You can plock on the first one too. My favorite thing to do is record motion sequencing without recording notes and then play the sound live. It works like complex modulation that isn't repetitive.
@PerfectCircuit Жыл бұрын
oh snap for real? We tried it on that V1 unit but it didnt work like the V2, motion sequencing was the same but the V2's p-locking was way intuitive, we'll check it out though thanks ! :)

- This post is the trigger to push away my last doubts on buying this unit! I am a guitarplayer myself (punk/metal/industrial). I never really played with samplers like this. I love industrial music and from hearing some examples on youtube I already got a NIN / Ministry vibe. Looks great to create some nice industrial backingtracks. Hearing from you Trent loved this, I have to have one! Met him myself in 2007 and got my guitar signed by the band :)

I've owned MPC's, just about every model of Electribe (currently Electribe Sampler 2), Digitakt, and they are all great machines, but this little bad boy, sure it's limited, but it's a really cool little device. Its very powerful for the size too, very cool for making beats in bed, on the go etc. It definitely has a sound too, for whatever reasons, it actually has 16 bit, 32khz sample format, but sounds like far less, and the aliasing in the samples is pretty extreme, can be good or bad but very characterful. The motion sequencing is very powerful, each step can be a different note, have different decay, attack, length, tone control etc. A unique little box and one of my favorite beatmaking machines! I do have a problem with mine though, the samples can become garbled after a while. I just back mine up with the excellent editor software, and reload when necessary.

Had the original Sample. Bought it used it a bit but I'm really into Sludge metal so Guitars fuzz pedals and big old amps took center stage. The Sample sat around and a friend wanted it so I sold it. Now 7-8 years later and not playing much Sludge and I'm really missing it. I bought an Akai MPK mini play and have been making beats with a looper pedal and some other effects and It's cool and fun, but I'm going to get a new Sample. You reminded me how much fun that little piece of kit is. Great vid fren.

I'm all about the MPC pads when I do live padding with my samples, for everything else I'm into trackers like Renoise. I was looking for cheap and portable samplers earlier today to sync some breakbeats and/or to trigger videogames and movie quotes (or whatever lol) in between songs for my livesets and was surprised to see that the most recommended one is a Volca ! Nice video man, seeing you talking love about these samplers makes me want to get it even more lol !

i just ordered one earlier from ebay. i'd been tempted to hold out and get an MPC 500 instead, and it was really hard to decide if i should or not. it was being able to feed it through with USB that swung it for me. (and being half the price helped too). the 2 main things i was wondering was can i do jungle on it, and can i do industrial. and i have now seen videos of it doing both, just fine. and now i realise i can put it in my bag, cycle somewhere with it and just sit in the sun somewhere (drinking wine) and jam with it, i can't wait for it to arrive now!

Imo it's worth it to spend an extra 50$ and get a used Electribe 2 sampler. That thing was such a workhorse for me when I first started doing hardware production. I've since moved onto an MPC but sometimes I still miss the great workflow of those machines.

Electribe 2 sample is 399 new, 299 used. This is 109 new! Even those not discounting the price, it's 159 to 169. I always felt Electribe was over priced. At 400.00 you are so close to a used mpc one. Seen those for 600 to 650 in great shape!

It doesn't make a huge difference though, most people hardly ever connect these to a computer. But yeah, USB C would've been nice. If there's a Korg Volca Sampler 3, it might get it. I'd also like variable rate sampling up to 48 khz, user ability to choose 8, 12 or 16 bit, on device sampling, integrated battery, aux input and mutual output to a DAW over USB, micro SD card slot with direct sample streaming, ability to record unquantised beats. I'd pay 2 or 3 times more for these features.

You can import samples using usb, but not record. Also, a good trick to save memory on the volca is to double the speed of the samples before you import them, then slow them down using the pitch function on the unit.

I love your enthusiasm (and history) for this device it is definitely one of the cooler Volcas and for the price it's hard to say anything bad about it, especially for a beginning synth/electronica musician. However I would NOT call this device a "sampler". It's more of a "sample sequencer". To me a "sampler" can actually take an input and cut a sample from it and then you can adjust the beginning and end of the sample and even cut it up into smaller pieces. I may be wrong but I don't believe the Volca Sample can do that, you need to supply the finished samples to it and from there you can't really edit the samples. Am I wrong?
