  • We got sent the new @Korg Volca FM2 , the original which we reviewed previously, but now has 6 voices instead of a mere 3, velocity response over MIDI (Yay!), 64 on board presets and Chorus and Reverb Effects as well as some other improvements -and the Radikal Technologies Delta CEP A - a beast of a digital synth, plus the good ol' Zoom MS70-CDR
    Nick takes a look at the FM2, adds reverb and noodles away - enjoy!

    Good lord, man, just gorgeous. If you aren't secretly tinkering away on an album, you should be. If your Friday noodles are just that, I can't imagine what you could come up with in focused production. Hell, I'd pay for an album of these delicious noodles.

    Sounds great Nick. I sold my original Volca FM, but the two main things that disappointed me (no velocity/voice limit) have been changed with the new version. They're fun little boxes, regardless of what happens in Synth Memes. Easy access to some of the parameters for quick hands-on edits. And that Delta CEP-A is as awesome as anything (good job Jorg). Nice jam.

    It is missing literally only one thing all fm synths need, some way to control low to high FM amounts via key mapping. Turning down the FM the higher the note you play makes the synth sound more organic

  • @ianmorton1799
    @ianmorton1799 Год назад

    Something I'm disappointed by here is that when you changed the patch, it killed all the notes previously played. The OG FM had an unofficial firmware update that fixed the velocity issue mentioned, and made a few improvements, such as allowing the previous patch to fade away. Helps for live performance, but also if using pattern chain. This also makes me wonder if the other advantage of that firmware update made it onto this. Apparently Yamaha and Korg have some difference in sysex that means many dx7 patches don't sound right on the FM. And that's a huge bummer, downloading some Brian Eno patches but not being able to use them? So hopefully when they say that this new one can play dx7 patches it means ANY dx7 patch, or else that unofficial firmware update still makes the original, while limited in voices, still more useful for my purposes. Which sucks because some of these presets, and the internal effects, all sound fantastic.
