I think digital LFOs are fine, it's all about the VCOs, certainly have some big advantages with the syncing capabilities.

I never even thought about LFOs being digital or analog. Hmph. And yeah, I got mine from a Japanese seller on eBay.

Thank you for posting this... off to find some grommets!

Rubadub in UK just got 3 Beats in stock. Bet they gone already

UK in stock here. Don't know how many & only the beats. Also on ebay, free next day shipping.

Korg Volca Beats Analogue Rhythm Machine | Official Dealer for Korg | Buy at

any word from Eric Dahlberg/JRR shop on ship date yet?

Selling Korg Volca Bass and Keys on eBay, I'm in the US and posted a bunch of demos on here using these:

Please note I put best offer on because I know people are definitely looking for these in the US. Includes KA350 adaptors. If you want to make a deal outside of ebay message me!

Korg Volca Bass US w Original Box Manual and Korg KA350 Adaptor | eBay

Korg Volca Keys US w Original Box Manual and Korg KA350 Adaptor | eBay

Do you know JRR is selling all 3 for $360?

Yep, I originally put best offer on these but lowered price to $245 which is about $75 over retail + $20 for the KA350 adaptor.

But why $75 over retail used when you can by them new $20 under retail?

You make a valid point. I am acting under the assumption that some people out there haven't pre-ordered, can't wait and want to get there hands on these now from a US seller. I wouldn't be surprised if this assumption does not hold true and I will have to lower the price to move these .

Because some people don't want to wait and are prepared to pay for instant gratification. I figure I'm just going to wait until Christmas but if I was awash in cash I might feel different. I see nothing wrong with offering them at a higher price even if the demand at that price is smaller, that's basic economics for you.

You can hear the "grain" from the 2:50 mark in the top video here:

Sounds like a badly flawed plan to me ! Is there really anyone that desperate for a cheap box that will be soon be abundant worldwide ?

I just witnessed about 13 - 15 beats models sell in the uk & they took a day & a half to sell at £120 each. That's a long selling time for that little number in a country with a population of 60 million.

Just how popular are they really ?

Korg Volca Series - London launch party - YouTube

London launch party....Whatever !

I have to admit, i think the volca beats sounded good in that even though it was a room mic, you can still get an overall perspective.

Two beats in stock here.... http://www.gear4music.com/Keyboards-...hm-Machine/QPY

For the Volca Keys - how long is the decay/release on the EG? I can't seem to find any demos that show that particular capability?

As far as I can tell, I don't see any retailers in the U.S. who are selling these as in-stock. I am also the only seller on ebay offering these in the U.S.

For anyone who is curious I did try these out and really like them, (you can listen to the demos I have made scattered through this forum) but I am trying to pull money together for a Tanzbar and figure that when the volcas do become abundant I won't have a problem purchasing them again. I wouldn't consider this a badly flawed plan .

Are you really really sure you don't like the Volcas? Let's figure this out for the fifteenth effing time (or not.)

A couple more interesting videos:

volca keys, KP3 At the lakeside - YouTube
KORG volca - ?? / BakaOscillator - YouTube

I was thinking I could trade in my old banged-up Kaoscillator Pro, now I'm curious to try it as an effect module on the volcas' output.

That was much more KP3 than Keys :D
Is there an all midi patterns dump/receive on the Volcas?

What's your problem ? Did i say i don't like them ?.....No.

I think I'm gonna go find a MiniBrute thread and post about how I'm not sure I think it's worth buying, or suits my style of music with the exception of a couple of sounds for 77 pages and attack anyone who suggests I might have better things to do with my time or that perhaps I could just wait till I have an opportunity to actually LISTEN TO IT FOR MYSELF rather than torture everyone else with my Self righteous doubts for four or more months.

how do I start a thread

You first search the forum for the info you require, if you can't find it you then you start a thread.

Sonicstate's Nick Bates has reviewed the Volca Bass:

Just correct me then if i'm wrong but that sounds like a reference to me.
If it is, i have no idea what you or the other guy are talking about. You are deffo making things up, i am not saying that i don't like these products.
In fact i only expressed my opinion once & then expanded on that when other members questioned it, other members who can't cope that this product can be questioned. Even then i was only talking about 1 out of 3 of them so you must be filling in the gaps yourself.
If you feel tortured by someone else's forum posts then maybe you are to over-involved with it to the point where you feel the need to write supportive posts of anyone who has a similar view as your own. You even accused me of being sexist in so many words in an earlier post...
So who was it that brought gender into a forum about an electronic product ? Well, it wasn't me.

There you go lu77, something wrong there i'd say,very strange thing to say. If you don't like what i have to post on here then all you have do is ignore it. I won't miss you. Have fun.

Both are fairly short.

Nope.

How many different drums, do you get a few snare options or kick options? in the that vid he was right the snare sounded pretty shit.
