Korg Volca analogue synth rangeBuilding on the success of their Monotron and Monotribe analogue units, and drawing inspiration from the recently announced MS20 and classics such as the Electribe, Korg have introduced a new series of battery-powered analogue synths with built-in sequencers. The new series, called Volca, comprises three different flavours of synth, informatively named Volca Keys, Volca Bass and Volca Beats.
All are MIDI syncable to one another and to a DAW, and can also be player via MIDI. More details will follow along with a product video from Musikmesse. I'm sure you'll agree, these new synths look very tasty.
In the meantime, here's a little more from Korg.
Press Release:
Following the Korg monotron, monotribe, and MS-20 Mini analog synthesizers, we now announce the new volca series. It's a new lineup consisting of three units: the volca keys lead synthesizer, the volca bass bass synthesizer, and the volca beats rhythm machine. These units deliver unlimited enjoyment with carefully selected parameters that let you create a diverse array of fat sounds that can be obtained only from an analog synthesizer, and a loop sequencer for intuitively generating phrase performances. You can use multiple units in tandem, or together with your DAW. Battery operation and built-in speakers mean that you can play anywhere and anytime. These are the next-generation analog synthesizers, bringing you the ultimate sounds and grooves with ease and depth.
Availability: September 2013. Price TBA.
