microkorg?
via midi yes
Great Intro!
thank *YOU*
Clever video
THANKS
Oh a Volca with a useable snare????!!!
slightly better than the volca beats it seems
I have the Beats but I'll be buying the Drum. It sounds quite different.
Looks great but 2 points of critique I have: the pitch can not be controlled by the keys but by a nob that you need to turn around. Quite difficult to get the right tone quickly. And I believe the basic sounds are mainly for futuristic electronic sounds. It lacks basic drum sounds. I mean can you simulate the intro of Gimme all your loving by ZZ top on it? I wonder if you can even simulate the beat of Fade to Grey or Kraftwerk but correct me if I am wrong.....
I think you're barking up the wrong tree if you're expecting a digital drum machine to emulate a physical drum kit 1:1
Does this mean Absolute Music shall be dispatching all Volca Drum preorders very soon? Now I know how Eric Cartman felt: th-cam.com/video/raTts-iGixU/w-d-xo.html Since I'm here...Does Absolute have any more info on the SP2400?
Why is it so hard to find a Volca Drum demo that doesn't make it sound like a toy. I want to be convinced that this won't be a waste of money but none of these demos are as convincing as, say, a Drumbrute demo. Too bad.
I bought a Volca drum not long ago and uploaded some videos of techno beats, check them out
Demo was a bit naff, sorry. Apparently it's a half-revolutionary piece of kit, but it's just a drum machine with some modulation. Huh.
prefer korg volca samples
DENICZ Just bought a Volca sample, why do you like it over the drum?
for fuxake
Low and down oldie granpa
PO 12 IS BETTER...
Hapatus but programming it is weird!

Stop advertising.
bruh
Couldn't watch because of stupid, repetitive long ads.
This reinforces my theory. the only volcas worth getting are the FM and modular. What a piece of poop!
Volca Kick is my favorite
@@epicon6 if the tuning would be more stable it would be perfect. still good though!
The most annoying drum machine I ever bought! Gtfo! So much trouble just to get a decent sound ... that doesn’t sound like bs
I really like it personally but I would say it doesn't do the same job as more traditional drum machines.
Well, it's not a drum machine, first off. It's a percussion synth.
Que porquería !!!! sirve como juguete unicamente... mi vieja Boss DR 550 le pasa el trapo.... Además suena a druma machine de verdad. La verdad no se quien puede gastar plata en esta basura.
I've just watched randomly different times at this video and all was "bla bla"
