Korg Volca FM 2

The second generation volca fm is a 6-voice polyphonic FM synthesizer with 6 operators and 32 algorithms that can easily reproduce the classic FM sounds of the 80s and 90s. The intuitive user interface, which combines the most important sound-shaping parameters in a few macro controls, allows you to manipulate the sounds of the volca fm even without in-depth knowledge of FM synthesis. Of course, it is still possible to dive into the deepest realms of sound generation to edit the individual operators in detail. To refine the sounds, both a chorus and a reverb effect are available, which can even be used simultaneously and controlled separately if desired. As the first device of the volca series ever, the second-generation volca fm not only has a MIDI IN but also a MIDI OUT connection, which means that the internal 16-step sequencer can now also be used to control external devices. If the volca fm is played via a velocity-sensitive MIDI keyboard, it can now also respond to its velocity, enabling particularly expressive playing. The likewise new Randomize function can be used to generate new sounds randomly at the touch of a button. And the sequencer's innovative "Warp Active Step" mode brings particularly unusual rhythm structures to light. In addition to this wealth of new features, the second-generation volca fm of course still harbors the classic volca virtues, making it a fully-featured FM synthesizer that's easy to take anywhere with its integrated speaker, battery-powered capability and compact form factor.
