    The volca keys is a must-have. The only thing I wish it had is a built-in rechargeable battery.

    I'm building a volca 'keystation' consisting of 2 volca keys and 2 arturia keysteps in a 2 tier 'organ' style through a mixer w/reverb in a specially designed case.

      @@ramseydoon8277 because I'm going to play it live as a keyboard with my band. The idea is that I could play a chord on one keyboard and a monophonic lead on another, or a fat bass on one keyboard and an arpeggio on another. or both volcas in poly mode for pseudo 6 note polyphony. You get me. A click will also be sent to the drummer. I'm halfway through making it.

      @@ramseydoon8277 well making the case isn't too hard its the tray which all the bits go on which is tough because all the measurements have to align correctly for everything to fit snugly. I'm making it out of plywood and neoprene and covering it in speaker fabric. I've made 3 other cases before in that style, all by hand. It will be big and heavy though. The thing is, it's primary purpose is to be a double synth but it also will act as a 'hub' for powering and mixing of additional external hardware too. All of the the wiring (audio, power and midi) will be pre-connected and will be hidden in the recesses under the second keystep tier so that all you need to do is turn the machines on and connect your main outs from the mixer to a main mixer, amp, etc.... and you're good to go. I'll probably make a video overview of it when it's done.

    Very nice informative and inspiring video my friend. I have every Volca except Bass & Beats. I love the way you interacted it with that reverber. Don’t think I’ll ever get rid of my Volcas because technology continues to change. Thank God for midi capability. You have earned my sub. 👊🏾👍🏾

    Perhaps another 10 years will reveal that there's actually something quite special about the volca keys. It has character.

      Keys and Drum are the best. The Nubass would be amazing if only you could slide all 16 steps. Super disappointed in that.

    This was a really enjoyable video. I already own the keys but this was an invigorating watch.
    I think the keys is held back in many eyes by its keyboard if I'm honest. I'm glad it's there but with it I feel people see the keys as only another volca. A quick disposable thing. I think it's a bit more than that. Attach a controller and it's got a really great sound and becomes such a powerful little instrument.
    Though I also love that it has a keyboard :D

    If you guys have any of those fancy small form factor 500 series modular recording/mixing consoles like from tree audio you should make a video filling it with nothing but 500 series effect pedal insert modules and make a crazy guitar pedal synth out of it.

    • @midichlorian73
      @midichlorian73 Рік тому

      500 is something that we've never discussed. Could be a fun vid, but we currently don't support the format.

    Sounds great through guitar pedals especially bass guitar pedals that let the bass fundamentals through better (chorus, distortion, envelope filters ✉️ etc) get a 3.5mm stereo to 6.3mm mono jack and you're good to go 🥰

I am not even the world wide web, because as I say, am a person, not software and data files. That aside, thanks for the video.
