User questions & answers

Question:	Is it compatable with fl studio
Answer:	Sorry, I don't know. I use Ableton 9 Lite. One of the product reviewers (Nelson Cartier, the first of 10 reviews) lists some software that it is compatible with and he mentions FL Studio as being compatible.
Question:	Does it work with fl studio
Answer:	Worked fine with FL Studio 12.x
Question:	Might be a dumb question but can this be connected via mid cable? All i see is usb port on picture
Answer:	It does not have the old school 5 pin DIN midi ports but the USB port is USB midi and works the same as the 5 pins. Actually better because you don't need a midi interface and it uses one cable instead of 2. It can also power your midi controller via USB, assuming your midi device supports that. I was skeptical moving from. 5 pin midi to USB midi but now that I have I no longer use the 5 pin cables if possible.
Question:	Does this with macbook garage band
Answer:	I have a 2018 MacBook Pro. I plugged it in, loaded Garageband and was working instantly.

Volca Keys is a long-awaited synthesizer that adds a new chapter to the long and storied history of Korg's analog synthesizers. This 27-key analog lead synth delivers unbelievably powerful sound in a compact body. Starting with a filter section that uses the circuitry of the legendary miniKORG700S (1974), it delivers astonishing sound that takes full advantage of Korg's half-century of know-how in circuit design. With a simple structure that includes delay effect and a sequencer, it's also an ideal choice for a first analog synth. It offers the richly expressive sounds that are distinctive of analog, providing the enjoyment of simple yet deep sound-creation. The possibilities are endless; you can use the three oscillators to play chords, use them in unison with detune to produce solid lead lines, or apply ring modulation to create far-out metallic sounds. Following in the footsteps of the monotron, monotribe, and MS-20 Mini analog synthesizers, Korg announces the Volca series. volca is a new lineup of EDM production tools comprised of three distinct models: the Volca Keys lead synthesizer, the volca Bass synthesizer, and the Volca Beats rhythm machine. These powerful and fun-to-use true-analog devices deliver a diverse array of fat sounds that can be obtained only from an analog synthesizer. Each is also equipped with sequencing/recording capabilities for intuitively generating performances. Multiple volcas can be used in tandem via the vintage-style sync in/out, and with your favorite DAW software or MIDI keyboard via MIDI In. Battery operation and built-in s

• Three note true analogue synthesis
• Voicing function lets anyone create sounds easily
• Self-tuning function for constant, stable pitch
• Loop sequencer lets you record phases just as you play them
• Compact size, battery-powered operation, and built-in speaker for enjoyment anywhere

User questions & answers

Question:	How many instrument sounds does it have
Answer:	Just so folks know: these "cables" are just pieces of stranded wire with pin tips crimped on. Should your stash go AWOL, ordinary 22 or 24 AWG *solid* wire will work just fine, in a pinch. If you're emotionally attached to the little rubber grippy tips, search for "jumpers" in the Electronics Department -- 50 pcs. normally runs less than $10.
Question:	Any idea if the power supply included will work with this daisey chain? https://www.amazon.com/kvgear-daisy-chain-splitter-power/dp/b07fxv2nx
Answer:	The "scale / micro tuning function" installed in this model is a specification that can be saved for each sequence (1 to 16).
Question:	Does any of the Volca synths allow you to record live sounds or to save sounds from an external source so you can later use them within a sequence
Answer:	Sounds mono
Question:	how would you recommend i connect this to ableton live 9 on my laptop
Answer:	The volca modular has does not have midi in. It has CV in and sync in.

Question:	sounds included? vs Akai
Answer:	I don't know about the AKAI, this is a midi controller, but once you buy it you get many links so you can download sounds, vst synths and FXs, I mean a lot...hope this works for you
Question:	It cannot record on its own right if I wanted to play my bass and I plugged it into the keyboard and then hooked it up to ableton it wouldn’t work
Answer:	You would need an audio interface. The 1/4" jack on this keyboard is only for an expression pedal, so the keyboard can't send your Bass' audio to ableton. Check out the focusrite Scarlett interface for recording your instruments directly into Ableton.
