    Korg Volca Drum is the most unique drum synth in the volca lineup, with a newly developed DSP engine giving it a distinctive sound. The digital percussion synthesizer features a 6-part x 2-layer structure, waveguide resonator, 16-step sequencer, slice function, randomise functions and an LCD display.

    Based on a simple trigger waveform, wave folder and overdrive are used to add overtones and distortion, and then a waveguide resonator effect brings the sound to life. The six-part DSP synth engine was designed with a completely different philosophy than conventional drum machines, and generates a wide range of unexpectedly different sounds. And of course, you can play those sounds from the volca-style sequencer.

    Main features of the Korg Volca Drum include:

  • Waveguide resonator adds rich resonances
  • 16-step sequencer with a wide range of parameter automation
  • ACTIVE STEP lets you replace steps for each part
  • Slice function finely divides a step to allow drum-rolls
  • An accent function that can be specified in 16 levels
  • A convenient choke function lets you specify grouping for parts
  • Two randomize functions expand your inspiration
  • Novel design featuring a custom LCD
  • Synchronized performance with other volca and electribe units, and with your DAW
  • Compact, size, battery operation, and built-in speaker mean that you can take this unit anywhere and enjoy playing on the go

    • Digital percussion synth with a 6-part x 2-layer structure
    The term "digital" typically brings to mind sounds that are based on PCM-sampled bass drum, snare drum, or cymbal, but the volca drum creates its drum sounds by DSP-powered analog modeling. Oscillator waveforms such as sine wave, sawtooth wave, and noise are provided. By applying various changes to these waveforms, you can create a wide variety of percussion sounds that range from realistic to idiosyncratic, and are not limited only to drums.

    The six parts each have two layers, and do not impose any rules or restrictions such as specifying which parts must be used for the bass drum or for the cymbal; all parts have the same specifications. You can freely assign your new sounds to these six parts without being limited by the conventions of a drum set. A kit consists of the six parts that you've assigned plus the waveguide resonator effect settings, and 16 such kits can be stored in memory (the factory settings contain 10 preload kits).

    Distinctive sound from a newly developed DSP engine
    Each part consists of two layers. For each layer, users choose one of five types of oscillator waveform including sine wave, sawtooth wave, and HPF noise, and also choose from three types of pitch modulator and amp EG, each optimized for drum sounds. Layer parameters can be edited either individually or simultaneously, and users can also use the two layers to produce the same sound for additional thickness.

    You can customize the resulting trigger waveform by applying bit reduction to produce roughness, adjusting the wave folder depth to add complex overtones, and using overdrive to adjust the distortion. In this way, you can generate distinctive sounds from this sound engine that's structured rather differently from a typical drum machine.

    Once you've specified the sound, you can adjust the balance of the parts by modifying the timing at which steps are heard, the pan, the gain before mixing, and the effect sends.
