Korg Volca Modular

The Volca series will therefore be enhanced with a small semi-modular synth with eight modules and 50 patch points, the Volca Modular.

The modules of the Volca Modular are connected to each other by the patch cables provided, allowing a wide variety of combinations. The compact chassis of the Volca Modular offers 50 patch inputs and outputs. These are color-coded for easy visual recognition, and signals are also marked with symbols to indicate audio, control, gate or trigger. In principle, each signal is connected according to its use, but on the Volca Modular, the signal levels are universally compatible between the modules, multiplying the number of patch possibilities.

The inspiration of the "West Coast style" in a Volca format

The "West Coast style" synthesis consists of starting from a wave low in harmonics (a sinusoid for example) and adding frequency modulation and distortion (or wave shaping in English). Starting from analog and freely integrating all elements, including FM and PCM, the volca series is close to the "West Coast Style" trend.

Twenty patch cables are included, as well as a reference sheet explaining each connection point and providing examples of standard connections.
