If supplied in conjunction with any Korg instrument or equipment, such Third Party Software shall only relate to the non-essential functions of such instrument or equipment.

While the Volca Bass features three oscillators, the Nubass has only one oscillator. The Volca Bass also forms independent waves and pitch, and the Nubass has a sub-oscillator with a vacuum tube and a saturation drive. In this Volca, Step Mode is more about muting and unmuting steps with notes already present, but the other variant, Step Recording, is present too. It's made initially more adventurous by that inverted keyboard but you soon adapt. Notes are entered one by one, shifting the keyboard (over a range of six octaves) with the Octave knob as you go. Although ostensibly a bass synth, there's no reason to ignore the upper reaches and there are no limits imposed. Volca Keys I got into hardware (and analog) synthesisers recently and after some weeks of research and following recommendations from expert friends, I bought the Volca Bass as my first instrument.The small four-character display is helpful for indicating the current mode and for dialling in a specific tempo. The Mute button is equally obvious, it temporarily turns each step key into an instrument mute. With a smooth finger-slide across the ribbon, you can mute a range of voices with flourish. For added performance consistency, mutes are maintained across pattern changes and it transpires that Func + Mute engages the Solo function, a detail omitted from the brief owner's manual. Powerful analog bass sound creation and an Electribe-inspired sequencer for the ultimate bass lines

Please be aware that this service may be modified or terminated at any time by the Company without specific notice. It started from the dissatisfaction with the rhythm machine as Osnani believed he could build a better one with Kato on his side. Contents of owner’s manuals and content as found on korg.com may differ. Information on korg.com may be updated as necessary based on changes to the product specification, operating system, included contents, and so on. Additionally, owner’s manuals may be updated to reflect these and other changes with updated production of the product. It is perhaps telling that, for a time, initially they could be a little hard to obtain (at sensible prices at least) due to the high demand. Aggressive sounds that stand up to the drums; fat sounds that support the rhythm; funky sounds that generate a groove - the volca Bass is an analog groove box that has what you need for a wide range of bass lines.This warranty shall however only apply to the latest version of the Licensed Program (provided that Korg has reasonably made such version available to you) and shall not apply to any previous version or versions of the Licensed Program. And so, Keio’s first product, Korg mini Korg, was released in 1973. In the 1970’s decade, the Keio Company synthesizer line mainly revolved around the large, pricey patchable instruments, such as the PS series. a) to Korg at its own expense using all reasonable endeavours to rectify any non-conformance with the warranty by repair (by way of a patch, work around, correction or otherwise) within a reasonable period of time or, As with the Beats, it's a choice of real- or step-time recording and to get started, the fastest way to wipe the current pattern is the common Func + Step 16 action. Device-specific clear operations are also offered; here they can erase the melody part for the selected oscillator or eliminate slides between notes. The real-time method of recording captures slides across the keyboard as they're played, so there's also a Slide Edit function to adjust or remove them later (in the unlikely event those 303-like whoops start to wear thin). Once again, there's no accent function and, unlike the others, there's no motion recording either. This either encourages or demands interaction, depending on your point of view.

Korg created quite a stir at Musikmesse 2013 when it announced the Volca range, comprising Volca Bass, Volca Beats and Volca Keys, without seemingly no prior leak or tease of information. In varying parts they caused a stir due to being analogue; cheap; compact, portable and battery powered; analogue from one of the “big three” Japanese manufacturers; controllable by MIDI (unlike the Korg Monotrons); and borrowing visual cues from other manufacturers. Nothing in this agreement shall affect the statutory rights of any person dealing with Korg as a consumer. You no longer have to deal with poor sound quality or beats that are too high, too low, or too high-pitched. The two analog bass machines that we are about to discuss have you covered and will not disappoint.

Many have heard of the Roland TB-303, Korg MS-20, and TR-808. However, the Volca Bass has broken all records since its release. Volca Bass was designed in Japan and assembled in Vietnam with a whole analog signal pathway. All you need is to exactly note down the features and qualities you are looking for in your analog bass machine, and you are all set.

Korg's single-handed analogue revival continues unabated with the release of the Volca range of super-affordable grooveboxes. There's also a little speaker integrated, and it can run with batteries. But I personally, find these features useless.If further evidence were needed this isn't just another stroll down Roland Bass Line Boulevard, the Volca Bass has three VCOs, each capable of sawtooth or square waveforms. A trio of mini pitch controls provide subtle detuning between the oscillators at the mid-point of their travel. They then extend in semitones to as far as an octave either way at maximum rotation. It's an imaginative use of a single control, the display telling you the precise interval selected. Although there is no mixer for the oscillators, they can be selectively muted. Oscillators sound really nice, as well as the filter, which turns into a beast with a lot of resonance. Without running it through any external devices, you can get an overdrive, which is a nice little bonus.
