Man I keep coming back to this video. Every time I find something else cool I like about it. The ping-pong delay at the beginning. The late entry of the kick on the Beats. The gradual detuning of one of the VCOs on the Bass. The breakdown using the keys and some reverb. And all done by hand on those tiny touch ribbons and knobs. It’s masterful. What an inspiration.

Yeah this was pretty tight. Im sure he did some preparations but i wonder how much of this was just improvisation on the fly and how much it was something he practised before he made this. Never the less slapped really hard and required skill. I think this video itself is a good proof that volcas are more than toys than some people deem them to be. Sure, they do lack what alot of others and more expensive synths do, but in the right hands they are very good. Im glad korg decided to make these things.

Are u implying that u are superised that musicians don't always play keys drums guitar or sing? Lol jk but it's a common view of the older generation that if you aren't playing a traditional instrument with vox its not real music, truth me told production of electronic music especially at (higher levels of difficulty) is not any different than motzart writing a symphony, he did the work of putting it together the way we do these days in modern studios and conducting was basically hitting play, changing only slightly where today someone like me can play guitar sing, play drums, keys and FULLY produce and master the whole album n the funny thing is the instrumentation that people sometimes consider real music, compared to a song written in protools or ableton. The instrumentation is the easiest part usually. Becoming a GOOD dj Emcee or Producer these things take more skill, time, and comprehensive understanding of everything from theory to modern applications and new technologies mixed with old analog like this for the warmest sounds. No disrespect just funny some people still feel (electronic music Is less "real" ) than say rock n roll, I beg to argue without robert moog and tech like voice boxes even electric guitars were probably looked at no differently. BUT if u like that check out some of the greats like, squarepusher with his mix of jazz break beats and electronic production that for the time is light-years ahead of itself. These days we have buttons to do this kind of staggering MASHEDUP style traditionally made note by note hit by hit much like the great composers once did.. music is changing soo quickly but our cultural understanding and acceptance seem to take a bit longer.. all my best, to see whats cutting edge today check out someone like beardyman all LIVE looping to create amazing sets! All my best

These are the most bangin' eight and a half minutes on all of KZread.

Once every so often I rewatch these videos. They’re a MasterClass. I just noticed how he brings the bassline in at 1:45 by opening up the Sample’s low shelf filter. This guy did a lot of little tricks like that to be able to bring in/out elements with one hand only. These videos are a product of a heck of a lot of learning, planning, and practice.

@Cimoe

Жыл бұрын

Can you explain how this is done? I have a Volca Sample and don't know what and how he is doing this...

@iamhall

Жыл бұрын

​@@Cimoe I re-watched the first bit of the video, so here is what I see happening with the Sample. Follow along with your eyes and ears... At 0:02 he starts up a program that plays the sonar ping sound. At 0:05 he fiddles with the reverb mix knob to add... well, reverb to the ping. At 1:05 he unmutes one of the parts that has a high hat sound. At 1:12 he unmutes part slot 2, which is a finger snap sound. At 1:18 he unmutes part slot 4, which is a bass. At 1:45, he does two things -- he tweaks the bass analog isolator knob with his left hand to boost the bass sound, but then immediately launches a chained pattern (song) with his right hand -- to introduce a chord progression by having the ping sound turn into a melody and the bassline become more complex. So, what were the tricks we saw? 1. Write a program with everything, then save it with just about every instrument muted. Then unmute various instruments as you play. 2. Instead of starting a song with all effects going, introduce effects later on (like the reverb and bass boost). 3. Introduce a new section of your song by programming new sequences using the same instruments and launch them on the fly. I recommend watching and listening closely through the song. Watch his hands. Listen to what changes with each tweak or press. Look at your Volca to see exactly what buttons or knobs are being manipulated. Figure out what was programmed beforehand. Do it with all the Volcas. Can you work out the sequence of how he played each Volca? How was each Volca set up before the performance? Can you recreate parts of the performance on your Volca? The cool thing is that other than the Sample, you can at least roughly recreate the sounds yourself with some experimentation. It's like when a student goes to a museum to copy a famous painting -- look closely, figure out how it was done bit by bit, then recreate on your canvas. Good luck!

The volcá sample seems to be the solution for several issues in volcá music such a 16 beat pattern sequencer for real interesting bass lines

I read a review, today, that said... and I quote... "Never use anything Korg Volca related. Korg Volca sucks." And then I watched your video and realized that, whoever wrote that review had NO idea how to use what they had, because obviously, they do not suck. If I were wearing a hat, right now, I would be tipping it in your general direction.

also for have experiment in many way lots of vst and hardware the sound of a synth analogic is way better than any vst. When you use a volca keys with a space echo is just better than any ableton reverb or massive preset than you'll get. The problem of these machine IMO is that there is no MIDI out, only mini jack out!! and also they are very small and you need very tiny finger to use the keyboard. the best way to put them in set up is to send midi note from keyboard and to have midi signal splitter.

i can't even believe my ears, this is a masterpiece and it was done live with no post processing...Spuckfunkel you're a goddamn legend.....

This music has accompanied me for over a year. Through good as well as bad times.

I wish this guy put amazon affiliate links cuz he absolutely deserves every last cent of every sale that happened because of this unreal performance.

proof that the best gear is not required for amazing music

Ahhh I keep coming back to this and it rocks my world every time.

A quick search on Google shows he made tiny wings, Andreas Illiger is his name. What a track. I also bought 3 volcas because of this and a korg monotron. Love them

I barely can imagine how much fun it makes twiddling and achieving this, when it is already so gratifying to watch.

The only relevant machine here is the brain of the one that composed the song. Amazing and beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

FYI- this has hit my regular playlist- jamming to it while I work.

Hands down the best jam of its type on youtube. Raw and smooth, this is pure techno. Volcas have never sounded quite this good!

Some orgasmic analogue sounds of This synchronisation between 4 analogue units which manupulates different characters of sound waves on 16 individual keys(lit at the bottom ) of each unit to blend and create this sense of rhythm and flow

now I want to buy all of them. damn son this is what music making is all about

Inspiring and genius talent. The way it builds on the off beat so well that it takes some time for the ear to synch with the actual downbeat of the measure even after the kick drums starts to mark it.The sound is great. It reminds me Royksopp. I love this. Well done.

This is soo good!

Those small gears, Volca's, this revival on Analog gear is a great news ! More than 20 years in the desert for analog synths. Guy around 50 now was too yound in the early 80s to get one... Then, analog was replace by digital synth D50, DX7... Yes, those was good synth, a little bit less expensive, but this gave alos a lot of synth without any savor. I was always asking me : Why they did not recreate Prophet, Jupiter.... Finally, it took more than 20 years ! Again we had discover analog synth ! Synths are my passion ! I've the Volcas too. Those gears, for the price, are incredible. But do not imagine you can play like this in few days. Creating music on them can be compex, not alway intuitive... But at the end, this sounding like.... real root analog !

Well, I ended up here again and this is still fantastic, what a masrerful and creative use of these little boxes.

I really love this. I find myself coming back and sharing with friends.
