I love the display of the 4 Volca's on top of your KeyStep. You can play the bigger keys and sequencer and still reach out to all the knobs to modulate 4 sounds. Very nice.
I got lost in the sauce. great job, my friend. My Volca Beats just arrived today. Thinking about ordering a Bass or Sample 2 next. Can't wait to start this journey.
That’s a wonderful sound! The bass pattern, the fm arpeggios, and the keys lead sound fantastic together! I hope your decision about your workflow will be easy for you.
Lovely melody. Tasty building little breakbeat . The volca keys lead sound is magic. You really do outstanding work , your ear for layering complimentary Melody and arrangement is excellent and it is for these reasons why I am audacious enough to dare to say … That a “couple” of times in the last couple of minutes I REALLY wanted you to revisit the bass sequence and change /overwrite a couple of alternate notes into that bass line ..or shorten the seq length..even right at the end … But you did not , and it was not meant to be.
Welcome back, hope you had a good vacation? Sounds great, I know what you mean about sequencing the Volcas externally, I like to with the FM and Keys but the Bass is less satisfying somehow.
You think you could do a video on how you set all the Volcas to the correct MIDI channel? After recently picking up a KSP, i've been trying to control each of my Volcas with it (Drum, Bass, Keys & FM1) and just can't seem to figure it out for some reason. I have all the Volcas hooked up to a MIDI Thru Box with the KSP going to the IN on the Thrubox and for some reason it will only control the FM and none of the others. No idea why, no matter how far down Reddit rabbit holes I go lol. Pls help. 🥲🥲🥲
How on earth did you get the sample 2 to let you use in that manner w the keystep pro ? I cannot get it to let me play each individual drum part on the drum channel of my KSP
So you don’t need to have the Volcas synced together when doing this? …I’ve been going about this the wrong way I think 😅 I’ve been trying to go for the same setup except instead of the sample I’m using a Volca Drum. Any shot you could do a video on setting up the midi channels between each volca and the KSP? Please? For my sanity? Lmfao 😅
To setup the volcas midi channel press and hold fuct+record when starting the volca. Expect the drum and sample. There you can setup more midi channels ... Read the manual for this information please. To setup the ksp go the the options -- midi ...
Super gut gemacht!! Ich liebe es auch mit meinen Volcas zu jammen, allerdings habe ich LEIDER nur das Keystep Pro, als ich es gekauft habe, war ich noch ziemlich unwissend und weil Sam (look mum no Computer) es auch benutzt hat, hab ichs gekauft. Ein paar Monate später kam dann das Keystep raus. Ich hab wenig Platz und Keys wären mir lieber als die Pads. Mittlerweile ist das Keystep Pro so extrem teuer, das kann sich ja kein Mensch mehr leisten. Vielleicht nächstes Jahr🤷♂️ . Allerdings hat es letzte Woche mit dem MicroFreak geklappt😃, das Teil erschlägt einen ja schon fast mit seinen ganzen Funktionen. Vor ein paar Tagen hab ich dann auch noch das Mikrofon bekommen. Wirklich unglaublich!! Und das Beste ist, ich bin im Sommer in meinem Garten, hier gibts nur etwas Solarstrom, aber den Freak kann ich ganz einfach an eine Powerbank anschließen, Kopfhörer auf und abtauchen. .. viele Grüße aus der Stadt mit dem Herkules.
Wunderbar was du so schreibst. Ich denke allerdings du meinst den Beatstep Pro. Ein tolles Gerät auch mit Volcas. Haben Slenterende Beer sehr gut gezeigt. ruclips.net/user/SlenterendeBeer .... Zum MicroFreak würde ich dir noch ein NTS 1 empfehlen weil die Reverbs und delays für den Preis unschlagbar sind. Und du kannst weitere Patches Hinzuladen. Ich wünsche dir Jedenfalls viel Spass be Jammen mein Freund.
Cool! And I know what you mean. I am a noob in any way, but when playing with the Beatstep and the volcas, even the long-time-missed-by-me feature to use more than 4 beats in a song feaes like loosing touch with the volcas....
I have 3 volcas (drum, bass, FM2) and volca Mix. Your video is very inspiring. I am quickly limited by the 16 steps. I compared keystep pro and the Sq-64 with each other. I think I will copy your setup. I understood that I needed a Quadra Thru midi and the volca keys seems essential. Question: will I have to give up the volca Mix to take a mixer ?
hmmmm thats a good question. I love my Behringer/Roland Mixer Setup cause I can directly record everything (cideo and audio) into my smartphone ... i think the Volca Mixer is a nice gimmick but at the end ... get yourself a proper mixer and a good reverb pedal (MX 70 CDR for beginning)
@@Volcaniced Der Slave z.B. Volca oder Monologue startet ein zwei Steps später und nach ein paar Takten kommt er aus dem Tritt. Ist auch nicht so tragisch, da man beim KSP MIDI-Clock ohne Start/Stopp senden kann, worum es mir eigentlich ging. Hab ja kein Vintage Zeug. Ansonsten ist das Ding der Hammer.
Check the Video "how i record my Video" in the description. I am talking about the midi hubs i am using. In this Case its the rk006 or the quadra thru...
Very cool! Can I ask you how is it possible to control all 4 Volcas using same controller, as Keystep only has 1 midi out port right? so how do you split that
@@Volcanicedyou do this with a midi thru box and then set each device to the appropriate MIDI channel right? I then have each Volca running into a line mixer that runs into my audio interface. I used to have each Volca running into it, line on my audio interface, but that wasn’t working because my key step only allows me to control my Volca FM, none of the others… No matter what I do with midi. Also, no matter what I do with Settings in my daw and Keystep, I get sound through my headphones out of my audio interface, absolutely nothing, not even a hum out of my monitors. It’s getting very frustrating lol
I dont think they made an older one in the pro series. Its only Keystep, Keystep 37, Keystep Pro. Only the pro version manages four tracks of midi sequence/channel.
@@kirkanos771 i was meaning the keystep original was thinking of getting one they reasonable price .... as in with the midi thru can u control the 4 volcas on the OG or is the pro needed to do it?
Yes you can control up to 16 midi channels with the keystep. But you have not the powerful sequencer. You can play the sequence on the keystep and record it on the volcas directly
Da sag mal einer, dass die Volcas nur Kinderspielzeug seien. Hier wird musikalisch bewiesen, dass dem nicht so ist. Das klingt alles zusammen sehr gut.
Ja das stimmt, Andreas. Danke für dein Feedback. Und dabei hatte ich kaum Vorbereitungszeit. Aber das ist es eben.. mit den Volcas kannst du einfach schnell Mal ein bisschen jammen ... Auch ohne Keystep pro. Wenn es bisschen mehr sein darf nimmst du dir halt den großen sequencer dazu.
I love the display of the 4 Volca's on top of your KeyStep. You can play the bigger keys and sequencer and still reach out to all the knobs to modulate 4 sounds. Very nice.
Yeah that was the intention ... and they didnt fit if I lay them in a row :)
I got lost in the sauce. great job, my friend. My Volca Beats just arrived today. Thinking about ordering a Bass or Sample 2 next. Can't wait to start this journey.
Klasse 👍 . Einfach genial. Der keystep pro ist super und deine Musik natürlich auch!
Das ist wirklich sehr lieb. Danke dir Marco. :)
so volca i have to say, very nice🎼👌
This is how it was meant to be used imho... 🙃 I love my keystep pro: a real powerhouse! 💝
yes you are so right ..... i didnt even scratched the surface
Beautiful composition 👌☮
Inspiring Jam!!!! Thanks For The Post 👍🔊
your welcome
Excellent handling of the Volca Keys 👍.
That’s a wonderful sound! The bass pattern, the fm arpeggios, and the keys lead sound fantastic together!
I hope your decision about your workflow will be easy for you.

But you did not , and it was not meant to be.
Ok I totally understand your feedback. I am so sorry man, that the Bass Line didnt change till the end.
@@Volcaniced it was still great . And I am a huge fan.
You show the power of the KSP! You might have tried recording your bass riff with the drum sequence playing... 😉
Welcome back, hope you had a good vacation? Sounds great, I know what you mean about sequencing the Volcas externally, I like to with the FM and Keys but the Bass is less satisfying somehow.
Really? The Bass is less satisfying?
@@Volcaniced yes because you can't sequence the 3 oscillators independently externally - more satisfying to do it on the box (as you do so well)
Nice set! 🙌🏻😀🤙🏻
Very helpful video.👍
Thank you very much.
Gotta get me a Keystep Pro. It would really help me pull everything together. Great track, really enjoyed it.
The keystep pro is something like a must have for volca users... Great choice 😊
Pretty cool 😎

No idea why, no matter how far down Reddit rabbit holes I go lol.
Pls help. 🥲🥲🥲
Did you check the midi channels of your Volcas? As das as I know the ksp has midi Ch 1 - 4...
Nice bro!
Thank you very much
Really cool. I'm gonna get a keystep pro soon.
Congratz.
They really are worth getting! I am about to get a second one!
How on earth did you get the sample 2 to let you use in that manner w the keystep pro ? I cannot get it to let me play each individual drum part on the drum channel of my KSP
Especially the VS 2 let you decide if you want to play each sample induvidually or not. You can change this in the options.
So you don’t need to have the Volcas synced together when doing this?
…I’ve been going about this the wrong way I think 😅
I’ve been trying to go for the same setup except instead of the sample I’m using a Volca Drum.

Oh yeah
Toll! Hast du mal den Clock out für die Volcas genutzt? Mein KSP spimmt da ein bisschen rum. Hab schon Arturia genervt 😉
Ja habe ich. Stört dich, dass es nicht 100% synchron ist oder was anderes?
@@Volcaniced Der Slave z.B. Volca oder Monologue startet ein zwei Steps später und nach ein paar Takten kommt er aus dem Tritt.

Do you have a video that shows how you got all this to connect and work?
Check the Video "how i record my Video" in the description. I am talking about the midi hubs i am using. In this Case its the rk006 or the quadra thru...
Its the quadra thru you can See it in the left Corner above
Rad thanks!
Very cool! Can I ask you how is it possible to control all 4 Volcas using same controller, as Keystep only has 1 midi out port right? so how do you split that
There are 16 midi channels... So it is possible to add 12 more Volcas to multiply the fun.

sweeet
How did you connect the 4 volcas to the keystep pro?
I used the Quadra Thru MIDI Hub. All Volcas going into the Hub and 1 Cable to the Keystep Pro.
Nice solution, I recently bought a keystep pro and I was wondering how to connect the 4 volcas that I have to the keyboard. Thanks for your reply! 😊
Sounds great! How did you connect the Volcas to the Keystep Pro?
With Midi Cables ....
would this setup work with a older keystep
I dont think they made an older one in the pro series. Its only Keystep, Keystep 37, Keystep Pro. Only the pro version manages four tracks of midi sequence/channel.
@@kirkanos771 i was meaning the keystep original was thinking of getting one they reasonable price .... as in with the midi thru can u control the 4 volcas on the OG or is the pro needed to do it?
Yes you can control up to 16 midi channels with the keystep. But you have not the powerful sequencer. You can play the sequence on the keystep and record it on the volcas directly
Where did you get those colored midi cables? I love them.
I got mine from Thomann. www.thomann.de/de/midi-kabel.html

Привет из России, люблю твои видео
привет дорогой друг Спасибо за визит. Я очень рад, что у меня есть поклонники и в России. Всего тебе хорошего.
Are you use MIDI Quadra Thru or MIDI Quadra Merge?
In this case the Quadra Thru
