Korg Volca FM 2 is a powerful 6-voice, 6-operator FM synthesizer with all 32 classic algorithms, a 16-step loop sequencer, effects and a powerful arpeggiator that perfectly reproduces the sound of the classic Yamaha DX7 and is fully compatible with DX7 SysEx patches. Powered by batteries (included) or an adapter (sold separately) with built-in speakers and a compact and light chassis, Volca FM 2 is the ultimate portable FM solution for all musicians.
With double the voices of its predecessor, additional effects, expanded MIDI connectivity and an intuitive interface, this new generation is poised to bring unprecedented possibilities to your setup and revolutionize your studio with new musical ideas.
With 6 voices, Volca FM 2 brings a new world of harmonic possibilities to your production. Now it's possible to play, sequence or arpeggiate complex chords with up to 6 voices in order to bring a unique flavor to your music production – no more running out of voices when sequencing melody, harmony and bass all in one device! Moreover, Volca FM 2 is velocity sensitive via MIDI, which provides a more expressive and nuanced playing experience.
By popular request, Volca FM 2 includes a lush reverb effect in addition to chorus. Each of these effects can be used and adjusted individually to add the finishing touch to any FM sound.
In addition to MIDI input, Volca FM 2 also includes MIDI out (both on 1/8" TRS connectors), making it possible to use the intuitive Volca internal sequencer to control other devices via MIDI, making it the perfect addition to your standalone setup. Of course, it also works well with your DAW of choice thanks to note, control and clock receipt via the MIDI input.
The internal sequencer offers looping up to 16 steps, allowing you to record your performance on the touch panel keyboard as you play. Up to 16 sequence patterns can be stored in the internal memory. Volca FM 2 also incorporates a motion sequence function to record all the subtle nuances of your playing and knob movements in real time, letting you add time-varying changes to your sounds.
In order to spice things up, Volca FM 2 includes a program randomizer, letting you find new inspiration through happy accidents and unexpected patches. Of course, it still incorporates highly acclaimed functions such as warp active step, pattern chain and an improved arpeggiator, making it easy to create crazy looping rhythms and patterns.
Volca FM 2 perfectly reproduces the sound engine of Yamaha DX7, the classic digital synthesizer that made the world aware of FM synthesis. Its 6 operators and 32 algorithms provide complete compatibility, and it can even load files in SysEx .SYX format.
Volca FM 2 makes FM sound editing accessible with the MODULATOR/CARRIER edit knobs; the knob movements are mapped to multiple parameters for sound changes that are easy to understand. FM enthusiasts can also menu dive into full parameter edits; Volca FM 2 even comes with a handy parameter list guide to help.
Following the Volca tradition, the Volca FM 2 comes in a portable, small form factor that you can take anywhere. Totally hands-on with plenty of knobs for on-the-fly sound editing, Volca FM 2 runs on 6 AA batteries, has an integrated speaker and at only 12.6 oz. (without batteries) is perfect for standalone use. Furthermore, with sync in/out and MIDI in/out connections, it integrates seamlessly with your live rig, production studio and of course any other Volca!
In collaboration with Oscillator Sink, old and new Volca FM users can use the completely free Synthmata online editor to easily modify their patches – no installation required.
Volca FM 2 comes with a diverse variety of music software including Izotope Ozone Elements mastering software, online keyboard lessons from Skoove, Reason Lite DAW software and software synths from Korg and other brands.
