yes! amazing - spent an hour or two noodling on the sofa...bonus weirdness: if you use this method and slowly play three notes in poly mode, there's a lil' gap in some of the notes after 16 steps...but if you then turn up the portamento, two of the notes will slide to the other's pitch at those points - very nice!

Thanks for sharing your experience! I'll try that too
WoW, I have had my Volca Keys and a few others since they first came out which was 10 years ago but it's only since two days ago that I really learned how to start using it properly 😰 and then I see your video and I tried it too and BINGO !! 🤩 what a result, the drone is great, I love this Volca keys now, it helps of course that I'm also running an effects pedal through it which is a Zoom MS-70CDR which I highly recommend as its got 137 different effects and which can be layered to play several sounds at the same time.....cool !! 😎and now with decect speakers too instead of headphones, what a difference 🥰 Now I have just subscribed to your channel and given you a thumbs up too 👍 Thank you Glen 😃

Hi Glen, I'm really happy for your newfound inspiration! Thank you for your support! Cheers
An other easy trick to keep it droning is to simple place a small coin on one key. You can change the tuning of the drone by sliding the coin but you can't add notes in an other register... advantges and disadvantages.

@@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic the delay is digital, it is done with MCU and the output is 20khz pwm signal, this is why you will see a 20khz peak at the spectrum

@@SkinnyVampiress Thank you for the detailed info! I always noticed that 20khz peak indeed. Now I understand why. Btw I've been a subscriber of your channel since long. I hope you are doing ok.

@@ElectroMagnetic_AmbientMusic interesting! I am more or less ok.. By the way, I modified my volca keys, added the signal out before the delay. It is cleaner, no 20khz peak there :) It is also possible to add a better filter to the MCU output, but the components are so small - not really DIY friendly... p.s. if you want to try an interesting trick - connect the audio output to the sync in :) It will trigger at random, creating some chaotic patterns... But it won't work with direct connection, you need to amplify the signal a little to get it closer to the 5v trigger input. Guitar pedal or something like that should be enough to amplify the signal....
