In the Volca tradition, a modern classic in analog rhythm

Part of Korg's "Volca" family, the Volca Beats brings the warmth of analog drum machines up to date while offering a modern workflow. Its sonic character evokes the legendary machines of the 1980s, with a direct and playful hands-on experience that has made it a standard among beatmakers, producers and performers.

Who is it for, and what is it for? From the studio to the stage, for all electronic styles

Curious beginners and experienced producers alike will find it an immediate tool for electro, techno, synthwave, ambient, pop and live looping. Its thick sounds cut through a mix with ease and blend effortlessly with guitar or acoustic drums, whether in a minimalist setup or at the heart of a modular/DAW setup.

Good little machine, what a good thing to say especially for the price and quality, it's easy to use, the only negative point is the power outlet that you have to buy separately, because there are only batteries and it's the same on all Volcas but I am very happy with my purchase at Woodbrass

Received today! On the other hand, Chronopost did not take into account the change of address, so they tried again at the wrong address (which I gave at the beginning)... Luckily they left it in a tobacco shop in the neighborhood! Thanks anyway! :)

Would be perfect if for neophytes like me there was a real user manual and not a multi-language description of the “dashboard” of this box, as for the tutorials everything happens at the speed of the TGV and most often in English, too bad

Big sounding little box with it's own character. If I ever decide to get another drum machine it will be to use alongside this rather than replace it since it's sounds are so unique. Excellent value too.
