- Help support my channel on Patreon: / random_noise I've made a short review and tutorial about the Korg Volca Nubass.
I really enjoy this little guy so far, specially the sequencer but it sounds great as well.
As I've mentioned in the video, here are links to some jams I've made with the Volca Nubass and Electribe 2:

Thank you for this..
Review & tutorial -- I just bought this because you answered all of my questions I had to make that decision.. cheers friend ..
Glad it was useful and congrats on getting it, it is lots of fun!
Not only great music but great reviews and tutorials, I’ve been eyeing the nub add so this was helpful.
Thank you so much for watching and kind words! 🙌 I'm glad it was useful. The Nubass is my first Volca and I am very pleased and impressed by this little machine. I say it is first also because I am really holding myself from getting some of the other Volcas! lol
@@RandomNoiseMusic I can’t believe you don’t have more! Some of the volcas are so much fun and capable of great sound manipulation. The sample can add what the E2 lacks when it comes to sampling and I love my E2!
This is an absolutely fantastic tutorial. It really helped me dial in the LFO.
Thank you and glad to know that it is useful! 😊
@@RandomNoiseMusic I need some help, I have the Sample2 (Master) Nubass (Slave) & Keys (Slave) ..Anyways there setup correctly but the nubass & keys play somewhat faster than the Sample2 not sure whats going on ..Any ideas? Or is it a setting im missing hidden under the Function button?
Hey, you need to change that in the global settings. If you looked at the manual this is under the sync input/output uni (#8). Do you have the manual? you can see it here: cdn.korg.com/us/support/download/files/cbf3490d918940101e3298eddad56c20.pdf?response-content-disposition=inline%3Bfilename%2A%3DUTF-8%27%27volca_nubass_OM_EFGSCJ1.pdf&response-content-type=application%2Fpdf%3B
My confidence in this tutorial became clear at 10:25 it really speaks to me ;-)
Cool addition for the e2!
Thanks for the tutorial. I just picked up one of these today and enjoyed seeing what you can do with it.
Thanks so much for watching, glad it was helpful! 😊
Thanks! Great tutorial!
Thanks a lot! A very good review and tutorial!
Glad it was helpful! 😊
Great video man, really helpful, exactly what I needed to get me started with my volca!
Thank you so much for watching and i am really glad to know it was useful! 🙏🙌
@@RandomNoiseMusic it really does help me because I have had an electribe for a while now but I only just got a volca. So your setup is identical to mine, and the fact you explain the cable setup is a real help!
keep the good videos rolling, I subed so I can't wait to see what you have in store for us!
I learned some good tricks here .. thanks man 🍺
Glad it was useful, thanks for watching! 🙏
Love 💘 it, plays well with drum machine...
Keep on jamming positive vibration
It is indeed! Thank you for watching! 🙌
Very informative. I'm going to go buy one immediately. I'm glad I found this before I bought a Behringer TD-3. Even though the TD-3 sounds great, and exactly like the original 303, it also inherits the design flaws of the famously bad sequencer on the 303. The Nubass is the best in all categories. And it even has swing. It will one day rule the world.
Glad I could help! I don't know about ruling the world, but it is indeed a lot of fun! 😄
Nice one thanks
🙏
i think you may forgotten to mention one of the coolest features of this unit and it is the ability to do chain patterns!
You are right! And I have covered it here after that:
How to chain patterns on Korg Volca Nubass
czcams.com/users/shortst_8D2zBPXF8?feature=share
Also you can chain memory Paterns together. I think Its Done by holding memory And than taping or sliding memory parts.
One thing that I can't figure out, if you are programming step by step, you can't hold a note right? You can only hold a note if you program it with active record?
thank you for a nice and easy demonstration,,i bought these adaptors, you can change the voltage on,for my volca units. but still i have the batteries in? that must be wrong-..right?
Thanks for watching, glad it was useful! 😊 I think if you are not using it with the batteries it is always a good idea to take them out and only put them back when you need to use it on the go or without the adaptor
I own this Volca Nubass and was wondering if anyone else find it doesn’t cut thru your mix? And I don’t mean it’s low voltage headphone output.
It does need some extra help, I’ll usuealy throw a compressor, overdrive or both on it beside sending it to a delay or reverb
Sequencer is a lot more intuitive than the 303. I like to jam and I feel my TD-3 is not conducive to immediate jams. Already put it up for sale so I can grab one of these!
The sequencer on this one is 🔥
Thanks for watching! 🙌
Do you know if the headphone socket works properly if you plug in a mono jack?
Seems like a waste to use a stereo mixer channel for something that's mono.
Yes it does, the Nubass is mono not stereo. I'm using a mono jack to connect it
Hi, it is possible to combine patterns and switch between them while playing?
Yes, you can either switch between them or chain them
hey, can anyone help me figure out if we can chain patterns in this volca?
Yes, you can. In the same way you select the pattern when pressing the memory button, just select one pattern and hold it while you extend to the last one you want to be in the chain. So for example if you select 1 press it and then press 4, the chain will cycle through 1,2,3,4 & back to 1.
Made a quick video for that :)

Man pls how to import samples to paterns what i need ??
What do you mean by import samples to patterns? There is no way to do that on a Volca Nubass, but I think there are some software or plugins that can convert audio to midi. I think Ableton Live can do that too if I am not wrong
@@RandomNoiseMusic thank you man
