Amazing tutorial. Loved the possibilities of my little volca sample but had no idea sounds could be pitched to notes. Made me completely rethink how I use my Volca. Thank you!!!
Awesome. We've tried it and it worked. Best select your pad first then press function and then change speed(notes). For if not done right you can delete or loop the whole thing. Great tutorial man! I have the volca since today and i really had something starting with this great vid! Thanks!
Thanks! Great information. The Volca Sample is a great instrument. It's really fun for me to keep learning all the tips and tricks clever, creative people like you come up with.
Thanks for all of your tips&tricks videos which show me some things explained very clearely than the original user manual. I don't have it but Ithink it's like all the others first and second electribe series!!! I just love techno and I'm a little baby in da world of live sessions makers! Sorry for my english but I'm french and my english teacher was always drunk and stoned!! Thanks again Dennis! And let the sound transport you Hugo
Great video! Thanks for sharing The final track is awesome , but can you change the overall note of the secuence? ...in order to create a whole song for example not only a loop? Thanks?
Hey thanks for the sweet tips!! Was wondering what’s your method/philosophy on patterns vs song? Like any ideas for if you’ve used up all 10 patterns? Is there a way to save all the patterns (sample slots, motion seq, part programming, etc) to an external device to be able to swap out patterns?
Michael Swanson Never had an urge to save my patterns on external device, don’t know if it’s possible, these machines was designed as affordable live performance instruments so I’m not expecting versatility of the high budget sampler from that little monster. My philosophy is using Volca’s as midi slave with software or hardware sequencer as Akai MPC for example. You can see examples in my older videos, where Volcas was controlled by Logic Pro and later when I started sequencing theme with the AKAI MPC 1000.
Woah mate, I knew you could do that but didn't know the way ;) I was messing with speed knob during live recording and making the melody right was kind of hard. But you can make scratching sounds doing it my way (for any hh fans out there) ;) Cheers, thank's for the video.
+Solimara Answer is NO. All keys on midi keyboard connected to Volca Sample will trigger sample with the same pitch, but You can try this: ruclips.net/video/US4WeItgurE/видео.html
+Dennis Mozgovoy Thanks, it's amazing the sound you can squeeze out of this thing! I just got mine, I am learning still...I could read the (manual) a thousand times, but I learn alot more watching hands on videos. Your work is certainly helpful Sir, thank you.
Love ypur tutorials. Thx for that. But why don't you press function and the acording step with your right hand than you would have your left hand to adjust the speedknob and wouldn't need to do fingeryoga... I'm so glad i could help:-D
I’m using ears for sure and you’ve noticed that at first I’ve got my melody programmed in the DAW so I would know what I’m doing and Volca Sample lets you tune any sound in a semitone increments with numerical representation so you just know what values represents certain interval from your root note. It’s easy to do just take some practice - like an hour.
When I try to edit only one step like you do in the video by holding it and then adjusting the speed it just turns off and all active steps are edited. In your video the light turns off and on again once you turn the speed knob. Anyone knows what I’m doing wrong? I am in motion sequence mode.
I'm wanting to record sounds acoustically, classical guitar percussion ducks etc etc then pop them into a synth to manipulate them , I thought the Keys would do that but it looks like the sample does this , I wonder if any one could confirm thanks
Hi dennis, amazing video. I have a question for u: u can do irregular metrical patterns like 5/4 7/4 with this? I wanna buy one and i dont know if u can. Sorry about my english and sorry if im not clear
Tomás Castillo Niosi Yes You can create odd time signature patterns, All Volcas pattern length can be adjusted from 1 to 16 steps, Volca Sampler can combine two and more patterns into the songs and all Volcas pattern can be changed manually, so by combining two patterns, A = 16 step and B = 12 steps = 28 (16 + 12) steps divided by 4 (cause we want 4th notes) = 7/4.
A piece of paper, father, ink and a staves, done! Edit: you can do it all in your head as well. Each increment of one (1) will pitch your sample one semitone relative to the original pitch, that simple.
@@Some_Guy_Called_Raven Are we talking about Volca Bass? If so than Volca Bass has a legit sequencer and keyboard, it's straight forward in case of Korg Volca Bass.
does this work to change the tone for ANY samples? I'm confused why it's a speed nob and not a pitch nob that does this... can you break it down for me?
Yes it works for any sample. The original purpose of the knob is to change the speed but using function activates another purpose for it which is to change the pitch.
Hey, I watched the Video all over again, started with clear patterns and clear Motion Sequence, but anytime I hold one pad to change it's speed in Step Sequence Mode, it just gets disselected, resulting in not being able to change the speed. Anyone knows what might be the Problem?
Привет Денис! Буду признателен,если поможешь.Купил данный инструмент,все регуляторы и клавиатура работают и нажимаются,но такое ощущение,что в интсрументе нет звуков заводских.Можно ли это как-то исправить7
Я скачивал аудио фаил с официального сайте korg,с заводскими банками.Подключал,через jack.И при включении,надписать live не меняется,когда я включаю аудиофаил(
crazyFrankyy К сожалению я не могу помочь с этим, в сети достаточно информации на эту тему, уверен и на русском тоже. Разве что сделать туториал на эту тему... в одном из моих видео я загружаю семпл в Volca Sample, посмотри может прояснит что.
+Dennis Mozgovoy Can you tell me how you load samples with the Volca sample? I ask as I having issues with my Volca sample Ok Go Edition!! If I use Headphone out or speaker out via my PC on Volca Sample I end up with the err decod message no matter how low or high my volume levels are. I have disable all apps in the background & any sound card enhancements like EQs ect . Now i'm at loss ...however the only thing my Volca seems to be ok with is my SG6 for loading samples but I would rather use Vosyr on my PC . Any suggestions please ???
Seems like you are doing everything just right, try to use different PC, I'm using MacBook with VOSYR to upload samples but I'm using Mbox audio interface instead of build in sound card. Let me know how it goes pleas.
@ThePc Gamer make sure no other audio is running. and before you upload a pack with vosyr, open an empty vosyr and upload that so the volca is empty adn then upload the vosyr sample pack or wahtever
I am researching this .Certainly te folks at Voice Crystal had a PCM cards for temp use of custom voices so I figure the M!v uploasa 3rd party voices .But the idea for uploading samples to a Korg M1 came to mind even more since I once bought a device called a Frontal Lobe This device added on by Canon Research called the Frontal Lobe unit, was a third-party disk drive sold for use with the M1. Back in the 90's this device had 3rd party sounds and tunes loaded on it . But if the korg has no function for uploading a custom sample , it can be used as a controller with an emulator box .... .Thus bypassing the need "reinvent the wheel "
+Michael Manning Did You try touch (led is go off )and hold - then tweak parameter knob (led is lit back again) ? ...if I get Your problem right... AND! - Firmware v1.3 is required to do this!!!
Yes if you’re still interested in knowing. It has a song mode where you can chain up to 16 patterns. However you can only record up to 10 patterns at once. But if you wanted to do 32 steps, you’d do 2 song patterns together. They loop as well.
Can someone explain me well how shit is done? Does it too fast and I do not know what shit plays to make the notes change, try to do the same but it does not work for me,

out of all the gear i have i find volca sample the most fun
R they worth buying I'm thinking of getting one
+Andrew Crump "out of all the gear i have i find volca sample the most fun"
I have one now thy are sick
i know your secret, you were parte of the Korg engineers that made korg volca sample, otherwise you couldnt know that many tricks!
+orangebudday Don't tell nobody... ;)
+orangebudday
i know his secret - he read the manual ;-)
+jerzy polomsky i knew it!!!!!!!!!!!! I should learn how to read
Is a shame the manual is the first thing everybody throws away
rodríguez you wouldn't be missing much. manual is not that detailed or clear
I wish all tutorials were this good.
Thank you so much. Only been a cpl of hours on my new volca here and so glad I found your video.
Fantastic. It works and apart from the knuckle gymnastics it's a great little addition to the trick bag.
Thank you for the tutorial, you can also record the parameters live instead of adjusting each note
Yes if you’re still wondering
Thank you. I wish Korg would publish such usefull stuff instead of these silly DJ-Videos!!
Great pingpong effect. Can you please make a video on this topic.
It’s the stereo part he mentions near the end :)

I had to watch the video three times, but I finally got it. I was holding FUNC before touching the step... and that won't work. Thanks!
+softservo I'm sorry i didn't make it clear about FUNC button... Glad You figured it out!
+Dennis Mozgovoy No worries. I'm grateful for these videos!
Awesome, getting cravings for Sample from watching your videos, keep it up!
thx for your time making this. Simple sounds, great effect!
Nice, that worked out great! Good example what (a lot) of patience and a little planning can do for you.
Thank you very much. Gracias. Merci. Obrigado.
That was a nifty trick doing it by note
Oh my days! That was super helpful - thank you!
What is your video set up by the way? And how do you do all the connections for recording sound? Cheers
Thanks' for posting, I will try this..
Great video! Thanks for sharing
The final track is awesome , but can you change the overall note of the secuence? ...in order to create a whole song for example not only a loop?
Thanks?
Great way of producing a melody thanks !
essential trick! Thanks!
very cool I can't wait to get started myself great demo thanks
Another awesome tutorial, keep them coming!
+jfmuk But it would be even better if you made it clear that firmware v1.3 is required to do this!
+jfmuk Done. I'd mention it in the description. Thank You for important info!
Great job and tips 👏
great! do you think this piece wouls be good as an entry thing for a complete beginner in music peoduction?
It was my first hardware sampler and I love it still, don’t judge by the side, great first instrument!
Thanks! Awesome demo
amazing! Totally sold me on the vSample, man! :D
very nice videos mate, most helpful! :)
Thank you So much another Level of control
And you can save that to a song or in pattern mode ?

@@natura808 thanks for the response! ill have to get more into the live performance aspect of it
So I assume each change of 1 on the pitch is a half step? I.e. 00 is A, 02 is B, 03 is C, up to 12 is A an octave up?
It sounds amazing! Is it a default sample? If yes, which one?
3:10 Func. + Speed = Change the speed of units in notes.. is this just in the key of C Major?
In semitons - i.e. any key.
+Dennis Mozgovoy oh yeah, I forgot about that :) thanks
I have a problem?do you Know why when i do it the step stay empty after do the manipulation ?
Firmware update korg volca sample. www.korg.com/us/support/download/software/0/370/1475/
