It even allows original DX7 patches to be transferred to the volca fm via SysEx. The volca fm is powered by batteries (included) or an optional power supply. Its compact, lightweight enclosure includes a speaker, allowing you to access crystal-clear FM sounds on the go without relying on headphones. With twice as many polyphonic voices as its predecessor, additional effects, expanded MIDI options, and an intuitive user interface, the latest-generation volca fm is a real asset to any live rig or studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDouble the Power\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith six polyphonic voices (instead of three on the predecessor), the new volca fm vastly expands its harmonic possibilities. You can now play more complex chords, program them into the sequencer, or run them through the arpeggiator to give your productions a truly unique flair. Thanks to the number of voices and the sequencer, you can even play simple harmonies, a bassline, and a melody simultaneously—all with a single device. Furthermore, the new volca fm now also supports MIDI velocity, enabling particularly expressive and nuanced playing, especially in combination with its six-voice polyphony.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMore Effects\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDue to high demand, the new volca fm now offers a lush, smooth reverb effect in addition to the already available chorus effect. Both effects can be used simultaneously and controlled separately to give your FM sounds a truly special touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eConnecting and Sequencing External Sound Sources\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the MIDI IN jack, the new volca fm features a MIDI OUT connection (3.5 mm stereo mini-jack IN\/OUT). This allows you to control external MIDI sound sources using the volca fm sequencer, adding significant value not only in live performances. Since the MIDI IN jack receives not only notes and control data (CC) but also MIDI clock signals, connecting it to a DAW is no problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePowerful Sequencer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe internal sequencer has 16 steps that can be recorded using the touch keyboard. Up to 16 user-programmed sequence patterns can be stored internally. The volca fm also features a motion sequence function for fine-tuning: recording dynamics and control changes ensures a performance that is as musical as it is colorful. This brings your loops to life and creates an impressive wow effect during live performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNew Random Function and Much More\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo add even more spice to your productions, the new volca fm allows you to generate new sound programs randomly, because nothing inspires creativity quite like the proverbial “happy little accidents.” Popular features such as “Warp Active Step” and “Pattern Chaining” are, of course, still included. The redesigned arpeggiator also allows for completely crazy rhythm and pattern loops. In addition to the Active Step function, which lets you skip the desired steps in a sequence, the volca fm allows you to create even more irregular rhythms. As long as fewer than 16 sequence steps are activated, the Warp Active Step function can distribute the remaining steps across the 16 sequence subdivisions. When operating in sync with another device in the volca series, the timing is adjusted to create completely new rhythmic figures. The Pattern Chain function allows you to set the playback order of multiple patterns and thus extend a single pass to 32, 64, or even 256 steps by combining up to 16 sequences into one large sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComprehensive SysEx Compatibility and Intuitive Sound Editing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn terms of sound generation, the volca fm is the perfect reincarnation of the Yamaha DX7, which caused a sensation in the music scene with its FM synthesis. The six operators and 32 algorithms exactly match those of the original, so sounds in SysEx\/SYX format can be loaded without any problems. With its MODULATOR\/CARRIER controls, the volca fm makes FM synthesis appealing even to musicians without a scientific background: each control is assigned to multiple parameters, allowing you to manipulate the sounds quickly and intuitively. However, those who already have a basic understanding of FM are, of course, also given the option to adjust all parameters individually. The volca fm also includes a parameter overview, which makes it easier for beginners to take their first steps in the world of FM synthesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUnbeatable Enclosure Format\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrue to the volca philosophy, the new volca fm is a fully portable, compact instrument that you can easily take anywhere. Hands-on playing takes center stage here: the numerous controls invite intuitive tweaking. Naturally, the new volca fm can also be powered by six AA batteries, making it fully portable. Despite the built-in speaker, it weighs only 360 grams (without batteries) and is therefore also ideal for standalone use. With its SYNC IN \u0026amp; OUT and MIDI IN \u0026amp; OUT connections, it can be easily integrated into a live rig or production studio. And, of course, it goes without saying that it also harmonizes perfectly with the other volca models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e“Synthmata” Online Editor\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to the collaboration between Korg and Oscillator Sink, users of an original or new volca fm have access to a free online editor for modifying existing sounds and creating new ones without having to install any software. Synthmata includes an intelligent random function that allows you to narrow down the character of the desired sound using eleven “Sound Quality” faders. In this way, Synthmata can create a virtually endless number of new sound programs and continually inspire your creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFree Music Software Bundle\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volca fm includes several software titles, such as iZotope’s “Ozone Elements” for AI-based mastering, “Skoove” for perfecting keyboard playing, the “Reason Lite” DAW software, as well as software synthesizers from KORG and other providers. In other words, the volca fm comes with a comprehensive collection of music production software that allows you to take your music to the next level in no time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Korg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53003776032999,"sku":"1372808","price":147.6,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6638\/7175\/files\/227614952_xxl3.jpg?v=1793999312","url":"https:\/\/www.my-shopstop.ch\/en\/products\/korg-synthesizer-volca-fm-2","provider":"My Shopstop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
