Korg Volca Kick

Analog synthesizer for creating kick drum and kick bass sounds

• Based on the powerful resonant filter of the MS-20
• Wide range of kick sounds
• 16-step sequencer
• Touch FX

After bringing back the classic groove boxes and synthesis techniques of the past, the Volca series focuses on a new target, the most important sound in dance music: the kick drum. The volca kick is an analog generator of kick drum sounds designed for sound design. Its circuitry based on the powerful resonant filter of the MS-20 allows you to create a wide range of kick sounds, from the driest and most powerful kick drums to the most belly kick basses originated exclusively by analog synthesis. Volca's distinctive 16-step sequencer has been provided with a new Touch FX function to instantly manage an effect to enhance the artist's expressiveness during live performances. Discover the power of analog synthesis in producing kick drum sounds that are difficult to achieve with plug-ins or sample libraries.
