Six analog parts and four PCM parts, fully editable

Let's cut to the chase — the Korg Volca Beats gives you six analog drum parts and four PCM drum parts, fully editable to your heart's content. That means you can create everything from punchy, glitched-out rhythms to booming 808-style grooves. And even though Volca Beats is an analog drum machine, you can store multiple patterns for easy recall later on. Lay down the beat with a classic step sequencer

The Electribe-style sequencer on the Volca Beats drum machine lets you create 16-step patterns, and store up to eight of them in internal memory. A cool Stutter function lets you easily create repeated triggers that'll instantly add some excitement to your pattern.

Truly portable, and easy to integrate with other gear

With its compact size and optional Volca Power Supply or battery power, the Korg Volca Beats is truly a go-anywhere groove box. Best of all, it's got the right connections to interface with any of your gear. It's got a MIDI input so you can control it via any MIDI sequencer, and it even has Sync I/O so it can play in time with Korg's Monotribe and Monotron analog synthesizers. Or simply create whatever drum sounds you like, then sample them for sequencing elsewhere.
