Korg’s new Volca series is simply befuddling. On the one hand you have three different modules, Keys, Bass, Beats (Drums), that are basically throwbacks to the Roland SH-202, TB-303 and TR-606 respectively, at insanely cheap prices.

Korg's Monotron series/ Monotribe have really helped put analogue back into the hands of those on smaller budgets and as a result of their popularity, Korg is now moving firmly forward with more new analogue-based products.

A deceptively powerful, incredibly good value micro-synth that completes the Korg Volca Trilogy

Finally somebody came up with a tinny synthesizer loaded with nice features for a good price. Doesn't surprise me it's korg. One of the most innovative and price-friendly companies always my favorite. The sound is impressive for a such small unit.

Great sound and functionality. This is one of the oldest models so it doesn't get a lot of love but it can do a lot more than you think if you take the time to learn it. All the volcas jam well together and I definitely recommend this, but get the FM first if you have a tight budget.

This thing packs a major groovy punch, if tuned correctly you can get those super grainy, grungy sounds, all the way to trance style smooth sounds. Super gutteral lows and squealing highs. Built in sequencer is great, the controls all have great action, just enough resistance for me.

This synth is the best that I have found for the price, and it has blown me away with how creative you can be with such a simple synth. I've tried finding cheap units like the monotron delay which is ultimately only good for as an effect unit and getting a dirty noisy sound, but this synth is so...

This is a great little synth. The killing flaw for me is the output jack has an unacceptable amount of noise when you try to record it. I also have the vulca bass and it doesn't have this problem. It might be my individual unit, but after this experience I'm going to seek out higher grade synths.

Got this to dabble in synthesis without spending too much. Great little synth... Not too complex....The instructions aren't very helpful... But there are plenty of helps online for specific questions.

I'm really impressed with this little synth. You can get some fantastic beefy sounds that you'd expect from a piece costing 4 times as much or more. Plus 3 note polyphony...wow! The ring modulated modes are fantastic. Filter is decent.

When I first got it, I hated and nearly returned this synth, but have come to find it very useful having taken more time to learn its strengths. It sounds very good, and the filter and time-based sound shaping controls add quite a bit of versatility.

What's not to like? This super portable, very affordable synth sounds fantastic. This is the first analog synth that I've owned and I don't think I'm going back. This has great range and can easily create massive low end in your tracks or upfront leads.

This is the same review I'd write for the Volca Bass and Volca Beats, they're all awesome, huge range, easy to learn, super fun and most importantly....analog! For the price it is so worth it!
