Description

The Volca Drum digital percussion synthesizer is based on a simple trigger waveform, wave folder and overdrive are used to add overtones and distortion, and then a waveguide resonator effect brings the sound to life. The six-part DSP synth engine is based on a a 6-part x 2-layer structure, and was designed with a completely different philosophy than conventional drum machines, and generates a wide range of unexpectedly different sounds. And of course, you can play those sounds from the volca-style sequencer.

New Korg Volca Drum...discuss.

...the Minilogue XD and Volca Modular getting the share of attention, thought it’d only be fair to discuss the Volca Drum. I heard the first couple of SoundCloud clips and I was in. Preorder, check. I also picked up the Modular and Minilogue XD preorders (and I swore off both Volca and Minilogues
