User questions & answers

Question:	does the midi software (velvet, xpand, and mini grand) work as plugins with Ableton 9? As a vst? or are they stand alone
Answer:	They should work both ways
Question:	What kind of usb connector is needed to connect to an iPad with (lightning cable
Answer:	I wanted to connect my Yamaha p125 to my ipad and was told to buy that ridiculously expensive Apple Camera Adapter. Instead, I bought an Amazon Basics regular USB to iPad Pro USB adapter for around 10 bucks. Works the same and a whole lot cheaper. Don't believe me? Go to Sweetwater's website and look at the demo video using the Yamaha keyboard with the ipad Pro. You can see the same adapter.
Question:	Will this work with Mac Mojave
Answer:	This is from the M-Audio website FAQ's: Will the Keystation Mini 32 MK3 work with my Windows or Mac computer? Yes! The Keystation Mini 32 MK3 is a class-compliant device, which means that it's plug-and-play and does not require any drivers to be installed. This also means that it will work and is supported on the latest operating systems, including Windows 10 and Mac 10.14. The important take-away, for everyone, is this: "The Keystation Mini 32 MK3 is a class-compliant device".
Question:	Is the 49 key semi weighted as well
Answer:	I owned the Keystation 88 II, which has the semi-weighted feel. So, rather than guess at the answer to your question, I just checked the M-Audio website. Their description says that the Keystation 49 MK3 has a synth action. That type of action, typically, is a lighter spring feel than the semi-weighted feel. I actually liked the feel,of the 88 II. I owned two of them. One lasted four years. The second unit only one and a half years. I take particularly good care of my equipment. And don’t pound on the keys. However, they both failed far too soon, in my opinion. I have switched to the Nektar brand. Only time will tell about their durability. Good luck with your choice.

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.

User questions & answers

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.
Question:	What adaptor do I need to connect to an iPad
Answer:	Hello, Thank you for reaching out. You will nee the Apple official camera connection kit adapter. You can purchase it directly from Apple. Best regards, Novation Support
Question:	Can this be used independently with no laptop? Asking for my nephew who is a total beginner and needs something he can use independently
