Chris you are one of the first persons who are actually making musical stuff with the volca Modular :-) I got instant inspiration and boy does it sound lovely with the NTS as a feed into the VC. I always used it the other way arround! Thanks for this.
Thanks very much. Yes the Nts1 can do some great things and I know a lot of Volca owners bought one. I've been mostly using it for FX but I had a bit of a eureka moment a few days ago I decided to explore it this way round, it's capable of so much, great fun 😁
I think he's just about talked me into wanting a Korg Volca Modular for the first time. I guess I didn't remember or realize that the CV in could be an audio in. Quite fascinating. Mostly what we hear from Volca Modular demos is that horrible tin can sound, so this is quite refreshing.
Thanks man. I'm slowly working on a patch collection video for it which will show what it can do. It'll include all the patches I've been using in my videos and a few new things
Can't express how fucking awesome it is to see something like this. Been struggling to love to my Modular as much as the FM and videos like this keep the spirit thriving. Cheers!
Thank you, glad to help 😁 The Modular certainly has the steepest learning curve of all the Volcas I own but it can do some really interesting things when you get to know it.
This is amazing! I just got my volca modular, I thought I could only use the cv for pitch or gate, something like. I had no idea I could add external sources in like that! SO many possibilities! Great video!
Yeah it's pretty cool. Just recently I've been triggering my Bastl Kastle Drum using the Volca Modular sequencer and then running the audio from the Kastle into the CV in and then through the LPGs so I can shape the sound even more. Loads I can do with that 😁
If you take the volca kick, turn the volume to the max and turn the drive to the max you get a very ambient noise that you can also filter with the tone knob
The options get better and better throughout the video, and the nts-1 made some great noise with the modular. I don’t have either, but seeing the possibilities is inspiring. That Murder She Wrote reference came out of nowhere! Really funny.
Thanks man. Yeah it turns out the Nts1 is a bit of a monster when it comes to noise, so many options. Glad someone got the Murder She Wrote gag 😄 I'm not quite at the stage in my life when I need that much soft focus!
I was mesmerised by your collections of synths and your obvious depth of knowledge…went to your channel about page, found your band camp…. Pressed on a random album track - in heaven…. Was the track at the beginning of this video one of yours too? All sublime stuff when artists actually understand sound theory and the tools they use 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
Ok addendum- feel like an idiot as I just found your podcast with your Sonicware Liven demo… you don’t just have the tools, you MAKE THEM 🤦♀ absolutely amazing 🤩 I have recently been looking at the Smpl Trek as a new acquisition- had no idea Sonicware made that !!
Ha thanks very much 😁 I should probably get round to adding some more music to BandCamp but I quite like just making jams for UA-cam. The intro music you mentioned is one of those that uses the technique I talk about: ua-cam.com/video/1HvP5lbofGc/v-deo.html Well I don't really make them, Sonicware has to take the credit for that! But I do quite a lot of work with them nowadays on the sound design side and tutorial side of things which is pretty interesting stuff
Thank. Yeah the Nts1 is an incredibly useful little thing to have around for dawless jams and the like. I've been thinking about making a low pass resonant filter that would work with the Modular, that would take is a bit too
Love it. Great videos Chris, plenty of inspiration here. I didn't think to plumb audio via the CV input. Gonna have a crack with a VT4 running though the NTS1 and into the volca and see what emerges. Also currently using the bastl kastle with it, nice combo.
I know im late as shite but does the cv trick work on all the volcas? Im in a busy loud rude space so i can hatdly hear but this is awesone. Have the kick i was gifted now after this, modular on the way. Super thanks and good vid! Well done sir. Jam it! :)
No sadly the CV in trick only works on the Modular. Hope you enjoy it, plenty to explore. I've made some other videos about it exploring the deeper side of things
@@ChrisLodyMusic I appreciate ya brotha. I'm gonna drive into your stuff as soon as Amazon gets here in the morning. My old ass would forget all that over night:) Super stoked by this vid already. Bout time to try some outdoor jams. Preciate your reply and have a bad ass one.
I just got mine, and after I guickly and easily found the sounds I wanted for a conventional use of it, I started experimenting with ways the VOLCA MODULAR can be used as an effect for my guitar. A reverb for example is the simplest. Now I'm searching for ways to use it as crude kind of SLICER. So you made some connections here I didn't think of. THANKS!
Thanks. You can't plug a mic in directly but you can do the voice technique that is shown with the cassette Walkman connected if you amplify the mic up to line out level first via a mixer.
Really cool tutorial especially using the NTS-1! I've just built mine yesterday and hope to get it connected to the computer for some custom sounds this evening or later this week. I was wondering whether you knew or could recommend any custom specifically white/pink noise based oscillators for the NTS-1 (Preferably free)? Thanks so much in advance and keep up the great tutorials!
Thanks very much. To be honest I only thought about the potential of a custom oscillator to produce noise as I was making this video, but I thought I'd keep things simple and stick with the stock Nts1 options. So it's something I've not looking into yet but I'd be surprised if there isn't something free available that will do it. I made a tutorial on loading some free custom content to the Nts1 by the way if you need it
@@ChrisLodyMusic No worries and thanks for the quick reply. I thought it'd be cool to be able to put the noise through the envelopes/delay in the NTS-1 for some drum synthesis options, so I'll have a look around and see if anyone's come up with a custom job like that. I've actually got that tutorial you mentioned pinned on Chrome at the moment! Great stuff and looking forward to putting it to good use. Thanks again :)

work of genius. thank you for sharing.❤
Thanks for watching, have fun 😁
Genial, gracias, esta linea mas experimental_ruidos
me interesa aprender con Volka
If you take the volca kick, turn the volume to the max and turn the drive to the max you get a very ambient noise that you can also filter with the tone knob
Thanks bro love hearing new tricks. The Volca Kick is a beast😊
Love the radio noise/voice trick. Thanks
Thanks very much 📻🎹
SICK!! thanks mate.
This is incredible
Thanks 😁

Oh wow thanks for the great insights. I just had my first play with my new volca m , and this has me quite thrilled. Cheers.
You're welcome, hope you have fun 😁
Superb Chris. I’ll be giving all of your suggestions a try. 😃👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks, have fun 😁
Thanks for the vid! Really cool and inspired way to get more out of the Volca Modular.
Thank you glad you like it, have fun
Thank you for another Video full of science Chris. This is awesome.
Just a little something I've been cooking up in the lab 😄 Thanks for watching
very cool. Thank you.
No problem
Wow, this is awesome!
Thank you 😁
Thanks. Some great ideas. I really like my Volca Modular, so it's nice to get those extra sound sources.
You're welcome, hope you have fun playing around with these ideas
Wooooahh I had no idea this was an option! Thanks a lot for making this
You're welcome, hope you find it useful
These vids are great! Clear descriptions, pitched at just the right level. Thanks :)
Thanks very much, glad you liked it 😁
Very useful, especially the NTS-1 info.
The Modular often sounds too bright, so this has really expanded it's uses for me.
Thank. Yeah the Nts1 is an incredibly useful little thing to have around for dawless jams and the like. I've been thinking about making a low pass resonant filter that would work with the Modular, that would take is a bit too

Oh nice, the VT4 looks like an interesting bit of kit. Have fun
Bloody well brill, mate! And fun. Really useful and creative. Can't wait to try some of these myself - and yes, have the NTS-1 as well. Thank you.
Thanks very much. Yeah have fun, they work really well together 👌
That’s so creative. ❤
I know im late as shite but does the cv trick work on all the volcas?
Im in a busy loud rude space so i can hatdly hear but this is awesone.
Have the kick i was gifted now after this, modular on the way.
Super thanks and good vid!
Well done sir.
Jam it! :)
No sadly the CV in trick only works on the Modular. Hope you enjoy it, plenty to explore. I've made some other videos about it exploring the deeper side of things

Super stoked by this vid already.

It and the kick outta be a time stealer in itself. Super stoked and ready. :)

incredible radio trick!!! i love your video !!!
Thanks very much, I'll keep making them 😁
Interesting stuff. Can the KVM be configured as a ring modulator for a microphone (to do Dalek/Cyberman voices)?
Thanks. You can't plug a mic in directly but you can do the voice technique that is shown with the cassette Walkman connected if you amplify the mic up to line out level first via a mixer.
whoo hoo! Nice techniques
Thanks man 😁
@@ChrisLodyMusic oh, and a typo in the title :D forgot to mention while I was watching
Oh yeah, well spotted. Thank you I'll fix that 😁
good demo . ? grittier noise with AM band? i have 3 volcas but not this one...thought about getting it, but got a B.Neutron instead.
On the devices I've been playing with I've been getting a lot of interference on the AM band so I've not used that much
Nice experiment .
Thanks 😁
Korg Monotron Delay shuld be great noise source and feadback loop at once... hmm.
Ooh I'll have to try that
I now have the confidence to tell my wife “no” next time she asks me to get rid of my old iPhones
Ha yeah I know the feeling 😁 I'm a bit of a tech hoarder if I'm honest, if there's a chance it can be used for making music it ain't going anywhere 😄

Is the phone looping the White Noise on play mode..?
I think it's just a really long recording of noise so it probably is looping, but not in an annoyingly obvious way
I see..
Bloody hell! :D
