Korg Volca
Korg Volca is a series of electronic musical instruments and accessories released by the Japanese manufacturer Korg. The various units in the range are noted for their inexpensive price and compact dimensions.
The series bridges both digital and analogue synthesis; synthesisers and drum machines, with many different types of noise generation represented in the 10 models available.
The range was initially launched in 2013 with the Volca Keys, Volca Beats and Volca Bass, all initially at £119.99 each. These models all featured MIDI-in for external control, as do most of the later releases with the exception of the Volca Modular.
