Compact size, battery-powered operation, and built-in speaker for enjoyment anywhere
Volca Keys is a long-awaited synthesizer that adds a new chapter to the
long and storied history of Korg's analog synthesizers. This 27-key
analog lead synth delivers unbelievably powerful sound in a compact
body. Starting with a filter section that uses the circuitry of the
legendary miniKORG700S (1974), it delivers astonishing sound that takes
full advantage of Korg's half-century of know-how in circuit design.
With a simple structure that includes delay effect and a sequencer, it's
also an ideal choice for a first analog synth. It offers the richly
expressive sounds that are distinctive of analog, providing the
enjoyment of simple yet deep sound-creation. The possibilities are
endless; you can use the three oscillators to play chords, use them in
unison with detune to produce solid lead lines, or apply ring modulation
to create far-out metallic sounds.

Go-anywhere analogue: play anywhere with the built-in speaker and optional battery power
Even today, more than thirty years after the age dominated by analog synthesizers, we just can't let go of the sound of analog rhythm machines. Those thick sounds have the power to stand up to guitar and
acoustic drums, and are still indispensable for track-making or live
performance. The volca Beats gives you those analog drums plus the
easy-to-use step sequencer of the Electribe; it lets you turn your
inspiration into reality and generate beats with the best high quality sounds.
Korg Volca Bass Analog Bass Machine
Powerful analog bass sound creation and an Electribe-inspired sequencer for the ultimate bass lines

Go-anywhere analogue: play anywhere with the built-in speaker and optional battery power
Aggressive sounds that stand up to the drums; fat sounds that support
the rhythm; funky sounds that generate a groove - the volca Bass is an
analog groove box that has what you need for a wide range of bass lines.
Although simple in structure, the analog sound engine has an
unmistakable presence with subtle nuances that cannot be reproduced by a
digital simulation; it's a great choice for acid house and many other
styles of music. The step sequencer distilled from the Electribe is not
only visually intuitive; it's also a powerful way to generate "free
form" bass loops that will stimulate your inspiration.
