Hi, welcome to the video on basic setup of the Korg Volca keys
Videos not for people that are experienced.
It's for basically people that don't even know what an analog synthesizer is
You know, I really just myself
Started learning a little bit about them last week
after purchasing an analog since I
Understand the attraction to the device now, whereas most modern synthesizers
Basically play samples of pre-recorded sounds
An analog synthesizer you actually create the sound using discrete
electronic components that originally
Made the sound so it's not a sample.
You're [N] creating sound itself.
So it's truly an instrument
So start up basic setup.
We turn it on.
There's been a lot of videos done about the Volca keys, but
Oftentimes people jump right into the middle of
Complicated setups.
There's not a lot of talking a whole bunch of knob turning without any explanation
of even how to make a basic sound so I thought at least
Try my hand at [F] a video.
So I have the volume set here at about 3 quarters
Most important thing is that we add
some
VCF which is voltage controlled low-pass filter
[F#m] You can hear a little something the [G] reason that we don't hear much is because we'll need on
[C#] the eg some
Decay release and certainly some sustain for the sound [B]
and hear a little something there now
Turn the VCF up higher
Apply a little bit more voltage
So notice when you press the note that it hits pretty hard we can
Soften the attack by turning this knob a little bit.
I think I'd like it about right there
Now [Fm] if you want to give some depth to the sound we'll add some
time
And a bit of feedback.
It's similar to reverb
[G] now.
We have the basics we can start messing with the
LFO or the low frequency oscillator
Find there's a distinct relationship between the [B] LFO and VCF
so in order to get the LFO to
Act on the signal and we have to turn the VCF
[E] looks like we have to send some of the
Effect of the LFO
Through to the [D#] EG.
That's what this int means.
[E] You're sending it to the envelope generator EG
[B]
so it's an oscillator so the
frequency oscillates
And down and it changes with
Turn of the button
So actually as a basic I like the
VCF turn turned up quite a bit and
The LFO down it gives you a pretty clean sound [D#] so you can set this to
octave and
I like it on fifths.
[F] That's about it for the basics
[E] Any comments put them in the box below if you liked the video just give it a thumbs
