Sure, we love KORG Volcas as much as the next guy. Being rather small and cheap devices, however, they do have their limitations. In a video from Slenterende Beer, these limitations are ingeniously circumvented. The results are beautiful.
Love your Volca, but lust for a bigger sound? YouTube duo Slenterende Beer has come up with a neat solution involving a trusty four-track.
As users of Volcas like Keys and FM will know, you’re limited to only playing three notes at a time. But multiply that by four tracks on a tape machine? Hello polyphony!
This dreamy sequence is then augmented by routing the tape machine’s output into a Waldorf 2-pole synth, then onto a Thermae delay and Ventris reverb.
