is there a way to pla y like "keyboard mode" if you want to lay down some bass without it being just ONE NOTE in a sequense (like on an electribe 2)??? I would love for it to record realtime tweaking on the knobs, like if you press rec and play and mess around with the pitch knob and it records those shifts. I know it doesnt thou. oh wait....motion sequence mode??

Hi! Well. The easiest way to do is to use the retrokits cable and record both notes and motion sequence. That being, said, I'd recommend you to check out the automation/motion sequence tutorial (episode 3, I think). I hope this helps. Have fun! :)

Hi Philip, so i did something i can't replicate, I used the same part (or the sound of the part) but different parameters in the sequencer. Let's say i used Part 3's sound with 20 Speed on Steps 1 and 5, but on Steps 9 and 13 I used the same sound with different pitch/speed which is 30 Speed. (I don't know at this point if i am using the same part or the sound is replicated to other part) How do I do this? I did it by accident lol

Hi Ramirez. Thanks for your nice feedback. I'm using a 9V center positive transformer capable of at least 1A output at 9V (some models say they can output 1A or even more, but it is only for the lower voltage ouputs). As for the connection to the volca itself, the external diametre of the barrel is about 4mm, and the internal hollow is about 1.5mm. I don't know the exact specs regarding the size of the barrel, but it is commonly found on those universal adapters with multiple output jacks. I hope this helps. Cheers!

is there a way of creating an acoustic sounding, basic rhythm track using the volca? a track that can be used to back basic acoustic guitars and sound natural..... pretty sure there is and am getting the hang of sequencing process slowly but surely. but haven't found anyone using the volca for much other than midi loops....which are great fun but not what I need. any help or links GREATLY appreciated. cheers
@Philipplus

+Auto69Pilot The volca sample is a sample sequencer, and what you are asking for is something along the way of an auto-accompanying or a loop station. You can load samples of individual notes from acoustic instruments and program sequences to make the background for your work, but it takes a lot of work. Even so, because you cannot change the sample on a part in the middle of a pattern, you're stuck with only 10 samples to choose from. You can sample sound loops and play them, but the memory on the volca is too limited: I can put a few 1 or 2 bar loops from my Kaossilator on it and that's it: I have to erase all other samples to make room for them. Also, the samples are downgraded to 33.1kHz sampling rate and converted from stereo to mono, so it will never sound as realistic as an acoustic instrument. What you probably need is a synth with PCM with a good sequencer. I'd say Roland's JD-Xi would probably fit your needs... check Sonicstate's review of it to get an idea of the capabilities. Hope this helps! Cheers!

Hi Fabien. Thanks for stopping by. 9-alt-10 means that parts 9 and 10 are part of a choke group, meaning that triggering one of these parts instantly kills the sound of the other. Having a choke is useful for example for hi hats: put the open hi hat sample on part 10, put the closed hi-hat on part 9 and now you can alternate between both without the unnatural sound of a open hat superposed to a closed one. I hope this helps. ;) Cheers!

Thanks for a great tutorial series, very helpful. I was looking for a specific answer to a question when I stumbled upon the your tutorials but I still don't have the answer. Here it is: When I alter a part and change pattern it can contain a whole other setting for the part. Some times I need the altered part in another pattern but I can't figure out how to copy a part and use it in another pattern. Is that possible at all?
@Philipplus
5 жыл бұрын
Hi yezdk. That is a good question. I usually edit all my parts before I start sequencing, then I just save that first setup onto different memory locations so that I can work on specific scenes. Unfortunately this is the only way the Volca can copy the settings from one memory location to the other. There is no way to copy only one part from one memory location to another. You may achieve something similar to what you are searching for by using an advanced manager for the VSample (for example Voysir), but that essentially implies that you have to program the volca using the computer. I hope this helps. Thanks for stopping by and for the nice feedback. Cheers!
@yezdk
5 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the answer. I've been all around to figure out if it was possible and tried everything in the machine to see if I was lucky to find it. I usually also copy out the patterns but when changing them to create variations in the flow of the song,it is not unusual that an alternation of any part would be better in a previous pattern. Going in to a third party software in the middle of it all will only rarely occur (or never) but I will surely focus on the software in time to come. What I've done so far is written down the settings of a sound on a good old piece of paper and gone into the parameters of the part that I want to copy to :) it's possible and works fine. But it would really have been great if it was possible to paste it directly. And there are really much more possibilities than what is found in the very poor 'manual' or any online tutorial videos I've seen so far. Anyways, thanks for your fine effort to bring knowledge to Volca newbies like me 🙂

Hi +Lorenzo Garofalo ! The Sample data encoder can be used at any time to change the sample of the part you are playing, but you cannot program sample changes (unless you use different sequences and change from one to the other). For chancing parts in step more, you can use the PART > and PART < buttons. I hope this helps. Cheers and thanks for watching!
