Whether it's analog, PCM, or FM, the volca series puts unique sounds into an accessible platform. And now, the series is joined by a new rhythm machine that brings yet another sonic character. It's the volca drum digital percussion synthesizer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdding these distinctive sounds to your rhythms will revolutionarily transform your performances and productions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"header1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eA wide range of sound variation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"block type-q cv_black pad_b80\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"side-margin\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container_q\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image_type_q\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.korg.com\/us\/products\/upload\/7967aef6a953ee9845e293aae5cd378b_pc.png\" width=\"690\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text_type_q\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"header3\"\u003e \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"header2\"\u003eDigital percussion synth with a 6-part x 2-layer structure\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe term \"digital\" typically brings to mind sounds that are based on PCM-sampled bass drum, snare drum, or cymbal, but the volca drum creates its drum sounds by DSP-powered analog modeling. Oscillator waveforms such as sine wave, sawtooth wave, and noise are provided. By applying various changes to these waveforms, you can create a wide variety of percussion sounds that range from realistic to idiosyncratic, and are not limited only to drums.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe six parts each have two layers, and do not impose any rules or restrictions such as specifying which parts must be used for the bass drum or for the cymbal; all parts have the same specifications. You can freely assign your new sounds to these six parts without being limited by the conventions of a drum set. A kit consists of the six parts that you've assigned plus the waveguide resonator effect settings, and 16 such kits can be stored in memory (the factory settings contain 10 preload kits).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text_type_q\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"header3\"\u003e \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"header2\"\u003eDistinctive sound from a newly developed DSP engine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach part consists of two layers. For each layer, users choose one of five types of oscillator waveform including sine wave, sawtooth wave, and HPF noise, and also choose from three types of pitch modulator and amp EG, each optimized for drum sounds. Layer parameters can be edited either individually or simultaneously, and users can also use the two layers to produce the same sound for additional thickness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can customize the resulting trigger waveform by applying bit reduction to produce roughness, adjusting the wave folder depth to add complex overtones, and using overdrive to adjust the distortion. In this way, you can generate distinctive sounds from this sound engine that's structured rather differently from a typical drum machine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce you've specified the sound, you can adjust the balance of the parts by modifying the timing at which steps are heard, the pan, the gain before mixing, and the effect sends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text_type_q\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"header3\"\u003e \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"header2\"\u003eWaveguide resonator adds rich resonances\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe effect section features a waveguide resonator that's based on physical modeling, and which adds sympathetic resonances to the sound. You can choose from two types of waveguide: \"tube\" which adds the resonance of a cylindrical object such as a drum body or a long pipe, or \"strings\" which adds the metallic resonance of a string. The three knobs located in the center of the panel let you specify the DECAY (amount of attenuation), BODY (sonic character), and TUNE (pitch). Setting TUNE to a lower value will produce a delay-like behavior.

You can easily create patterns using the 16 buttons, each corresponding to one of the 16 steps. In addition to step recording, the sequencer also supports realtime recording in which you can construct a pattern while looping the playback. The pattern chain function lets you play multiple sequence patterns successively, so you can successively play back desired patterns of consecutive numbers. Up to 16 sequences can be connected to construct patterns with 256 steps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to simply playing a drum pattern, you can use the motion sequence function to memorize knob operations during realtime recording and reproduce them during playback; a total of 69 different parameters can be memorized.
