thanks so much :)

thanks so much! very kind words :) i really love the beats, i think it's super underrated. I'll be making another beats video pretty soon. within the next few weeks i hope. keep an eye out :)

@@mr.apartment I feel the same. Every time i watch a vid like this one i learn something about this machine. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

Also it goes without saying but nice video.

thanks so much :) currently working on a second one that will hopefully be even better

thanks :) more coming in the next few weeks

cemegonuts haha many thanks :) maybe i’ll have to light one on fire just for you buddy

thanks so much :) happy to inspire, i do actually have another one coming as soon as i get settled in my new place. keep an eye open. maybe in a few weeks

completely agree :)

that’s absolutely why i’m here :)

happy to hear it

it is a musical instrument :)

the dirtier the better :)

:)

thanks :) i have another planned, but it could be a few weeks. the one i'm working on now is killing me haha.

glad you liked it :)

glad you found it useful! i have another video planned on techniques with a keystep. some really fun things you can do. cheers! ;)

yea! makes it super playable, and i’m sure you can make some cool polyrhythms with two doing the stutter thingy :)

glad you liked it, part two is coming at some point, keep an eye out for that

volca earthquake :)

thanks for your thanks :)

glad you enjoyed it :)

totally

completely agree!

i have one demoing the absolute destruction pedal, but yea at some point i’ll be doing more videos. glad you enjoyed 😊

anytime skip :)

honestly it’s been so long i don’t reserve exactly what’s happening here 😂 but my plan is to make a part two to this in there near future

remember **

@@mr.apartment your volca videos are so good. Keep them coming!

oh yea, when i get settled in at the new place planning to make another beats video, plenty of things i have to share :)

gracias amigo

T****s :) i’ll have another coming soon, some really crazy tricks with the keystep pro, also just got the volca bass. stay tuned :)

it’s a great piece of gear

very welcome :)

haha well i'm glad you found it :) i had an xd and sold it to buy some eurorack nastiness. i've started my journey to the dark side :)

aww thanks :) happy to help

just like landing on the moon with less computational power than what's in a standard modern cell phone :)

:)

it does yes :) i’m planning a video specifically for all the weird stuff i’ve found pairing midi with the beats. might be a while but it’s in the works

also thanks for the compliment :) you’ll probably find that the keys are quite spread apart, like i don’t think it’s possible to play all drum parts without switching octaves.

@@mr.apartment thanks for the reply. I look forward to seeing it when you post!

beauty is in the ear of the beholder

@@mr.apartment Totally agree, idk what is the problem with the snare, for me after sounds good, people just complaing about everything they can...

@@spkoftdvl beauty is in the ear of the beholder i guess :)

welcome to the machine

yes and no...you can't have multiple patterns play at the same time from the memory, but if you have a sequencer like sq1 or keystep you can play one sequence from the volca memory and one from the keystep/sq1. this is a really fun thing to mess with because you can for instance set a plain hat beat on the volca then do random stuff to control the other voices like kick and snare. keep in mind some weirdness happens when two trigger signals are going to the beats at once. its a lot of fun though :)

that’s the highest praise, happy to inspire :)

You say that to every volca video!

“…with more intensity”

your mom is 2 years old...think about that

i think it's carved a nice little place for itself in the industry. what about effects? like what do i use?

@@mr.apartment i mean reverb or overdrive, because sometimes in mix it feels poor, but when you listen it directly through headphones it sounds great

@@stanislavsidorov5631 i agree with that completely, i just bought a cheap compressor pedal and it works wonders for getting all the sounds to a good volume. the "part level" knob on the unit itself can mix each voice individually. i'm not sure if that information is saved in the memory or if it resets every time you power cycle. that might be something to explore in the future. i like overdrives/saturators more than distortions personally because i feel it keeps more fidelity of the signal while adding edginess to the sound. distortions on drums i feel take out a lot of the bottom end and that kind of sucks. i'm really drawn to vacuum tube pedals. behringer makes a pretty cheap vacuum tube pedal and i think it was on sale at sweetwater recently. may want to check that out. as for reverb, if you like clean, meris mercury 7 and if you like dirty beautiful noise when the sunexplodes, or EHX holy grail is really nice too. i can speak from experience with those pedals.

working on it actually :) want to get at least 6 tracks finished before i release anything to the public. i do have an IG for poorly recorded random patches if you're interested haha @mrapartment_

i personally don't mind the beats stock sound, but if you want to mod it i say go for it...with the knowledge that there's always a risk in doing so. i've built a lot of modules and made some mistakes that cost me some cash, but it was worth it to me for the experiences i gained.

i thought we already were?

it's in the global settings menu, if you google the manual it shows how to get it done. good luck!

more sound variety would be a plus, but i think for ease of use, portability, unique functionality, and price it’s a damn solid synth

my cheap homemade set up :)

@@mr.apartment it's awesome. At first I thought it was intentional!

killer, love to hear the one's you've been listening to, i need some new tricks in my life

def underrated, i’m planning to make another beats video asap

Just got first edition samples to sync with the beats thru my mixer,sq1 and Behringer model D,now I got the beats pumping big time!!🤖👾⚡
