A very good keyboard for anyone who wants to get started in the wonderful world of analog synths. A complete and versatile product to take on vacation or improvise on the beach without electricity!
Its small size can be disabling, and the comfort of use is slightly less than on a real good keyboard, but other than that, a very good product.Automatically translated

A device with multiple possibilities BUT absolutely not intended for the beginner who has never used a synth...
I have put it away in a corner for now because its operation is not intuitive, but that is only my opinion.
I am still convinced that it is a great piece of hardware, but I need to free up some time to understand how it works.Automatically translated

I have just received it I do not have enough perspective to give an opinion but at first glance it suits me very well just a small downside: I think that the power supply from the mains would have been welcome.

Amazing analogue synth. Does screaming bass, fat pads, nice atmosphere sounds. Use an external midi sequencer to really get the best from it.

Good little machine, mostly the Korg Volca for making kick effects and lots of good little sounds. To try.

What sequencer is built-in?
The loop sequencer includes active steps, a Flux function for unquantized playback, and on-the-fly sequence switching. Eight user memory slots are available to save sequences. Programming is done with the Multi Touch Pad Trigger and the LED display.
What sounds and effects can be obtained with the Volca Keys?
The analog architecture combines 3 VCOs, a low-pass filter, a VCA, an LFO, and an ADSR envelope. A built-in delay effect, the only onboard effect, adds repeats and depth to leads, pads, and sequenced patterns.

Power is supplied by 6 AA batteries or the KA-350 power adapter, sold separately. With dimensions of 193 x 115 x 45 mm, a weight of 377 g, and a built-in speaker, this format is suited for mobile use.
