KORG Volca FM 2 DIGITAL FM SYNTHESIZER Multi-touch 27-keys keyboard From Japan
KORG Volca FM 2 DIGITAL FM SYNTHESIZER Multi-touch 27-keys keyboard. A polyphonic digital synthesizer that perfectly reproduces the classic FM sound source. This is the next generation model of "volca fm, " which realizes unprecedented playability with twice the number of simultaneous sounds, rich effects, improved MIDI connections, and an intuitive interface. The number of simultaneous sounds has been increased from 3 to 6 in the original volca fm, and the number of stored tone programs has been increased from 32 to 64. In addition to an adjustable Chorus effect, there's also a new level-adjustable Reverb.
The new 3.5 mm mini MIDI in/out allows you to play other synths with the built-in sequencer. The Program Random function has been added, which randomizes the sound production of complex FM synths and allows you to use it like a chance operation. The number of voices has been increased from 3 to 6, and a new world of harmony has been introduced to the sound production. You can spice up your music with up to six voices for complex chords in sequences and arpeggios, and never run out of voices to control melodies, harmonies and bass on a single device.Velocity is also supported by a MIDI keyboard connection, allowing you to play with more expressive and nuanced sounds. In addition to the chorus effect, a reverb effect is included. You can now adjust each effect individually to create the FM sound you want. In addition to the MIDI IN terminal, a MIDI OUT terminal (IN/OUT 3.5 mm TRS) is also provided, allowing other MIDI-compatible synths to be played on the volca sequencer.
Also as a sequencer, the new volca fm advances machine live. Note, control and clock can be received via the MIDI IN connector, making it compatible with your DAW software. A loop sequencer of up to 16 steps can be used to record your keyboard performance. Up to 16 created sequence patterns can be stored in the instrument. It also has a motion sequence function that memorizes subtle play nuances and knob movements in real time, allowing you to change the sound over time.
In addition to creating loops, you can show your originality in live performances. Random programs and performance-oriented features. A new program randomizer is installed to sharpen the sound. Inspiration spreads through accident and melodic patching.
Of course, it has all the usual features. The Warp Active Step, Pattern Chain, and Arpeggiator functions make it easy to create addictive loops of rhythm and pattern. In addition to the Active Step function, which lets you skip steps in a sequence and play them back, the new function enables irregular rhythms.When the active steps are less than 16 steps, the warp active step function corrects the playing time to the same as 16 steps, and enables unconventional play by intentionally shifting the timing of steps by synchronizing playback with other volca. In addition, the Pattern Chain function, which allows multiple sequence patterns to be played back in succession, allows up to 16 sequences to be connected in 32, 64, or even 256 steps to create spectacular expansions.
Fully compatible with classic Sys-Ex. The sound engine of Yamaha DX7, the leading digital synthesizer that introduced FM sound sources to the world, is perfectly reproduced. Fully compatible with 6 operators and 32 algorithms, SYS-EX/SYX files (the sound format of Yamaha DX7) can be imported and used. This interface allows anyone to easily create the sound of an FM sound source. The "MODULATOR" and "CARRIER" knobs have multiple pre-assigned parameters, allowing you to instantly edit the unique sound of the FM sound source. If you are a deep FM tone generator user, you can also edit all parameters individually from the Menu section. A parameter list card is also included as a guide.Form has no enemies where it's headed. As before, the new model is compact and portable. An intuitive knob for immediate editing.
At only 360 grams (not including the 6 Series 3 batteries) including the built-in speaker, it's perfect for standalone use. With sync in and sync out connections and MIDI IN and MIDI OUT connections, it can be seamlessly deployed at live venues, studios or anywhere.
