Take your sound design to sophisticated new heights with the Korg Volca FM 2 Digital FM Synthesizer, an innovative and user-friendly instrument that offers high-quality sound manipulation. This next-generation synthesizer expands upon its predecessor with a robust 6-voice, 6-Operator FM synthesis engine, allowing for intricate and dynamic soundscapes that echo the iconic Yamaha DX7. With all 32 classic algorithms at your fingertips, you can explore a vast sonic territory, from nostalgic 80s tones to futuristic textures.

The Volca FM 2 is not only a tribute to the past but also a leap into the future, with double the polyphony of the original model. This enhancement means you can seamlessly integrate complex chords and layered sounds into your music without voice limitations. The addition of velocity sensitivity via MIDI further refines your expressive capabilities, providing a nuanced playing experience that rivals much larger setups.

Enhance your sonic creations with built-in effects, including a lush Reverb and a rich Chorus, each adjustable to perfect your sound. The Volca FM 2's intuitive interface makes it simple to dial in the right ambiance for any patch, ensuring your music resonates with depth and clarity.

Connectivity is key for modern music production, and the Volca FM 2 excels with expanded MIDI features, including MIDI IN/OUT (3.5 mm TRS), allowing for seamless integration with other gear and DAWs. Use the internal sequencer to control external devices, or sync with your favorite software to expand your creative possibilities.

The internal 16-step loop sequencer is a powerful tool for capturing and refining your musical ideas. Store up to 16 sequence patterns and employ the motion sequence function to record real-time knob movements, adding evolving changes to your loops. With the program randomizer, you can discover new sounds and inspire fresh tracks with a touch of serendipity.

For live performance and studio sessions alike, the Volca FM 2's performance-oriented functions, such as warp active step and pattern chain, allow you to craft complex rhythms and extended sequences. These features, combined with the ability to load and fully utilize SYS-EX/SYX format files, make the Volca FM 2 a versatile and powerful tool for any musician.

Despite its expansive capabilities, the Volca FM 2 maintains a durable and portable form factor. At just 360g/12.6oz (without batteries), it's equipped with an integrated speaker and can be powered by batteries or an optional adapter, making it the ultimate portable FM synthesis solution.
