The Volca Series offers the ideal introductory synthesizers,
giving you unlimited sonic enjoyment and letting you create a
diverse array of sounds that can only be obtained through an analog
synth. Volca Beats gives you real analogue sounds created with
reference to classic rhythm machines.
Analog rhythm machines continue to dominate the stage, bringing
thick sounds that have the power to stand up to guitar and acoustic
drums, still indispensable for track-making and live performance.
Volca Beats gives you analogue drums, plus the easy-to-use
step-sequencer of the Electribe, so you can turn your inspiration
into reality and generate beats with the best high-quality
sounds.
Volca Beats provides six of the sounds for which the greatness
of analogue shines most clearly - Kick, Snare, Hi Tom, Lo Tom,
Closed Hi Hat and Open Hi Hat. Created with reference to
classic rhythm machines and indispensable to dance music, these new
powerful sounds can only be brought to justice on an analog
machine.
For the sounds that need something more than analog, a PCM sound
engine is used. Clap, Claves, Agogo and Crash are reproduced by
Volca Beats' PCM, which has attention to detail with a rough,
lo-fi '80s sound.
The step-sequencer, distilled from the Electribe, is
designed to make editing easy. Add or remove parts intuitively with
the 16 step keys and play the touch panel keyboard to record in
real-time. Store up to 8 sequence patterns on internal memory.
Use the Stutter Function to dramatically expand your live
performance possibilities by adding drum rolls or delay-like
effects, completely transforming the feel of the pattern as well as
a fill when switching patterns. Active Step function and
Step Jump function generate new beats by inserting or
removing steps, allowing for more dynamic performances.
Connect Volca Beats with the rest of the Volca Series or a
Monotribe using the Sync Jack. A MIDI-in connector lets you
synchronise with other devices, play the Volca from any MIDI
keyboard and send note messages from your DAW.
The Volca Beats analog rhythm machine has a compact size and a
built-in speaker, easily playable any time, anywhere. The ideal
starter-synth.
