In this tutorial I show how to make dub techno chords with Korg Volca Bass synthesizer. It is monophonic, but there are two methods to play chords. The delay effect I'm using here is Ableton Live's Ping Pong Delay.

WHAT A COINCIDENCE !!! This is the worst tutorial of any equipment I ever watched . This guy is just turning knobs randomly without explaining what he is doing , also doesn't seem to know exactly what a chord is ...or a note

Making techno is not the same as going to music school you know. He does explain it pretty well, but if you don't know the basics, you may want to check out basic tutorials about Oscillators, Pitches etc.

I think in second part minor chord is created. Second note 3 (minor third) semitones away from root and the third 7 (fifth) away from root note. If you approach chord construction on Bass from semitone point of view (without using your ears) you can then easily create all sorts of 3 note chords.

@electronicmusiccreativity8908 8 жыл бұрын

+Orlando Rojas these questions were already answered in other comments. But anyway, it is ableton ping pong delay. And volca bass is connected to ableton via my external soundcard's audio input, and an audio channel in ableton.

@EliahHoliday 8 жыл бұрын

Great vid! By the way, you could do the same thing with Volca Keys I assume. For Dub Techno chords would the Volca Bass & Volca Keys be identical?

@electronicmusiccreativity8908 8 жыл бұрын

+Eliah Holiday I don't have Volca Keys so I don't know. But from what I know about it, Volca Keys, being a polyphonic synth, should be better for this kind of sound actually, and easier to make. But that's why I made this video, volca bass is not built for chords, yet there is a way to produce them.

@electronicmusiccreativity8908 7 жыл бұрын

You can easily do the same thing with any DAW. Just hook up your volca bass to your soundcard (volca bass headphone out to soundcard audio input), then add an audio track track in your daw and you should be able to hear volca bass through your DAW. You can add effects to it and do all kinds of cool stuff

@JoeHensson 6 жыл бұрын

Well, on the Keys there is already a delay effect integrated (no need for routing the signal through the computer and a delay plugin). But then again, the filter on the Bass is better - I think the video shows very well how thick and analog sounding it is. What the OP also shows is how a slight detune in one of the oscillators makes all the difference - you cannot do that just like it on the Keys. I would go for the Bass.

I've started from scratch, func+15, did the same as you do but I'm not getting the same sustainability of the sound when I turn it on. Any idea why? I'm concerned if something is wrong with my toy.
