that deep house jam was sweet!
Thanks!!
Absolute banger at the end
lovely walk through here, thank you
OG one every time: I put an 808, 707 (sorry, 909) and DMX drum kits on 3 of the pattern slots, leave the other 7 for making loops and other nonsense. If you think about it, this is the only really ‘original’ Volca, the rest just recreate extant things.
Thanks for the comment! :)
You think a volca sample would be good as a drum machine to record demos with ? I plan to load in old kits like a cr 78 and a linn to use as backing beats on cassettes
@@johnrodriguez5872 Probably, no reason why it shouldn’t be good
Excellent informative ty
Thanks!
Goodn Adam, this was a fantastic journey through the Samples 1+2 🙂 We will see us soon, bye 🙂
Thanks! See you soon! 👍
Adam, thank you so much for the guide for korg sample, thanks to you I learned about the song mode! Do you have any plans to make a guide for loading long loops, for example, in the style of jungle or drum and bass?
Thanks! Yes, next deep dive episode will actually be on drum n bass!
thx for "song mode" on volca2, did not know about it :)
That was a very good video.
Thanks! 😊
well done!
Thanks! 😊
Thanks for this precious review! So you confirm that the Pajen firmware works on the Sample 2 ? Apparently Noone has ever tried! LOL
No, sorry. Unfortunately Pajen firmware does not work with sample 2, only with sample 1...
Just got ahold of the Sample2 myself and learning how to integrate it into my current setup (Electribe MX and TD3) and this was super helpful! I don't suppose you have any recommendations for a mixer or interface that would work with all 3 machines? Awesome t-shirt btw
Thanks for the comment! I use a regular analog mixer when I record my volcas. What is important to have to ensure a good mix is that you have individual volume, equalizer and pan for each channel. Also it is very valuable to be able to add fx, e.g. reverb and delay, so best is to get a mixer with build in fx, so you do not have to buy a extra fx unit later. If you do not have a good sound card yet, you should also consider a mixer with build in sound card, that you can connect to your computer via USB. I do not want to give any recommendations, but an example of a mixer could be Uli's: Behringer Xenyx X1204 USB.
@@AdamVoxMusic thank you very much for replying! I've had other people recommend the Xenyx 1202 so that seems like a great shout c:
The reverb is the only thing I don’t like much, but I did change tempo to 10-600bpm. 12pm is pretty nice (12bpm, even)
Nice!
Great video! Is it possible to also update firmware on sample 2 with the audio instead of usb?
I havn't tried it, but I do not think it will work...
Thank you for the deep dive. I do have a maybe stupid question, but can you clear the stock sample and replace them with your own?
O yes you can. And if you regret it, you can restore the factory samples again.
Been waiting this so long‼️🤘
Doubled memory and USB seems great, but you could also upgrade your OG Volca Sampler's firmware to Pagen firmware😁
Then both machines could have their strengths👍
Plus, I didn't know you can sing like David Gehan, Awesome🤘🤩
@@0x0zeroxzero Cool! I actually tried to sound like David from DM! 🤩
Yes, I think it is definitely worth to install the Pajen firmware.
I have the Volca S1 with Pajen, Vosyr and Da Sunlounge vol 2 and now it is way better than the factory one.
Korg better pay you gud, this needs to done more exactly this way!
Nope... no payment from korg.
Can you a Comparison video between the OG FM and the FM2?
Yes, would like to, but do not have the Volca FM2 yet.
❤❤❤
the Pajen FW do work on the VS2 ??
No, Pajen only works on Volca Sample Classic. Sorry for being unclear about that in the video.
Not sure I got that but at 20:22 are you saying that the Paien firmware now works for the Volca Sample NG too?
No, unfortunately Pajen firmware is only for Volca Sample original. Not working on Sample NG. Sorry I was a bit unclear on that in the end of the video.
Hi m8, using quality cables into a decent mixing desk eg Mackie VLZ ,are the Volcas audio outputs quality good enough for a final mix down into a DAW ??
Would be great if you could do a video on getting the best audio quality out of a Korg Volca , ie , audio leads , rf chokes to minimise noise etc...
CHEERS.
Great suggestion! I'll put it on the future episodes list.
What kind of features do you think is missing or if you have any idea of what feature would be great to implement in a sampler?
Anyone is free to comment, any ideas would be a great help
What I really miss in the volca sample and sample 2 is the rec-in! It would be cool if I could just connect and record a loop directly into the volca sample, without having to use the phone or a computer.
@@AdamVoxMusic Ty for the reply , one of the best channels in the CZcams 🙏
The original sample is the winner for me, I don't use Mac or Windows 😂
Then the OG Sample is for you! ;)
Wish there were a big sample2... More Samples, more options
Also some limitations are good for creativity! ;)
@@AdamVoxMusic i know. But need to Backup Mine to start some new stuff because of their limitations
@@VideoJunkXXLI see. sample2 you can backup with the librarian software. Sample OG is however a bit harder... so yes, maybe there is a need for a volca pro series in the future!
@@VideoJunkXXLyou should get the Pioneer Toraiz SP-16. It's like a Volca Sample on steroids
CAAT 😍
Well noted! :)
With the VCS3 you couldn't sample.
