KORGvolca Modular - Analogue Performance Mixer

Bought this in tandem with the Volca Sampler. I do a lot of field recording and will use both devices to play with sounds. I'm not really a musician, play a little guitar. Both devices are great for experimentation in sound design. There's a small learning curve but lots of videos on youtube demonstrating how to get started.I think in the right hands and with a musical ear, you can really pull the potential from this little thing. A bonus is that the power supply I bought from an amazon external seller works for both devices. I also have the Korg NTS-1 which can run off usb power- that might have been a nice option for portability for this device as 6AAs is a little bit of an inconvenience.Overall there's nothing else in the price range that comes close.

Right choice for entry level and lots of room for exploration

Really impressive synth from Korg. A lot of fun

This can be a frustrating little box if you don't know what you're doing. Don't get me wrong, fun can be had straight out of the box, as you don't need to use the micro patch cables to produce sound (as you would with a traditional modular synth.) However, learning about the multifarious complexities of the Volca - and how to patch it - is a rewarding business that may result in an expensive modular synth addition. Beware.
