The Volca kick is an analog kick sound generator designed for sound design. Its circuit, based on the powerful resonant filter of the MS-20, allows you to create a wide range of kick sounds, from the driest and most powerful kick drums to the fattest kick basses that can only be originated through analog synthesis. The distinctive 16-step sequencer of the Volca has been provided with a new Touch FX function to instantly manage an effect to increase the artist's expressiveness during live performances. Discover the power of analog synthesis in producing kick sounds that are difficult to achieve with plug-ins or sample libraries.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;h2\u0026gt;Powerful synthesizer for kick and kick bass generation\u0026lt;\/h2\u0026gt;\u0026lt;h4\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Analog kick sounds reproduced by the oscillation of the MS-20 filter\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/h4\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The Volca kick generates powerful and present kick sounds using a completely analog circuit. For the creation of these sounds, it does not use a typical sine wave, but a sound originating from the filter oscillation derived from the original MS-20. The powerful \"REV. 1\" filter of the MS20 would self-oscillate as the resonance increased towards maximum values, which is why it was used precisely in the production of kick sounds rich in complex harmonics.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Simple and immediate parameters are available on which you can interact to obtain an extended range of kick sounds. Start the sound design process using the pitch, bend, and time parameters of the MS-20 RESONATOR with which you will manage what in drumming jargon is called \"body resonance,\" colloquially known to many as \"thump.\" Then move on to the PULSE COLOR\/LEVEL controls to modify the attack component and to the ATTACK\/DECAY parameters of the amplifier to manage the envelope of the originated sound. From the driest, most piercing and present kick sounds to the kick basses in vogue in mainstream EDM genres: Korg Volca Kick is your new reference point for the production of analog kick sounds.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;h4\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Drive and Tone parameters\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/h4\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;In addition to the sound generation circuit based on the MS-20 filter, the sound is subjected to a multi-stage analog distortion. The type and amount of distortion can be modified by adjusting the \"Drive\" knob, which changes the character and power of the kick sound. With the \"Tone\" parameter, we intervene on the high-frequency components. \u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;h4\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Powerful and distinctive Kick Bass for your Beats\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/h4\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The Volca kick is not a simple drum machine. You can use the 16-key touch keyboard to play aggressive bass lines based on the impressive sub-bass sounds generated by the analog circuit, essential for dance genres like grime or trap. Given the pitch range covered, from low to mid frequencies, in the sequences created with the Volca Kick you can use varied sounds, from tuned TOMs to sound effects.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;h2\u0026gt;The Volca sequencer to create impactful patterns\u0026lt;\/h2\u0026gt;\u0026lt;h4\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;16-step sequencer with automation of all parameters\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/h4\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The Volca kick is equipped with a 16-step sequencer with additional functions that extend the freedom of improvisation.\u0026amp;nbsp; You can use it to lay out a kick pattern extremely quickly, or to record in real time while playing a kick bass from the integrated touch keyboard. The pattern chain function will allow you to continuously sequence different patterns, to build extended duration sequences: 32, 64, up to 256 steps by chaining all 16 sequences. The motion sequence function of the Volca Kick records parameter variations induced by potentiometer movements, to create real automations that can be reproduced during pattern playback; excellent for giving more bite to your loops even in live performances. In the internal memory of the Korg Volca Kick you can save up to 16 patterns and their respective sounds.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;h4\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;ACTIVE STEP new beats and bass lines in a few steps\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/h4\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The Active step function allows you to skip one or more steps during the playback of a sequence. You can generate DJ-style effects, from the simplest loop-style to the most peculiar and unusual irregular rhythms. Not just a simple sequencer, but a real additional tool in live performances.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;h4\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;An extra gear for your sequences with ACCENT, SLIDE and BEND REVERSE\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/h4;\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The Volca kick allows you to edit each step of the sequence. With the accent function, you can program the dynamics of each step (not per trigger) using the corresponding knob, while the slide function serves to blend the steps by connecting them harmoniously, without breaks, and will be particularly useful in producing bass lines. Bend Reverse is programmable on each single step and consists of reversing the pitch envelope: instead of behaving conventionally with the traditional \"descending\" passage, it will generate a particular inverse effect on the pitch of the kick's tail, from low to high. This Volca not only generates traditional analog kicks, but innovative sounds and unprecedented kick patterns.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;h4\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Breaks and fills via TOUCH FX\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/h4\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The new Touch FX function expands the live expressive potential of the Volca Kick. Among the effects controllable from this touch strip are \u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;ROLL\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;, for repetitively playing a sound, \u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Octave\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;, for increasing the pitch by one or two octaves, and \u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Sustain\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt; for instantly increasing the volume of the kick's tail.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;h2\u0026gt;Extreme versatility and interaction\u0026lt;\/h2\u0026gt;\u0026lt;h4\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Play synchronized with another instrument\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/h4\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The Volca kick is equipped with analog sync connectors for connecting to other synths and grooveboxes. Connect it to other instruments in the Volca series, to the Minilogue, to an Electribe or to the SQ-1 to synchronize sequences and patterns. The MIDI IN connector allows you to use the Volca Kick as a sound module for your DAW software or to play it from a MIDI Controller.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;h4\u0026gt;\u0026lt;strong\u0026gt;Play it Anywhere\u0026lt;\/strong\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/h4\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Thanks to its compact size, battery
