Super helpful overview of the contrast between west coast and east coast synthesis. I like your tutorials a lot. Small thing (pet peeve of mine): I know more and more people have been using the term "additive synthesis" to cover things like west coast synthesis (but also sometimes FM); and I understand what they mean in context. But I worry that at the end of the day it makes it harder for people to understand the full landscape of synthesis types. (As I'm sure you know, the traditional way of defining additive synthesis is as relying on the addition of sine waves to create complex sounds.) It's especially an issue with West coast IMO because the signal path often ends up being subtractive - when it's setup to run all the sound generators through the LPG... Sorry for the rant. I'm really excited to see Korg take such a bold step towards making West Coast synthesis more mainstream with this product. Keep up the great work!
East Coast synthesis uses discrete, harmonic-rich oscillators and runs everything through filters. West Coast synthesis takes a simple oscillator and folds it onto itself to create harmonic-rich tones.

The ring mod sounds beautiful on this synth. Bell sounds no problem.
nice effort to explain west coast synthesis, ive been waiting for a cheap easy way to get into it, this might be it.
If you have an iPad, try Ripplemaker... can run multiple instances in AUM & 200 adjustable presets
@@valdiskrebs566 I totally agree! I don’t use many music apps on my phone anymore, but Ripplemaker is amazing.

Best to go to the angle shot when patching wires. That way, people can’t clearly see where you’re inserting the cable.
I’m looking forward to the release of this nifty volca 👍🏻
This guy is an amazing teacher
What's his name are people able to follow him on social media??
Great!
is this being sold yet?
Nope. It's available for pre-order at a bunch of places and looks like it'll be released sometime in February.
Dear Korg. PLEASE rehouse the Volca Modular in a eurorack form factor and add MIDI connectivity. PLEASE! I'll gladly pay £400 for that.

first
Looks too complicated
No, thats a DAW.
No, that's string theory.@@fortheloveofnoise
I got a headache :D
BULLSHIT! there is no such thing as "west coast sound" or "east coast sound"!
2 Pac would disagree.
It's not the sound but how you create the sound
East Coast synthesis uses discrete, harmonic-rich oscillators and runs everything through filters.
West Coast synthesis takes a simple oscillator and folds it onto itself to create harmonic-rich tones.
Too bad it sounds like a tin can
nah the crunching metallic sound is great for industrial techno, I want the sound of a tin can in a washing machine beaten by a sledge hammer :p
Too bad it also sounds like the crying overworked Japanese children who snapped it together on an assembly line for 20 cents that 14 hour day
