Korg Volca Modular ~ miniature west coast synth

Описание: The Volca Modular is a full featured modular synth, inspired by the west coast (Buchla) style of electronic music creation. It looks like a miniature Music Easel and sounds crazy. The patching cables are breadboard jumper wires and the whole operation is quite fiddly. On the "pro" side, it has the well designed Volca sequenzer, with motions sequencing, different scales, microtonal tuning options, and more. Also a (certainly limited) free patching of the internal components in this miniature form factor is cool. On the "down" side, the two crucial main components (Oscillators and Low Pass Gates) are not ideally designed (limited frequency range for the OSCs, suboptimal tuning of the LPGs).
The sound results are versatile and range from very ugly over a bit less ugly up to somehow pleasant.

Oh and I had to learn that, with its little jacks and jumper wires, it's not the perfect beach companion (unlike the other Volcas).

All sounds are dry Volca Modular.
