We took the modern classic Korg Volca Beats, physically altered its snare circuit chip to be fuller and more punchy, then ran the sounds of the drum machine through some of world-class outboard gear.

Then we put the samples together to create a series of ready-to-play Drum Rack for Ableton Live.



The download includes the samples plus 3 projects of Drum Racks - from simple to complex - and tutorial steps on how to se them to shape the sounds.

The Sounds

 

The Korg Volca Beats is the rhythm machine in a new series of three portable, affordable, and analog music production tools by Korg - the Volca Keys, Volca Bass, and Volca Beats. The unit is incredibly simple, and hence very fun to use, and having a true analog engine with sounds heavily referencing classic drum machines, the Volca Beats sound quality delivers far beyond its footprint. The Volca Beats keeps it simple - six analog "parts" which are editable with only one knob per function; a built in step sequencer; one single effect - stutter, which generates repeated triggers; and MIDI in for both sync and note entry. It even has an internal speaker!

 

 

The Samples

 

The samples were recorded direct from the Korg Volca Beats into an API 512c Lunchbox pre-amp, then through a channel of the SSL 9000k console for some slight compression and EQ, before being captured back in to Ableton Live with a Apogee Rossetta 200 ADC. It might be a consumer priced drum machine, but it was amongst some giants (with giant price tags). It was pretty surreal hearing the Volca's meaty analog kick booming through Genelec 1039A monitors.
