I've always admired that Anderton's willingness to shout-out the team behind the camera and it's good to see the falcon has gotten some screen time too! Bravo Chris - great video.

Oh i love these 80s sounds of the DX generation/family ... this was a quantum step back then🪒 Great demo ❗Thanks a lot for sharing ↗

Great and thorough first impressions video! I have the OG Volca FM and I love it! The reverb and extra polyphony make this update tempting! Thanks again!

Great video Falcon ! Thanks for sharing, love the sound examples 🔥👍🏼

One of the best reviews of these yet. Thank you for the walk through and beautiful sounds.

People keep trashing the Volca line, but for someone just getting into or doesn't want a PhD in electronic music, they aren't so bad. You can get 4 or 5 units for less than a higher end midi keyboard. Thanks for the great video.

I think the problem was the old Volca FM's 3-note poly was a bit too restrictive

You're right, you can get 4 Volcas for less than a "proper" synth, 5 even if you're buying used. However! You're better of getting 1 proper synth instead. Get a Hydrasynth, a Monologue XD, a Minifreak, etc. and it'll be a better experience than dealing with a couple of Volcas.

As a kid, I always wondered why the Genesis sounded so different compared to the SNES. I didn't find out it was FM until a couple months ago

It's nice to see someone with a full head of hair in front of the camera for a change

Tje previous video in my playlist was from Canada where everyone not from B.C. apparently was subtitled, hardcoded in the video. *So glad we are Europeans*

Can Andertons Music/anybody reading this please recommend a basic mixer for use with half a dozen volcas? Nothing fancy: 6-8 channels (including a couple stereo channels), basic EQ and at least one send bus for FX.

Falcon!!!

I think you'll find it is the modulator that affects the carrier!

I’m most likely going to buy one, but very disappointed that the trs to midi adapter is NOT included.

I know I bought one and had to wait 2 days to be able to use in my setup!

Where's the portamento/glide for the mono setting? Where's the swing? Where's the ability to send arpeggios via the MIDI out?

Never took much interest in the Volca series but this seems and sounds very impressive. How does this compare to the dexed VST?

The Volca has a better sound -- probably due mainly to the lovely chorus. The volca is also better for real time tweaks where Dexed glitches

Closer to a true DX7 sound than the OpSix. But the OpSix can do a lot of sounds the DX7 can’t.

The song that demonstrates the synth treacle potential of FM synths is “Together in electric dreams”.

I can see the keyboard not being big enough for the Volca.

Why a abbreviated FM instrument when for $300 there is the RefaceDX a very powerful programmable synth? Yes, the Reface is only 4 operators, but still has all the editing and sound of the DX7 with a UI that is infinitely better.

You can’t get those DX7 EP sounds on a 4 Op. The more complex harmonics/algorithms aren’t there.

@WildernessMusic_GentleSerene

Still better than a Volca. I was tempted to buy 4 or 6 volcas at one time because they sounded so good, and everyone seemed to be able to get good sound. But then the repetition of patches across the community began to appear. What I feared from an abbreviated synth was true; very little range of sound design. So, I decided to save my money longer for a more complete synth. A set of 4-6 Volcas, however, is a fantastic way to begin your journey into sound design and orchestration. After 55 years of performing/programming/designing on keys I desire a more complex synth. @@DannyKavka

“Expanded” midi connectivity is not midi, and Korg doesn’t include the midi adaptor.

Great demo, well done. Disappointing update to the original Volca FM though in my opinion. Ironic that it’s only capable of ‘1983 analogue polyphony’ when it should be 16 note polyphonic (at least), like the original DX7, given that it’s nearly 40 years on since the DX7 mk1 was released!

“intuitive interface” said no FM synth ever lol
