Awesome use of Volca! First few secs I was wondering what tool this is! Cool Track!

What are all the mods that you made? Also are you running the custom firmware?

No custom firmware, this is the sample v2, there isn't any available for it as far as I know. The firmware Pajen wrote for v1 is awesome, but I think v2 actually incorporated some of those features, except the chromatic sample triggering, which you can achieve with the Retrokits RK-002 midi cable. As for the mods, besides the cosmetic changes: The toggle switches along the top are connected to the Memory, Mute, and Function buttons. This frees up my hands, so I don't have to hold down the buttons, and makes it possible to leave the sample in a mute/solo or save/load mode. The 4 little buttons are connected to the touch panel in pairs, they trigger the first 8 steps, 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8. This allows me to trigger layered samples with the physical buttons, and mute/unmute samples in groups. It also means I can trigger 8th note divisions in step jump mode instead of just 16ths. The momentary buttons above the analogue isolators (EQ) activate the high and low filters and bypass when released. This makes those knobs more usable in a performance, you can cut them off with a jump instead of having to sweep them back to 12 o'clock. The unit is modified with MIDI out, it's hidden in the back. The kick you hear is actually the Volca Kick, it's receiving the trigger from the Sample sequence. By default the midi note being sent is too high for a kick so I'm using the RK-002 smart midi cable to transpose it down an octave. And finally I soldered clicky tact switches under all the rubber membrane buttons, they feel more responsive.

@@stmaximus the toggle switches for the mutes are an incredible idea! Thanks for the break down. I see V1/V2 on my local craigslist all the time for reasonable prices but i just haven't seen anything Inspiring from them. This video was exactly what I needed to see!

Woah! Dope! Is this fully using the Volca sample? No external fx?

Hey thanks! Yeah it's mostly just the Sample. The kick you hear is from the Volca Kick, but it's receiving the trigger from this sequence, the Sample is modded with midi out. I'm using a little bit of reverb for fills using the KPS2 mini kaoss pad. And the pseudo-sidechain effect comes from the dynamics function on the Volca Mix.
