KORG VOLCA MODULAR Analog modular synth

The volca modular is a semi-modular synthesizer consisting of independent analog synth modules, digital effects, and a sequencer. Each of the modules has been carefully selected for its stand-alone completeness. The modules are internally connected so that sound can be produced even before connecting the included pin cables, and the routing is shown by white lines on the panel. Module connections via a pin cable take priority over the internal connections, bypassing them.

Highlights:

• Even more vintage sounds, including the KORG SGproX piano, M1 and VOX organs and well-known "Tape" instruments
  
• 128 onboard sounds, plus 640 additional sounds included with the Editor/Librarian for Mac and PC!
  
• New yet nostalgic - black panel "new vintage" design
  
• Featuring MMT - the distillation of Korg's analog modeling technology
  
• Vocoder with included gooseneck microphone
  
• A powerful Kaoss effects engine - the kind of effects that you would expect from Korg
  
• Korg's proprietary Natural Touch mini-keyboard, designed with an emphasis on playability
  
• Battery powered operation is supported for increased portability

Operating requirements
Windows

Supported Computer:

A computer that satisfies the operating requirements of Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/7 and is equipped with a USB port

Operating system:

Microsoft Windows XP SP3 (32 bit), Windows Vista SP2 (32bit, 64bit), Windows 7 SP1 (32bit, 64bit)

Mac
Supported Computer:

An Apple Macintosh computer that satisfies the operating requirements of Mac OS X and is equipped with a USB port and an Intel or Power PC processor

Operating system:

Bass Station II is an analogue mono-synth based on the classic original Bass Station but re-worked for the 21st century. It has two filters, two oscillators plus a third sub-oscillator, patch save and a fully analogue effects section. Add a step sequencer, arpeggiator, full sized keys and a powerful modulation section and you have the makings of a synth that is built for bass, but capable of so much more.
