Korg Volca Keys
This looks at first sight an extremely simple (if not toy -like ) device, but as in many cases looks can be deceptive !When played through the built in speaker it can sound squeaky but the speaker does let you get a taste of it’s six different voice settings and it’s ability to record knob movements ! When it is played through a larger set of speakers it sounds more like the analog synth that it is ,maybe not true analog as all three oscillators use the same filter,envelope etc.It can be connected to midi via the top mounted socket allowing you to play three note chords a lot more easily than using the unit’s ribbon keyboard substituting it for an external midi controller,when in poly mode.The device’s midi socket also enables it to be used as part of a bigger setup as the last in a chain as it has no thru/out sockets (although I’ve seen some mods on e-bay ! )
Overall it has limitations but these force you to be creative and so far I’ve found the step-sequencer,the movement record,the different voiceings and the Volca Keys themselves to be thoroughly enjoyable.
