Review: Alles bestens
Review: Korg Volcas are addictive, and this is the third one I've bought after modular and nu:bass - of the options for providing drums/beats, the Volca Drum is the most original and powerful, though the sample offers a lot of flexibility as well. It adheres to the standard Volca form factor and battery requirements, with the usual audio, sync and MIDI input. The pattern sequencer is also familiar, with 16 patterns of 16 steps for up to 256 steps in a song. There's no means of backing up the kits or storage, but you can get a third-party editor and VST which helps with that. What it does: Six-parts of synthesized drums consisting of two 'layers' each, each layer having its down sound character modified through the wave source, envelopes and other parameters accessed via the edit button. There's enough control to change sounds on the fly, and it's a VERY powerful drum synthesizer for the money, rivalling the likes of the Nord Drum 3P for sound and texture creation. Editing the six drum sounds is remarkably easy, though getting truly accurate or characterful original sounds can be tricky, it just needs a subtle touch. Bolstering the sound of the drums is a single resonator that affects all of them, which can be tuned and changed from tube to string, for bassy or reedy tones. This is really the only limitation of the sound generation, you can't have one part in a tube, and the other via string. It's intuitive to play basic beats, with 10 preset kits of straight electro/pop sounds with some wierd and wonderful squawks and breaks for good measure, but it rewards in-depth thoughtful programming. How does it sound? Remarkable. High-quality and clear, the bass can shake and the high pitches can ring with no aliasing or crudeness that you might expect of cheap PCM samples, this is true drum synthesis with rich harmonics and a lot of flexibility. It's at home in synthwave, garage, dubstep, grime or whatever, really, capable of being very solid or just plain bizarre. How vital is it to a Volca setup? This should be your second or third one alongside bassline and melody, but you could buy this for use alongside other synths and find it stands alone as an excellent drum machine. It's one of Korg's best yet and incredibly good value; I'm still finding more depth months into owning it. It's more enjoyable to program than the Nord 3P as well... Anything it benefits from? Effects of course - the Volca Mix has send/return, but I'd probably use this with a Kaoss KP3+ or kaoss pad for glitch, delay and grain effects if I weren't using the minikp2 for that via the mixer. It really suits that style of dynamic, effected playing and becomes a simple drum and bass machine if you take the time to program it. It also works well with the Volca Modular as an additive percussion synth for additional character. Think complex, shimmering and harsh metallic hits like early industrial music, backed by more 2000s-style heavy, long-decayed kicks from the Volca Drum. Any downsides? Not really, apart from the lack of sound bank/pattern backup. It stores them fine, but doesn't have much storage on board and there's no MIDI out or audio backup option. It would be nice if it would play an audio file of the memory contents for later restoration, in the same way that firmware updates are applied. You want it, basically. The Korg Volca Drum is one of the best Volcas yet; it's powerful, flexible and original - the sounds are versatile, and it could add something to any studio, not just a starter project or basic Volca layout. You could sample patterns from this until your fingers wear out.

Volca Beatsがアナログ感に拘った四つ打ちテクノ向けのドラムマシンであるのに対し、 今回のVolca Drumはデジタルのドラムシンセということで、音作りの幅がかなり広いです。 またシーケンサーがかなり進化していて、各パートごとのActive Stepやスライス機能など トリッキーなフレーズも作りやすいです。IDM系の音楽にはかなり向いてそうですね。 見た目は小さいですが、使える機能が多く奥が深いマシンだと思いますね。 すでにBeatsを持ってる人にもおすすめです。 追記（2019年4月20日） あれからYoutubeにアップされてる様々なデモや演奏動画を見て Volca Drumに搭載されている様々な機能を勉強してみましたよ。 （公式のマニュアルがもう少しわかりやすいといいんですが…） 使い倒してみてわかりましたが、このマシンのポテンシャルは本当にすごいです。 STEPJUMP機能や音色のレイヤー/ステップパターンのランダマイズ機能。 ただ適当に打ち込んで音色やパターンに変化を与えて遊んでいるだけで 本当に楽しすぎてあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいます。 ただ、いくら楽しいからといって無茶苦茶にFuncボタンを押しまくるのは フリーズを引き起こすことがあるので辞めましょう。（２回ほどやらかした）
