KORG VOLCAKICK VOLCA KICK/BASS PERCUSSION SYNTHESIZER
The Volca Kick - Analog Kick Generator made by Korg is professionally designed featuring an analog circuit based on the powerful resonant sound of the original MS-20 filter and is capable of creating a wide range of kick sounds only possible through analog circuitry. Possible tones range from solid kick drums to crisp kick basses. The integrated 16-step sequencer comes featuring Touch FX, which is letting you control an effect instantly, giving you unprecedented live performance potential. Pattern chaining is giving you the capability to create a large-scale structure of 256 steps (16 steps x 16 patterns). The unit is also capable to be controlled along with its multi-touch keys allowing for pitched sequences intended for creating kick-basslines well suited for trap and grime.
Designed with a straightforward structure, the Volca Kick is utilizing the MS-20 Resonator (Pitch/Bend/Time) capable to generate the core tone, and the Pulse Color/Level is adding the initial attack and the Amp Attack/Decay adjusts the decay of the sound at the same time. Use the Drive and Tone controls for adding multiple stages of distortion and adjust the high frequencies. The unit is capable to receive MIDI from an external controller or DAW with the use of its 5-pin DIN connector. Multiple units from the Volca line are possible to be clock-synced along with the 1/8" Sync In and Out connectors. It is capable to be powered by the included six AA batteries or along with the optional KA-350 AC adapter.
