Wide Sonic Scope Zero rules. DSP analogue modelling power. The Korg Volca Drum isnt like a PCM-sampled drum machine that focuses on a snare kick and cymbal samples that can restrict your creativity. It uses DSP powered analogue modelling to give you more variety in your sounds. Meaning you can go much deep in your drum sound creation. It is based on oscillators instead of samples. Due to this you can create a wide variety of percussion sounds. Youre not just limited to drums thanks to the DSP process you can create any sort of sound within the limitations of the six parts. The two-layer sound design offers sine sawtooth noise and you can use these three waveforms to create whatever sound you want. Using the wavefolder depth to add complex overtones and use overdrive to give your sounds more impact. The Korg Volca Drum allows you to create your own distinct sound. Rich Resonances Using the Waveguide resonator you can add rich resonances to your sounds. There are two types of resonator styles. The tube setting replicates the resonances of a cylindrical object. Anything from a snare housing to a very long pipe. The strings setting gives you a much more metallic resonance. Control the Decay Body or Tune of these settings and create otherworldly or idiosyncratic sounds with a twist of a knob Simple Sequencing Sequencing your drums has never been easier.
