- In this tutorial I show how to make dub techno chords with Korg Volca Bass synthesizer. It is monophonic, but there are two methods to play chords. The delay effect I'm using here is Ableton Live's Ping Pong Delay.

THANK YOU! Fantastic Volca Bass video. Please make more!
It'a actually very handy to have a readily available analog dub chorder if you make techno lol. Great video
This is probably the best video regarding volca bass I've watched in you tube Thanks a lot.
WHAT A COINCIDENCE !!! This is the worst tutorial of any equipment I ever watched . This guy is just turning knobs randomly without explaining what he is doing , also doesn't seem to know exactly what a chord is ...or a note
I explained everything as well as I can, I have no idea why are you so unhappy
Making techno is not the same as going to music school you know. He does explain it pretty well, but if you don't know the basics, you may want to check out basic tutorials about Oscillators, Pitches etc.
The best ! Yes ! The best !
I don't recall having seen this in other videos. Thanks for posting.
Thanks! Make more of this best volca bass video so far
Thanks for the tutorial! Those chords sound great with the delay.
Which delay?
@@MIGELGLORIA at 2:16
Reminds me of the chords from 'our time in liberty' Thanks for sharing
The result is so great!
I think in second part minor chord is created. Second note 3 (minor third) semitones away from root and the third 7 (fifth) away from root note. If you approach chord construction on Bass from semitone point of view (without using your ears) you can then easily create all sorts of 3 note chords.
great tutorial, I had no idea it could do this!
super dope, thanks for making this
thanks man, true dub techno sound, thxfor the tips! they really help me
yesterday i tried the second technique from the video, but triggering the midi from ableton in to the volca, and it was great!!!
super video! thanks for sharing this :D
That's very very clever. Especially with that bigger knob for the filter compared to the Keys :)
thanks! will try it during my next session
thanks for the video,you did explained very well
Thanks I learned something new today.
very cool! thank you for this
Thx thx, bro! Great teaching ;-)I only whas looking my ass of for the delay, but its an extern object instead of intern the Volca lol
Thank you sir!
Thank you 🙏
Great man!
Well done
superb!
Great , thanks 👍🏻😎
Well Done!
Great..! +Electronic Music & Creativity
brilliant
please do more like this ))
with volca FM for example
Would it all be possible for you to do a tutorial on bass? Maybe something similar to your track Buk.
hello nice tutorial!!!!can i have the same delay effect with some analog pedal delay?
Tnx for tip m8 !
thanks
this is really impressive ! which kind of delay are you using? is the volca connected to ableton? how? thanks !!
+Orlando Rojas these questions were already answered in other comments. But anyway, it is ableton ping pong delay. And volca bass is connected to ableton via my external soundcard's audio input, and an audio channel in ableton.
Nice
nice!
Great vid! By the way, you could do the same thing with Volca Keys I assume. For Dub Techno chords would the Volca Bass & Volca Keys be identical?
+Eliah Holiday I don't have Volca Keys so I don't know. But from what I know about it, Volca Keys, being a polyphonic synth, should be better for this kind of sound actually, and easier to make. But that's why I made this video, volca bass is not built for chords, yet there is a way to produce them.
@@electronicmusiccreativity8908 volca keys does not have the step sequencer, which is a shame :(
Which reverb/delay are you using? Sounds really smooth...
+irieflo83 I believe it was just ableton ping pong delay
+Electronic Music & Creativity thx! I relly should stop buying all that outboard gear :)
hi @elecronicmusic does this just have one sound (patch) and you play around and add effects to this one sound?
It does not have any patches.
Can you make tutorial with volca keys? Great tutorial anyway
+Tomasz Włazinski thank you. Volca Keys is a polyphonic synth, you don't need a special technique to produce chords with it
If using volca as a synth voice via midi the second method makes a lot of sense
Do you need a delay pedal or some kind of delay to create that chord or can you just use the volca bass itself
To add effects, yes of course you need something additional, like a pedal, or you can connect volca bass to your soundcard and then add effects in your DAW
how would you hook this up to input into ableton live? You mentioned using ping pong delay, could i, for example, feed this into fl studio and serum? Thanks bud.
You can easily do the same thing with any DAW. Just hook up your volca bass to your soundcard (volca bass headphone out to soundcard audio input), then add an audio track track in your daw and you should be able to hear volca bass through your DAW. You can add effects to it and do all kinds of cool stuff
that sounds amazing. I dont currently use a soundcard, just my mobo, would that not work?
Nice vid. Im guessing you are adding the delay externally?
+Jesse Caplan Again, answered this question in previous comments a few times... It's ableton ping pong delay
Let remake Big Fun from Inner city, anyone guessed the chords?
excuse me but how are you inputting that into Ableton to apply the delay?
External audio effects rack.
How many chords can you play with active step mode and using all 3 oscillators? (This video there is only 1)
As many as you can program into the 16 step sequencer, but it's complicated and time consuming.
watched this 100 times. but how did you change the octave?
+Liberté Music depends on which method you have in mind. In first method with vco pitch knobs (have them at 50% so you can move the octave up or down). In second - octave knob.
ahhh! will try that out! thanks a lot
There is a new Dubtechno music vid up in my chan. It's really deeeeeep ;)
why you press FUNK > STEP RECORD?? it can be with step only?
but is it necessary to connect an external delay?
dub techno chords volca bass or volca keys ?Which is better thx!!!
Well, on the Keys there is already a delay effect integrated (no need for routing the signal through the computer and a delay plugin).
But then again, the filter on the Bass is better - I think the video shows very well how thick and analog sounding it is. What the OP also shows is how a slight detune in one of the oscillators makes all the difference - you cannot do that just like it on the Keys.
I would go for the Bass.
Can this be done with a volca nubass
cant do it yet :(
can u describe the steps here plz
Hi has the synth got delay effect?
No he pluged synth in Abelton live
My Volca Bass will only tune in increments of 2. Anyone know why this is?
What do you use to connect it with ableton
Volca bass headphone out to soundcard audio input
👍
what delay did you use?
+Salomo Sitorus ableton ping pong delay
+Electronic Music & Creativity
How? Volca hasn't midi out, so how did you use delay in real time on audio pattern in ableton? thx for tutorial & help plz :)
+techno czapla you don't need midi for this at all. Midi is only for digital data like notes, velocity and other midi data. My volca's headphone output goes into my soundcard's audio input, then I have an audio channel in ableton, and i can add any effects i want to it. Very simple :)
Beautiful and tasty
Hey, I've recently bought one of those little toys and I'm trying to reproduce the DUB Tech Chord 'very nice one', but I can't get the sustain on as you do around 2:07 minute of the video. I've started from scratch, func+15, did the same as you do but I'm not getting the same sustainability of the sound when I turn it on. Any idea why? I'm concerned if something is wrong with my toy.
+Deny Kasapo make sure you have AMP EG on! FUNC + AMP EG ON. And then increase DECAY/RELEASE. Hope it helps!
+Electronic Music & Creativity Cool, it worked out. Thanks for your help!
I thought Dub techno is FM
how is it for recording straight into ableton?
+420Roden haven't run into any problems recording it, actually that's how I recorded audio for this video
okay cool man , I've got a tb-3 at home and want to (cheaply) improve my setup , think the volga series is the one
+420Roden I created a Midilayer to setup the volca bass and a AudioLayer that record the sound of the Midillayer. (just for live recording in ableton) its works fine :) Maybe theres another way .. let me know
ableton is capable of recording audio from volca bass without any additional software. Just use "external instrument" from the instruments list, or an audio channel if you don't need midi
+Electronic Music & Creativity is it the same for the keys too? leaning more towards that
Please turn the excitement down.
Real analog to plastic digital sound of Ableton is not good. Use the analog delays (hardware).
+Electronic Music & Creativity buy a monotron delay haha, really nasty
I absolutely agree on "plasticity" of the digital sound :) But well, one would have to be almost infintely rich to buy all the gear one desires :)
Realistic scenario: download pirated Echo Boy. Done. ;)
What hardware would you suggest?
Not necessary
I'd really like to see a blind comparison test of ppl who make this claim.
such skinny wrists. but good video
Haha, how are skinny wrists even relevant to the video? I couldnt care if he had a hook for a hand once the tutorial is this good.
nature designed my wrists specifically for electronic music making
AHHHH so unsatisfying.... So stressful man stop
looser demo...
nice!
Nice
