A Modern Classic in the volca Series
Within the volca family, the Korg volca bass concentrates the essentials of an analog bass synthesizer into a portable chassis. True to the "plug & play" spirit of the range, it adopts the direct and performance-oriented workflow popularized by Electribe machines, allowing you to quickly create sharp patterns without using a computer.
Who Is It For, and What Are Its Uses?
Ideal for both beginner and experienced producers, the volca bass shines in techno, acid house, electro, synthwave, or any music centered on pulse. Its immediate usability makes it an excellent jam companion, while its sync and MIDI In allow integration into studio or live setups with drum machines, sequencers, and other volca units.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Korg Volca Bass polyphonic?
The maximum polyphony is 1 voice: the three VCOs combine to shape a monophonic bassline.
Can the Volca Bass be synchronized with a drum machine?
A Sync input and output in 3.5 mm mono mini-jack format allow connection to other compatible devices. The MIDI input also enables control from an external sequencer. The stereo headphone output in 3.5 mm mini-jack is used for monitoring or recording.
How many sequences can be stored?
Eight user memories are available to save patterns. The Active Steps and Flow functions allow modification of the rhythmic structure and playing without strict quantization.
Does the Volca Bass run on batteries?
Power is supplied by 6 AA batteries or the KA-350 power adapter, sold separately.
What kind of sound does this analog bass synth offer?
Three VCO oscillators, a resonant low-pass filter, an LFO, and an Attack-Decay-Release envelope make up its analog subtractive synthesis engine. This architecture enables stacking or detuning oscillators to create bass sounds suitable for techno, acid house, or synthwave.
