This video shows how you can control the Korg Volca Sample via MIDI using the RetroKits RK-002 cable.
The RK-002 cable contains an embedded microcontroller, which maps the note-messages from a single incoming MIDI channel to the required ten separate Volca Sample channels.
Here’s a video demo:
The RetroKits RK-002 is available for US $40.
I’ve just purchased one, great product and nice support.
Now I am able to control my Volca Sample with my BSP, yaaaay!:)
very cool. next we need individual outs on the volca sample 😉
Well it’s not analog, so you can’t just hack that, but hey – it has exactly as many outs as the new electribes 😛
sure. and as far as i can tell generally, there is very little (if not no) digital gear coming out that has individual outs since the real MPCs
Hmm, are there any MaxForLive patches or anything that do something similar?
plenty
If you’re on iOS, you can use MIDI Flow to do the same.
care to explain how ?
Oh snap, game changer for me #notenoughsparemidichannels
Retrokits website is dead now !
It’s back now 🙂 I did get one and It’s great.
I have been unsuccessful mapping the re-002 with my midi to usb interface….can someone please help me configure ? I have a roland usb to midi cable what else do i need? Thank you for a novice
