This sounds like the 80s movie of my dreams…

[@neonpop80]

It's always exciting for me to find a demonstration of these nice instruments. A really nice way of presenting its character

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thank you.

[@andychase5213]

Absolutely superb, perfect demonstration of what can be achieved with these two amazing inexpensive instruments.

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thank you very much.

[@mastaslash880]

This is dope

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thank you

[@valdiskrebs566]

Really nice sequence on the Monologue... like how easy it is change the sound with just a few simple knob twists & switch flips. The Volca Keys is a nice drone machine... goes deep. Was thinking of selling my Volca Keys, but will keep it for the dronzzzzzzzzz.

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thank you. The Monologue has the advantage of having a preset memory, but also nice-feeling controls for tweaking the sounds manually. Some 'preset' synths have horrible controls.

[@michaelgross9654]

Sehr kreativ mit nur 2 Synths live einen so schönen Ambient Track zu produzieren

[@DreamsOfWires]

Vielen dank.

[@petergazdag3020]

Man such a nice sound from the Volca!

[@D0hG]

issa vibe

[@strongocho]

yo, I have been on the fence for like 3 days with a monologue in my shopping cart... this video is the reason I am pulling the trigger. this was fire.

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thanks for telling me, that's great to know. I hope you enjoy the Monologue.

[@strongocho]

@@DreamsOfWires I am loving it, I played with it for about 8 hours last night and made like 5 patches that blow anything I have ever made in software out of the water. I still do not have an audio interface, so I cannot record and add these amazing sounds into my DAW yet, but just playing with AA batteries and some headphones had me captivated. This is my first hardware synth, and I have never had more fun with an instrument in my life.

[@DreamsOfWires]

That's awesome. Once you get a simple interface you'll be even more absorbed by it. Good luck on your musical journey.

[@aphexon.]

strongocho it's a really powerful mono synth, learn it in and out, interface focusrite or personus good and affordable.

[@basislager5321]

A clear sound...i like it very much

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thank you.

[@Allomerus]

Very cool. Love the sounds you are getting out of the keys. Enjoyed this! :-)

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thank you. I'm still finding uses for the little box after all this time.

Merci beaucoup.

[@lunarlight1]

very nice

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thank you

[@GeorgeSundancermusic]

Nice and playful sequence. I just love the Volca sound you used. The end is different. May be a transition to another track...?
👍

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thank you. As for the ending: I get carried away analog drones. I could probably make an album full of them.

[@alifnor]

You need to do a tutorial on this! Great vid

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thank you.

[@scottswiezy2519]

Awesome! I want to make some vids of my volca performances but I can't get good sound. What are you doing for recording?

[@federicoagudelo5801]

yo I know im not him , but I do have a volca keys , what I do is connect the heaphone out to my audio interface , in cubase then I add son reverb called wider which makes the sound really big and expansive (its also free) then I add some eq to get rid of some on te metallic sounds and also to add a little more bass , finally I use some valhalla reverb o shimmer

[@Mjarms]

Really nice performance ! How did you connect them ?

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thank you, it's just Monologue Sync out to Volca Sync in.

[@75Pollux]

I'm a beginner, I've just bought a monologue and a little PO-12 rythm, later I think I will add a volca keys for a minimal rig. Anybody have a suggestion for a little mixer for connecting the monologue, the volca and the beat box ? Thanks !

[@StevenSclafani]

The BASTL DUDE mixer is straightforward and compact. I've had good luck with the small RUCCI mixers as well. Also if you run the PO-12 into a mono input, consider the Castline 1/8" stereo to 1/4" mono summing cable. I use them on all my Pocket Operators and they sound excellent.

[@joseph-the-seventh]

Are the Monologue and Volca Keys quite similar? (aside from the actual keys of course)

[@F-Andre]

nope totally different

[@epicon6]

F -André Other one is a mono synth, other one a poly synth.

[@inemurii]

Is that reverb/delay from the mono? great stuff

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thank you. No, external reverb.

[@inemurii]

@@DreamsOfWires Ok! Like a VST or stompbox?

[@shakktakult7224]

✌👍👍👏👏💕

[@DreamsOfWires]

Thank you.

[@muriloyamanaka]

Are you using any pedals?

[@ekofuzz]

Hi there ... Great sounds and brilliant ideas ..im guitarist and now im in synth for the First Time....i got a monologue and volca Beats..do you think Will be a Good idea to get Also the keys and mix together? I mostly play space Psych loop...thanks Gabriele

[@macks2025]

YES - there is no such thing as too few volcas 😜. Also it's one of the instrument sets where the sum of them is greater than their total number - they were designed to interact well together.

[@BubbaSatori]

How did you achieve the lighting for this video? It really enhances the atmosphere of this compelling music.
