Not quite an unboxing, We couldn’t wait… But a preview, please leave your questions below for the full review when I return from holiday. We will try and answer them when we do the full revierw.
Awesome
I want them all 😀
Is it possible to choose what MIDI channel the Volcas receive on, or are they omni?
You can choose the channel on the keys for sure – don’t know about the rest
Yes you can choose the channel on bass and keys and I think beats. Korgs manual and midi channel sheet are on the website. I dont really understand it as I don’t use midi to that extent but gearslutz forum seemed to look on the options favourably.
Does it same noisy as monotribe?
Lucky to have owned the Volca Bass for a little while now. And i am
loving the whole experience very, very much. So much so (i am a little embarrassed to admit) that i have asked my Volca Bass to marry me. Bessie (as i’ve named her) hasn’t said “yes” yet. Actually, we have a bit of a language “gap”, since she only speaks in waveforms. But we don’t need to speak at all, and understand each other perfectly. Each note is pure bliss. I am sure we will be very happy together for many years. The wedding (hopefully) will be next year, and we’ll register for the bridal shower at Analogue Haven. We thank you for your open-mindedness about this admittedly unusual relationship. : )
I can’t wait to add these to my setup. I would love to know a bit more about the sync. is it just a gate in? wish these sent out cv
The mod for midi out is pretty simple apparently, expect to see kits soon.
OMG…I want them all…..Thanks Korg for listening to your customer base!!

User guides on Korg website will answer some questions.
how many of us were asking for analog electribes for so long now? nice that korg finally decided to listen!
i wonder if they will ever step up and do a new full-size poly analog keyboard?
Looking forward to the full review. Sonic State is one of the best for in-depth info.
Keys= filthy
Beats and bass= cheesy and thin
