Review Summary

The Korg Volca Keys is a fantastic sounding analog poly synth even if it were more expensive. This can really get pretty fat too. I love the Volca Keys so much that I made a sample library with it using motion recording and doing two passes of each sound to give me stereo imagining of the LFO phase. If there's one thing that's greatest about it, it's the filter. Korg filters are the best and this filter, based on the miniKORG 700S, is no exception. The different oscillator modes give it a wide range of sounds and one of my favorite features of this is the pitch envelope. The pitch envelope just really sets it apart from synths lacking such control. I've used this with its sequencer and that's totally fun for DAWless jams. I'm now also enjoying using it in sampled form. Every parameter is motion recordable except oscillator mode & resonance and you can motion record all other parameters without limit. I hope to always have a Volca Keys and I just know I'll only ever get rid of it if Korg comes out with a Volca Keys 2.

The Korg Volca Keys Analog Loop Synthesizer is a polyphonic lead synthesizer with three self-tuning oscillators capable of three-note synthesis. It features a built-in 16-step loop sequencer with the ability to record phrases as you play them. The Motion Sequencer allows you to record knob edits in real time while the Active Step and Flux functions can provide dynamic changes to your programmed sequences. The unit also has built-in delay for time-based effects.
The unit can be programmed with its 27-key Multi-Touch keypad or with an external MIDI controller or DAW via its 5-pin DIN MIDI input. Multiple units from the Volca line can be clock synced with the 1/8" Sync In and Out connectors. Playback is provided through the 1/8" headphone output or through the Volca Keys' Built-In Speaker. It can be powered by six AA batteries or with the optional KA-350 AC adapter.
