KORG VOLCAMODULAR Semi-modular Analog Synthesizer, 16-step Sequencer

The Korg Volca Modular is a professionally designed micro-modular analog synthesizer that comes along with 8 individual modules created capable to harness the power of West Coast synthesis for creating a wide pallete of sounds and textures, that what makes it well suited for musicians and producers working in the studio or performing live on stage. The machine comes utilizing a semi-modular approach, so no patch cables are required for making the sound. However, the true spirit of this synthesizer lies in the 50 patch points, which is giving the user to freely experiment along with the signal flow of CV or audio signals.

The Volca Modular is utilizing a single part for programming the eight modules in the engine including Source, Woggle, Functions, Split, Utility, Dual LPG, Space Out, and Sequence. The onboard step-sequencer is giving you use the capability to manually input up to 16 steps per pattern, but also possible to be used for real-time recording. The pattern chaining function is capable to chain up to 16 sequences for constructing patterns along with up to 256 steps. Use the motion sequence function for recording knob movements during real-time recording and for reproducing them during playback. Additional features and functions are made including Randomize, which is capable to generate accidental ideas, and two added playback modes, Bounce and Stochastic, that makes a round trip through the steps or gradually proceeds while randomly moving forward and backward, all at the same time. Also included are advanced musical scales, keys, and micro-tunings. Choose from 14 types of scales including equal temperament. Since you are able to also specify the tonic key from which these scales start, you are capable to play these scales in any key.

The Volca Modular is possible to be synchronized along with other Volcas and Electribes with the use of the Sync I/O. Additionally, the machine comes featuring a single TRS-mini CV input, allowing for two CV inputs for controlling the pitch and other functions from an outside source. The Korg Volca Modular is powered by an optional power supply or with the use of the included six AA batteries and ships with a set of 20 pin cables for patching.

Modules

Source:
- Consists of a triangle VCO carrier and a modulator
- Complex overtones generated by FM modulation
- Sent through a wavefolder circuit to add additional overtones
- Produces a distinctive sound
- Determines the basic character of sound
Functions:
- Two function (envelope) generators
- ADH generator with attack, hold, and release
- Rise and fall generator (slope generator)
  - Applies time varying change to the sound
  - Patch the end trigger out into the trigger in as a loop, making it usable as a VCO or LFO
Woggle:
- Random signal generator
  - Contains sample & hold circuit that uses pink noise as its source
  - Two outputs for either stepped or smooth random noise
Split:
- Single input to two outputs.
- Can be used in the reverse, combining two control or audio signals into one
Dual LPG:
- Two low-pass gate circuits
- Typical of the West Coast style of synthesis
- Each LPG circuit packages a filter with an amp, allowing the brightness and volume of the sound to vary together
Utility:
- Mixing scaling module
- Combines two signals in various ways
- Mix audio and control signals
- Invert or attenuate signals
Space Out:
- Stereo module that applies a reverb-like effect to the audio signal
Sequence:
- Connects to the internal sequencer
- Set the tempo and select different rhythm divisions to output via the gate counter
