There's a really cool function on the LFO you missed, if you hold the FUNC button down while turning the RATE knob, you can sync the rates to the tempo and increase or decrease the frequencies in steps so they always match.
Thank you. This video helped me create some amature Ambient today. At first I could not save a sequence. Untill I deplugged the sync cable.. linked to another Korg Volca (keys).
I'm just blown away by the plethora of affordable TB-303 clones that hit the market while I wasn't looking. What a time to be alive! My inner 20-year-old is squirming with delight. I agree with another commenter: your deep dives are the best.
Yo, this is actually very useful. I've been getting good sounds out of the Volca Bass but no idea "how" basically. And now I know the how, especially the step recording and active step stuff which bothered me a lot. Btw, for anyone reading this, run it through a delay/reverb and overdrive pedal/effect, it will completely transform this little bass synth!
Wow, i didn't expect this one. Volca bass is a little monster, even with a midi out. Funny sequencer. With a erica fusion box sounds like a modular beast
Your videos are great! Thank you so much for your meticulous work. I have a question about chaining sequences. Kinda like what Korg introduced on the Volca Sample 2. I know it's a lot to ask on an already feature-packed unit, but how do you go about creating longer sequences? At the moment I just create loops in my DAW. It would be the ultimate if you could achieve this on the unit itself.
Step mode will read all 16 steps but make a silence on those not lit. Active step will not make silences because it goes over ONLY the ones that are lit. It allows for polyrhythms i.e. 7 steps going in a loop vs a 16 steps sequence.
The raw oscillators on this one are not very nice. Volca drum & FM are fantastic. This could be because they are digital and digital is usually more value for money. 3 analog oscillators at that price point won't give you a very nice oscillator core. The rest of the signal path does what it is supposed to do but the main ingredient is a tough piece of flank steak.

Your tutorial videos are the best on UA-cam! Keep them coming, much appreciated! Please make one for the Volca Beats 🎉
This is it! My favourite Volca! Nasty 3 vco! and attack EV.

i 've just bought it and this video really helps me to understand this little big toy... Very clear explanations thanks so much
I just received my Volca Bass and I watched your video, it helped immensely! Thanks!
The Cutoff EG Int was always a bit of a mystery to me, your guide explained it in a concise, easy to understand, no-nonsense way. Thanks a lot!
great tutorial -- love it--

One of the best dives into volca. Keep it up
Hey man. I gotta say from the day I first got the t3 and rd6 to all my volcas. Your deep dives helped the most
A first class tutorial !
Thanks you helped me understand this powerful little gadget. I shall come back to this video to learn.
Best part at 6:34 - “BECAUSE I LIKE IT!”
The Bass is my favorite Volca, and your video about the device is now also my favorite.
Nice keep it up 🎉
best walk through
Stunning video man. Clear and straight forward. Thank you! 🙏
Omg THANK YOU for making a tutorial that I could follow. This got my further in my understanding than any other tutorial has yet ❤
Thanks so much for this, your deep dives are fantastic. It would me amazing if you could do one for the Volca Keys
Great tutorial! Subbed! :)
Gracias !
Thank you, again!!
Quality content thanks!
Amazing video, thank you!
This is awesome! Now please do the Volca Keys
Thanks!

good video, thank you
At minute 24: The vco dubbing on each other is apply for dustep when there is a wobble bass crawling in the back the high bass dance on above.

Try elastac bands around the knobs.
can you make a video of how are the conections, midi, audio, interfaces, pc etc.
Can you do a tutorial on the Microkorg?
How a bout Roland MC 707 ? Plz walkthrough tutorial for it ! Thanks
I am confused, what is the Slide function doing?
Can you help contacting it to Reason 11.
What about one in Korg volca FM
How do I keep a note sounding all the time? (hold the note)
Is there a way to sequence internally in more than one octave? For example a C3 and a G4?
Hej! You can do it via a MIDI controller or by turning the octave knob while playing the keys
I don't see the difference between Step Mode and Active Step. They both do the same. What am i missing?
Step mode will read all 16 steps but make a silence on those not lit. Active step will not make silences because it goes over ONLY the ones that are lit. It allows for polyrhythms i.e. 7 steps going in a loop vs a 16 steps sequence.
