    Very helpful and entertaining! Thank you! You concentrated on the sounds. If I remember right, one big difference regarding the sequencer is the Nubass' capability to randomize the Slides, Transpose and Accents which I really like while jamming with it.

    Oh man, could you imagine the Volca Bass with proper pattern chaining? I LOVE the Volca Bass, it's one of those devices I will probably never ever get rid of because it sounds really good and is cheap as chips. I think I paid 75 euros for mine including an adapter, you can barely have a night out for that price these days.

    The sequencer on the nubass is really nice, love step jump and being able to edit and randomise transpose/slide/accent. It's a real shame you can't use velocity to control accents over midi though. I find myself using the bass more though.

    I love everything about this machine (I own it) especially the fact they implemented a pattern shift left/right on it but what I dislike the most is that you can't put slides onto all the steps. If you do it will fade out. Also note that the sustain function does not fix this issue. There is a lack of firmware also but that's pretty much with all the volcas as Korg doesn't really pay much attention to its user/consumer base. This is even more evident with their release of the Drumlogue. You want a good acid machine I would get a Bassbot from Cyclone Analogic or if it's in your budget a Avalon Bassline used... if you can even find one. Me personally; best budget 303 is the Behringer TD3 or is Modded Out version.

    So I have been having problems getting my NuBass to power from Myvolts Crazychain All my other volcas work on one chain but I can't get it to power just one NuBass. It shows a low battery for 3 seconds and power down immediately without working. Did you have to do anything to get it to work with MyVolts over USB?

  • @AdamVoxMusic

    How many amps is the Myvolts? Volca Nubass uses a Vacuum tube technology that has a High power consumption than a transistor driven synth (or digital).

    God I hope there's a NuBass2 in the works with the Volca Bass individual oscillator tuning! That & pattern chaining, a more robust drive, maybe a delay/reverb... would be an INSTANT nab since I sequence externally anyway, so the built-in seq limitations aren't as major.

  • @pinguchan1
    @pinguchan12 ай бұрын

    It does seem like the user interface is slightly smoother on this one, in terms of the pattern chain and accent abilities? Wonder if there will be a Bass2 that incorporates some of those design features. I’ve been playing with the FM2 recently and while the sequencer seems to not quite fit what I need, I am enjoying the pattern chaining and other functions.
