What a great set of tutorials! For a beginner like me, this is so much more than just a how-to for the Volca Drum, but actually helped me begin to understand how the sounds are synthesised and manipulated. Your calm, clear, in-depth lessons are a breath of fresh air on YT. Thank you sir!
I'm late to this party, but wow, you're an amazing teacher! I haven't bought my Vola Drum yet, but I was hooked by your explanations. (And btw in my opinion your English is awesome.) Cheers from Québec City.
Fantastic tutorial series! You have a wonderful ability to explain and connect synthesis terms with physical sound properties in a very easy to understand way. Thank you so much. This was extremely helpful!
Your tutorials on this have been fantastic. They were slower than l move, but I watched all the way on all three because you were so thorough. I also teach tech to a lot of people, and I learned a lot about explaining to beginners through your methods. Thanks!
Thank you so much for making these tutorials. Such clear rundowns and explanations. I also learned a lot of basics of synthesis while I was here. Really fantastic. I hope you are able to make the next one in this series!
Thank you for this tutorial, very informative and helpful. I recently bought a Volca Drum and Bass and this video took a lot of mystery out of the inner workings of sound generation.
Bro, thank you so much, this was everything I needed! I had little understanding of what it all meant but this explanation has got me confident making sounds now. Legend 🦖❤️💪
Hey thanks a lot for your comment. Choke is a functions that allows (or not) each part to ring into each other. If you have a bass note that rings out (with high release values) it might ring into the next snare drum part and result into a muddy rhythm or harmony. Choke allows you to cut one part as soon as the next begins to play. Try it on some of the factory default patterns, just mess with it and you'll understand it.
This is great, thank you! I had used Oscillatorsink's tool to transfer a patch, but I had no idea you could preview changes to drum parts in real time. I'm sending MIDI from the browser to my USB audio interface, and from there via a standard MIDI cable to the instrument. I'm going to work through the rest of this slowly, with my Volca Drum beside me.
I just can get any sound through a usb midi cable. The part 1 is initialized on channel 1( the volca is also blinking when i use channel 3). But no sounds when following the parameters on the app...
Hey thanks for stopping by. Are you talking about the string/tube wave guide resonator? If so, that effect is not configurable with the sequencer it only feeds into the parts (sounds) that you assign with the send knob. You can certainly combine the sequencer with rhythms coming from the resonator, but there are no sequencer settings for this effect (at least to my knowledge). I will post a new video related to this idea; your comment arrives in good timing. Cheers.

Thanks for your comment it means a lot to me.
You should add the "third" or "III" to the title for clarity that this is part of this series! You're great!
Another excellent tutorial.

Thanks eyedefy, I'm so glad it was helpful.
great tutorial and synthmata is just what all we need. I dont know who to thank more ahaha

Hey I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hope it heps.
USB to midi? omg I thought this wasn’t possible with volca drum!
superb explanation, thank you
Wow the way you explained it! I finally started understanding this stuff after months of watching other videos, thank you good sir!
These are excellent tutorials! Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Súper, gracias.
Thank you very much
Amazing! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for these volca drum videos!! You break it all down easily to understand!
Very good turorial on sound design. I think I just learned the basics in an easy way. Makes more sens now 🙏❤️👍

I'm glad Matthew, please subscribe if you haven't, I'm planning for a very active 2022 on youtube.

How's the music coming along?
@@thisriver pretty well, I've been experimenting with different ways of recording the output of this and the Volca Bass along with some other tools.
El mejor profe de chile!! Saludos cordiales al pulento

лучший туториал по этой вольке, респект тебе мужик. только я так и не понял что такое choke

Happy sound design!
Thank you. I just put the Volca Drum in my closet, I guess I'm plugging it in again.
Yeah, Volcas hate closets. I'm glad I helped to free that poor thing. Have fun!
Thanks so much for this
Any time!
Grazie mille per il tuo lavoro
Cheers mate.
I just can get any sound through a usb midi cable. The part 1 is initialized on channel 1( the volca is also blinking when i use channel 3). But no sounds when following the parameters on the app...
Solved with a factory reset
@@Maitresinh way to go!!
This is good, the actual manual is horrendous to read through.
Hi, do you have any experience with the volca nubass? Thanks
Hey, none. Sorry.
it's a shame you haven't completely covered everything for instance the tube setting on the sequencer
