| Content | The volca fm is a three-voice digital FM synthesizer that completely reproduces the sound engine of a classic FM synthesizer, and provides compatibility with it as well. The unique volca interface makes it easy to manipulate distinctive FM sounds even if you\'re not familiar with the complexities of FM synthesis. The 16-step sequencer that\'s one of volca\'s features provides new functions such as WARP ACTIVE STEP and PATTERN CHAIN that let you make even more powerful rhythm patterns. |
Intuitive and ultra-powerful volca sequencer
A fun to use sequencer with superb improvisatory potential
The step sequencer is designed for ease of editing and to allow parts to be inserted or removed "on the fly." Use the 16 step keys to enter notes intuitively while maintaining visual confirmation of the timing of the notes in a measure. You can also record your performance in real time.
Up to ten of the sequence patterns you create can be stored in internal memory.
Motion sequencer records and plays back up to 11 parameters
The motion sequence function records your knob movements, letting you add time-varying change to the sound. This is a great way to polish your loops, and also lets you generate highly original live performances. The volca sample is able to record all knob movements that are related to sound editing. This allows sophisticated editing that had been impossible for hardware samplers of this category.

Analog Physical Modeling Engine with multiple synthesis and oscillator types, Each oscillator type has flexible LFO and ADSR routing plus unique Texture and Mod controls that work as follows:
Multi-saw
Texture, control adds sub-oscillator
Mod, layers multiple sawtooth waves
Pulse
Texture, changes pitch of 2nd square wave
Mod, change pulse width
Oscillator Sync
Texture, changes pitch and tone of OSC2
Mod, sets pitch change amount
Ring Modulation
Texture, changes pitch of OSC1
Mod, changes pitch of OSC2
Frequency Modulation
Texture, sets Modulation amount
Mod, changes pitch of the Modulator
?Onboard effects processor with five types add depth to your sound
The effect types are: OFF (effect bypass,) Delay, VCM Phaser, VCM Chorus/Flanger and Distortion
?8-note polyphony allows complex chords and pads or switch to mono Mode for fat synth bass or solo leads

| Not only on the outside did he gain weight, also his inner qualities have seen a remarkable step-up: besides the virtual-analog synthesis and the classic wavetables it now sports a whopping 60 megabytes of sample memory.
Just imagine to add a vocal-like noise spectrum to a typical Wavetable pad, spice-up a virtual-analog solo sound with a strong attack sample or just process any other sample with the countless oscillator and filter modulations.
Play your sound creations on the high-quality keyboard with velocity and aftertouch. Pitchbend and modulation wheel are at your disposal and, as a matter of course, you can connect a sustain pedal.
All this is packaged in a sleek metal enclosure with a big graphic display, endless stainless steel rotaries and an internal power supply.
