Korg Volca Sample 2 Digital Sample Sequencer

<article id="desc" class="webtext"> <div class="webtext-block webtext-block--mixed-content"> <div> <p>Expanded with double the memory, new sequencer functions, and USB for computer connectivity and sample management, the Korg Volca Sample 2 delivers the fun and freedom of an old-school sample sequencer in a format that's perfect for modern electronic musicians and modular synth rigs. It comes loaded with 100 killer samples that you can tweak, sequence, and automate all on the fly, with cool functions such as reverse, swing, and reverb to keep things interesting. A custom iOS app lets you capture and upload your own samples, and Korg's sync I/O let you combine the Volca Sample 2 with your other Volca and Electribe gear. If you're inspired by turning found sounds into music, you'll love what you can do with the Korg Volca Sample 2.</p> </div> </div> <div class="webtext-block webtext-block--video-content">&nbsp;</div> <div class="webtext-block webtext-switched webtext-block--media-right webtext-block--mixed-content"> <div class="webtext__column webtext--text"> <h3>Top-level controls make sample tweaking easy</h3> <p>Few samplers give you the kind of hands-on control over your sound as the Volca Sample 2, whose matrix of step-programmable parameters includes four sample knobs, four pitch knobs, and four amp knobs. Want to pitch down that clap? Twist a knob. Want to draw out the decay? Twist another knob. How about shifting the starting point? You get the idea. With all of these controls at your fingertips, dialing in the sound you want is incredibly fast and freakishly easy.</p> </div> </div> <div class="webtext-block webtext-switched webtext-block--media-left webtext-block--mixed-content"> <div class="webtext__column webtext--text"> <h3>Simple sequencing delivers sophisticated results</h3> <p>One look at the Volca Sample 2, and you already know it's set up to handle step sequencing like a champ, but that's far from the extent of this clever little sample player's programable nature. While programming each parameter step-by-step may be your style, its motion sequence real-time parameter recording makes automating 11 aspects of your samples in real time a breeze. Pattern chaining allows you to craft longer sequences, and a Start Delay function allows you to delay the timing of any part to create groove and swing variations.</p> </div> </div> <div class="webtext-block webtext-switched webtext-block--media-right webtext-block--mixed-content"> <div class="webtext__column webtext--text"> <h3>AudioPocket iOS app lets you capture samples anywhere</h3> <p>Korg bills the Volca Sample 2 as a sample sequencer, but if you have an iOS device handy, then you can easily turn it into a full fledged sampler via the AudioPocket iOS app. With AudioPocket, you can load samples from your computer via iTunes or record new samples directly to your iOS device, where you can prep them and upload them to your Volca Sample 2 (check out the video on this page). And because the Volca Sample 2 is equipped with a USB port, you can also transfer samples and manage your library directly from your desktop or laptop computer.</p> </div> <div class="webtext__column webtext--media">&nbsp;</div> </div> <div class="webtext-block webtext-switched webtext-block--media-left webtext-block--mixed-content"> <div class="webtext__column webtext--text"> <h3>Korg Volca Sample 2 Compact Sample Sequencer Features:</h3> <ul class="webtext-block--colcount"> <li>An intuitive and powerful compact sample sequencer module</li> <li>USB port for transferring samples and managing your library via computer</li> <li>Loaded with easy-to-access controls that make tweaking samples fun</li> <li>Flexible step sequencer lets you create patterns and chain them into songs</li> <li>Motion sequencer records and plays back automation for up to 11 parameters</li> <li>Add classic shuffle with the Swing function to create more interesting grooves</li> <li>Sculpt samples with the Analog Isolator and the onboard reverb effect</li> <li>Record, manage, and download samples from dedicated AudioPocket iOS app</li> <li>Sync I/O and MIDI in offer easy compatibility with other Korg gear and DAWs</li> <li>Compact size and built-in speaker add extreme portability</li> <li>Operates on 6 x AA batteries or KA-350 power adapter (not included)</li> </ul> </div> </div> </article> <section class="product-specs"> <h2>Tech Specs</h2> </section>
