yes! amazing - spent an hour or two noodling on the sofa...bonus weirdness: if you use this method and slowly play three notes in poly mode, there's a lil' gap in some of the notes after 16 steps...but if you then turn up the portamento, two of the notes will slide to the other's pitch at those points - very nice!
WoW, I have had my Volca Keys and a few others since they first came out which was 10 years ago but it's only since two days ago that I really learned how to start using it properly 😰 and then I see your video and I tried it too and BINGO !! 🤩 what a result, the drone is great, I love this Volca keys now, it helps of course that I'm also running an effects pedal through it which is a Zoom MS-70CDR which I highly recommend as its got 137 different effects and which can be layered to play several sounds at the same time.....cool !! 😎and now with decect speakers too instead of headphones, what a difference 🥰 Now I have just subscribed to your channel and given you a thumbs up too 👍 Thank you Glen 😃
An other easy trick to keep it droning is to simple place a small coin on one key. You can change the tuning of the drone by sliding the coin but you can't add notes in an other register... advantges and disadvantages.
@@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic the delay is digital, it is done with MCU and the output is 20khz pwm signal, this is why you will see a 20khz peak at the spectrum
@@SkinnyVampiress Thank you for the detailed info! I always noticed that 20khz peak indeed. Now I understand why. Btw I've been a subscriber of your channel since long. I hope you are doing ok.
@@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic interesting! I am more or less ok.. By the way, I modified my volca keys, added the signal out before the delay. It is cleaner, no 20khz peak there :) It is also possible to add a better filter to the MCU output, but the components are so small - not really DIY friendly... p.s. if you want to try an interesting trick - connect the audio output to the sync in :) It will trigger at random, creating some chaotic patterns... But it won't work with direct connection, you need to amplify the signal a little to get it closer to the 5v trigger input. Guitar pedal or something like that should be enough to amplify the signal....
@@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic No no no no... omg no my Friend. I just thought I know a lot about this thing ... but no, I didnt. You totally surprised me ....

Thanks for sharing your experience! I'll try that too
Nice one - even better than the cable tweak! 🙏🏻
Very cool trick, thank you for making me turn on my Keys once again.
I'm happy for that! Have fun
Very cool, thank you for sharing this. Love seeing people get the most out of these synths
Whoa. Gotta try this, it sounds fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad you found it useful
Very nice tutorial!
Very nice. Dronetastic! 🤖
😉
Cool, les volcas sont géniaux.
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video, thank you!
Quick question: What is the metal piece coming out the back of the Volca?
It's a midi thru port that I added myself
@@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic Cool!
cool feature, thank you!
Thank u.. that was wicked..

Hi Glen, I'm really happy for your newfound inspiration! Thank you for your support! Cheers
Excellent ! Thanks Youuu for this tutorial ! (I subscribe immediately !)
I appreciate, thanks
incredible video-work,)

Nice and easy! I also tried that, but I forgot about it. Thanks for sharing.
Bravo!! 🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great technique. Is the Volca keys analogue?
It has digital delay, but the rest is analogue, afaik.
I think the delay is analog too

That's nice
That works!
Yeah!
MASSIVE
It’s a hidden hold feature or a bug 😋
Looks more like a useful bug 😆
Do you know how to conéctate the vocal bass into reason 11 and that could be synced with reason when I stop reason.
Yes it's possible. You need a usb to midi interface for your pc. And then you can control the volca via midi
V cool
Ciao sul mio purtroppo non funziona. Dipende mica dalla versione FW? Non ho fatto l'update. Grazie mille.
Mmm. Io non ho mai aggiornato nulla dal 2013 😆
Sei sicuro di aver fatto tutto il procedimento allo stesso modo?
C'è un altro trucco che puoi provare, se guardi tra i miei video più vecchi
✨🎶🪐🎹🪐🎶✨
This is a bug !
Yep, but convenient!
WTF?
Is there a problem?
@@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic No no no no... omg no my Friend. I just thought I know a lot about this thing ... but no, I didnt. You totally surprised me ....
It is my pleasure to help. I've been following your channel since quite long, I'm really happy that i have something useful to share.
