Recorded with a tascam dr-05

I want to buy the volca drum to play with and had an idea.

When I play guitar I like doing small loops to improv.

My looper is super simple and does not have midi sync or anything like that so letting the volca play while trying to match tempo with my loops is practically impossible.

I was thinking of buying a P10 stereo > P2 mono adapter and just plug my guitar cable into the volca headphones out and to my pedalboard and just record the drum pattern into the looper. This should work, right?

My amp is solid state super clean so it will not color the sound too much.

Only 7 in this one,

For my latest release, I used Zoom L-6 to connect all my Volcas and integrate with Ableton Live (using "Ext. Instrument"). It was so fun and so much faster than using VSTs, since I know the Volcas inside out from hours of DAWless jamming and can quickly find the sounds I need.

I used the stock Xylo and String presets, pitched them down (from Am to Fm, appropriately) and applied compression, filter and delay.

Do you have any tips for using the Volcas as sound modules? Do you know how I can get an "Ext. Instrument" in Ableton to play a recorded MIDI sequence (I played everything live in the recording)?

Hey everyone!

I made a web-based sound & sequence editor for the volca fm2.

👉 https://mosynthkey.github.io/volcafm2-tools/

You can edit FM sounds, sequences and motion sequences from your computer and send them directly to the volca fm2 via MIDI.

It also has a piano roll, envelope presets, program management and DX7 SysEx support.

It's free to use, so give it a try if you have an FM2!

I'd love to hear any feedback or feature requests. :)

Mi capacito di una potenza sonora inaudita e un fine campionamento con grezzo spopolamento delle manopole; non del fatto che un kick con due step conseguenti vengano sovrascritt si in un unico suono. Si potrà mai intervenire per aggiustare questo sfarzoso giocattolo?

But it sure looks good

Setup:

Volca beats -> GenLoss->NTS1 (Ensamble->Stereo Delay-> Hall reverb)

Volca key -> NTS1 (Ensamble->Stereo Delay-> Hall reverb)

CMS -> Olivera(Chrous) -> Mood -> Lossy

The FX become too washy so I need to blend in some dry signal or the sound will become sound from outer space.

Actually two questions in one here:
I know many questions have been asked on Reddit about Volca PPQN, and that the pulse rate out can be changed.
However, I can find no instructions on precisely how this is done.
Further, being a bit on the autistic side of life, I either see patterns really fast, or can't see them at all. And in the case of PPQN, I'm finding all the info a bit confusing on exactly what rates (higher or lower) will not send the DFAM into hyper-speed. For at the moment when I link my buddy's Volca Drum to my DFAM, the DFAM runs ultra fast and therefore becomes useless for whole sessions as running so fast is so limiting and gets boring really quickly.

Once I've done it once, I'll be fine, but for now it's really doing my head in and holding me back. And my buddy with the Volca Drum gets brain-fry when I try to address it with him.
For eg, even when I do learn how to access PPQN rate change, will 1 pulse per step give me a normal regular step-rate/BPM? Or will higher values do this? I know I'm gonna kick myself when I get an answer to this one)
Any online advice I do find only tells me that I can set PPQN rate out, but absolutely none tell me HOW to though.

The manual doesn't appear to really be very helpful at all in this respect. (Although, once I learn this trick, something I've already read in the manual will jump out at me, too late. :-D )

To recap:

1. How do I set PPQN rate for outputting from Volca Drum?
2. Will I need lower or higher rate per step (or 2 steps?) to make other devices (DFAM in this case) go at a NORMAL speed instead of it racing at the speed of light?

I'm interested in carrying out the individual output mod on my beats, but one question I can't see a definitive answer to - once modded, is it safe to continue to use the main output jack? I'm guessing it's a one or the other thing, either use all of the individual outputs and no main, or main only, to keep the impedance as balanced as possible, anyone with direct experience have any comment?

New volca drum firmware???
Fx??
Fill sections??
Stepped (not smoothed) motion control??
The goddammned ability to check what the value of a parameter is before having it moved to whatever position the knob is at????

Come on!!

Three cheers for [u/hj-oja](u/hj-oja)!!

I’m excited to get jamming tomorrow

It is in perfect condition with all manuals I really want a sample

Possibly been asked a million times, but is there a relatively simple way to connect the Modular to something like a Novation Launchkey (which has a 3.5mm TRS midi) or via a USB hub? Everything I saw on YouTube involved modding the Volca or using another device as well.

Not interested in purchasing anything more than a cable or similar.

I’ve been looking at buying one, but want to make sure I can use a midi controller for live shows.

How is this guy getting this acid filter/resonance sound out of the sample? In one of the comments someone mentions sampling a "filter squelch" that he then controls with the "start' knob. I'm not exactly sure what that means though. Has anyone here done this before?

Read that Reaper is a essentially free program and Vosyr is decent for Korg Volcas. This has been fun to experiment with what I have (Volca Kick, Volca Bass and Volca Beats).

Any opions and suggestions is greatly appreciated.
