Following the Korg monotron, monotribe, and MS-20 Mini analog synthesizers, Korg announces the volca keys. Volca keys is an analog lead synthesizer that provides carefully selected parameters that allow the user to create a diverse array of fat sounds that can be obtained only from an analog synthesizer. Volca keys come equipped with a loop sequencer for intuitively generating phrase performances. Multiple units can be used in tandem, or together with your DAW software. Battery operation and built-in speakers mean that users can conveniently play anywhere and anytime. This is the next-generation analog synthesizer, delivering the ultimate sounds and grooves with ease and depth.

Combining the sonic power of true analogue synthesis with intuitive user controls, the volca Keys delivers immense versatility in sound creation and loop making.

The Korg Volca Keys is a fantastic sounding analog poly synth even if it were more expensive. This can really get pretty fat too. I love the Volca Keys so much that I made a sample library with it using motion recording and doing two passes of each sound to give me stereo imagining of the LFO phase. If there's one thing that's greatest about it, it's the filter. Korg filters are the best and this filter, based on the miniKORG 700S, is no exception. The different oscillator modes give it a wide range of sounds and one of my favorite features of this is the pitch envelope. The pitch envelope just really sets it apart from synths lacking such control. I've used this with its sequencer and that’s totally fun for DAWless jams. I'm now also enjoying using it in sampled form. Every parameter is motion recordable except oscillator mode & resonance and you can motion record all other parameters without limit. I hope to always have a Volca Keys and I just know I’ll only ever get rid of it if Korg comes out with a Volca Keys 2.
