If you pitch up your samples, you can get more sample time by pitching the sample back down on the machine. It's an old school sampler trick from back in the time of the floppy disk.

@@lilmisssandi did you get the old version or the Volca Sample 2? The 2nd version has double the memory (8mb) and double the sample spots. Although V2 has a USB port, there is also an android app by the folks who make CAUSTIC 3 (a fairly powerful mobile DAW in it's own right) it will allow you to edit and load samples as .WAV files right from your phone easily. It's very intuitive and useful for people who don't always have access to a PC.

Man, people like you make the internet the (mostly) great thing it is. I just got my hands on a used one yesterday and I’d like to thank you very much for the work you put into this. After watching it twice, I’m already able to use my volca the way I want to and create music. This should be packaged with the instrument (at least as a link or something) as most of the others online are useless or lazily made, including korg’s own videos. Without any donation options available that I can see, the only thing I’m able to do is subscribe, but I do that gladly and hope that it somehow helps a bit.

How come I only see this comment 9 months later? Thanks a lot! If this video helped you enjoy your volca and pass the frustration to go straight to the joy of making music with it, it makes me happy :) Thanks for the support! In case you're interested, I now have a patreon set up. There I share some sample packs and presets I make for my videos, but it's not much as I like to have most my content available for free. Have a great day.

As always , really awesome review and tutorial! Had the sample too , for a while. the drums sounds really hard and the motion sequence is awesome to create lively grooves. But even with pattern-chaining 16steps aren't just enough. And they should have implemented a input to sample directly from external gear , it would be a no-brainer. Anyway with the keystep and the Rk002 cable you can play the samples chromatically and have a cheap but powerful setup. You should also checkout the novation circuit. With all the updates they made such a powerful and easy useable tool. I love your videos,man they're amazing! Thumps up

Looks a good instrument, some very useful features but also some restrictions that I am not sure I could deal with. Love the sound editing capabilities which turn this into an actual sampler rather than just a sample playing drum machine but the sequencer is a bit restrictive. Not sure I will replace my ES Mk1 just yet but it may be on the cards.

Great video! Very informative. I'm a long time musician, guitar, bass, piano just getting involved with synthesizers. I have a Behringer TD-3 and a Korg Volca FM as well as a Boss drum machine. I wish I'd bought this instead of the drum machine. It is more complicated but it is much more versatile and it sounds as though it can produce some very interesting sounds. I'll probably buy one of these eventually, they are very cheap. But for now I need to learn to use what I've already got.

Great tutorial, thanks. just for reference, the sample 2 does not have song mode, instead it has a chain function where you hold 'memory' then select the sequence of pads you want, say 1-4. Then you hit play. For some reason korg took song mode out of 2.
@Woochia Жыл бұрын
To be honest, I think that a good change :o I find the song mode almost useless, especially if you can chain patterns in the order you want. I'd gladly take the extra slots to save more patterns

Great detail work and review - I really like your section on "make it synth" - that is SO helpful. Thank you for this and the video. Do I like this device - I think it is very useful and has great value. Like you said it can do almost everything or just be your drum machine. I just recently picked mine up used for less than $100 - I wish I bought it years ago. It is a very useful device in music creation or prefomance if that is your thing. It is also great to pack in a knapsack and jam/create anywhere. Just curious if you are going to do a video on the Sample Firmware hacks including "Pajen" which adds more funcitonality to the device. Thanks for the great videos.

What I liked most about this Volca, is that it made me think about sampling in a different and more creative manner. Warning samples and using bits and pieces, rather than the whole sample is guaranteed to give you hours of fun. Additionally, the 12 bit playback resolution is not nearly as much of an issue as I had expected and the factory samples are powerful.
@leftmono1016 3 жыл бұрын
Think it's 16 bit 31khz. So not as lofi as 12 bit but it does have a great sound. It'd be fantastic if someone made a cheap 12 bit sampler. The old Akais fetch so much money they're obviously very sought after.

So, maybe I got a goofy one perhaps but high end hiss and low sample rate hurt my recordings alot. Id have to eq way too much. Perfect to jam but mine was odd, also too short of loops and chaining basically makes it a 2 or 3 beats long without a computer. Just throwing some balance here I love the volcas and think maybe sample 2 got beter/? Your a great teacher and video maker, no bad vibes at all`

The standard midi implementation doesn’t allow that, but there is an unofficial firmware update that does. Here is a link with a download: ranzee.com/volca-sample-unofficial-firmware/ The author of the firmware goes by Pajen, and you can search and find more info on it. I’ve updated my sample with it and it works great, though I mainly have used it for the four-bars-per-pattern feature.
