All user reviews of 4/5 for the Korg Volca Bass

I am xxxxx th, I will not repeat the record please product!
the octave range step is sufficiently wide, at the same time, we will type in the grave!
what style: bass, acid house, tb 303, electro, agrotech
8 memories of it, but no effect, no potentiometers notched or even numbered markers on the silkscreen. must make a cache and is even making its bearings.

UTILIZATION

use based on a manual 2-page mega simple, but the edition of steps, korg not done in simple.
the edition is easy, have similar machines is not a obligaction to understand, ca may be the thing for a beginner as a sound module in its SET +

I love the 3 sounds that off valves have a close emulation of Tb 303, novation BassStation, or novation Xstation or roland SH101 or ....

brief, low very adaptable
I do not like: the DWARF format GARDEN! why strive to put knobs so small, korg had a wholesale price on the knobs of the monotron since it is found everywhere. better, make a keyboard where the keys are smaller than your finger! MONOTRON for ever!
in 2013, the price of plastic is it exorbitant? the case deserves to be 30% + great to have key 10 mm, diameter 8 knobs, and especially to allow the field to the headphone, MIDI and taken power because it is too embarrassing , must tinker with angled plugs.
the rear speaker is also very funny, Reminds my nintendo 1994 this stuff behind 12 cm more (inaudible!).
can be rotated with 6 AA batteries, the double-sided tape to keep the box gg grams on the table is not provided!

I do not understand what commercial choice, it does not tablett, not paperback either not robust machine not NOMAD

SOUNDS

fortunately saves his stuff. for 130 euros, it is doing well, much better than machines and 400 +.
let's be objective, it will take DELAY output, and equalizer / noise gate for LIVE because you can quickly dirty bass by superimposing evil 3 synths.

to push some doors open:
this is not quite a MonoTribe, quite MONOTRON 3, quite a groove box is a hybrid genre

OVERALL OPINION

few hours of use and wear to be satisfied
it's still fragile to LIVE as the series and big sister, and found quickly find the MODS, to lose the warranty but winning functionality.

I highly recommend the volcanic beat and keys oriented gadget, and sounds MARIO 2.

For the characteristics I believe that there a lot of info on the net

In terms of sound, there are not 36, this is a sound that attempts to mimic the TB-303 (ACIIIIID), but honestly I think for the money the sound is really good, except a little breath when pushing the master volume a bit too far, or when connecting a headset on.
Also the presence of 3 VCO that can vary a bit sounds and give your dynamic patterns.
MIDI IN is present, but no MIDI OUT on the other hand, shame ... but for that price I will not complain.
It is obviously possible to synchronize all of the Korg Volca Series, which can be quite fun

-No editor PC / MAC
-No expression pedal (Sustain etc.)

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is ultra-intuitive, the Volca Bass suitable for both confirmed that beginner, or one who just wants a few hours tripper above.

It happens very quickly create, groove it alone, and it is rewarding.
on the other hand:
The knobs are very very thin, which can be annoying for those who have the hands of loggers.
The aesthetics of the machine pleases me well (personal opinion), but what is the overall finish is a little cheap: the tiny knobs and have the game
Aside from that, nothing too bad.

SOUNDS

The sounds are mostly "Acid" type, more suited to electronic music after everyone is free to adapt it to the style he wants!

I was amazed by the power of sound that emerges Volca Bass for its size, I make Techno, and small bass lines "Acid" I did well kiffer.

OVERALL OPINION

I use since September 2013, commissioned in July I was a victim of out of stock, and from what I see on the net, these shortages are still valid, Korg did not anticipated it ...

Apart from a few ergonomic flaws and the quality of some materials may be inadequate, the Volca Bass is a good little machine that does what you ask him ... Basses.
Small price, its more than adequate, maximum portability, Korg has pleasantly surprised me!
For those on a budget or just want to discover the world Hardware is a purchase that I recommend!

With experience, I do it again this choice without hesitation, I expect even take me to his Beats Volca Bassdrum to 808
