    Great little Synthesizer at a great price!
    5 Stars
    Great little Synthesizer at a great price!
    I've owned and worked with Synthesizers since 1972. I currently own quite a few Synthesizers from several manufacturers, Behringer, Roland, ASM, Elektron, Modal, Teenage Engineering and Korg (Volca FM 2 and Sample 2) to name a few.At being over 10 years in the marketplace this Volca Keys has really held up to the test of time. I decided it was time to take another look at it and decided I wanted to have one.Although it is marketed as an "Analogue" Synthesizer in reality the control signals are generated digitally with the CPU using a 10-bit DAC giving incredible near-analogue resolution. Essentially, this is a Subtractive Hybrid unit; an analogue sound engine with digital control so dial tweaks and note info can be recorded into the sequencer/accessed over MIDI. By the way, this is a good thing not a negative at all.It's a pretty easy to use, straightforward Synth, with no menu screen or deep diving, pretty much a dial per function arrangement. Great for beginners but powerful enough for experienced users. However I did notice notice that some dials are translucent and some solid. As a rule I found (with some exceptions) the solid dials' movements can't be sequenced, but the translucent dials can be sequenced and are backlit red plus flash to denote which parameters are active or recorded in a 'motion sequence' (motion sequencing captures dial movements into the sequencer). The tempo dials flash in time with the internal/MIDI-clocked tempo and each key/sequence step has its own LED too, convenient for letting you know what's happening at a glance within complex sequences.It features 3 sawtooth wave oscillators and produces great upfront three-note chords, dirty lead/bass lines, ring modulated sounds and detuned unisons. It also features octave/fifth mono modes, a versatile tempo-syncable analogue-style delay that does reverbs/bit-crushing (from the Monotron Delay) freeform unquantised flux recording and 1/1, 1⁄2 and 1⁄4 tempo modes.It also uses the MiniKORG700s filter, which is a great filter. The LFO has 3 waveforms: sawtooth, square and triangle which make for some great modulation variety.The Volca Keys really packs a lot in and it's very versatile and a true value at such a low cost. It's a nice addition to the Analog Synthesizer part of my Studio's Synthesizer "Arsenal". At this price everyone should own one!
