Rated 5 out of 5

Great MS20 Kick

The Korg Volca Kick is a fantastic and beefy analog percussion/bass module which, while limited, completely delivers. First off I love Korg so much more than Moog for its filters but specifically for its MS20 filter. This Volca takes the MS20 filter and puts it in kick form. I absolutely love the completely analog tones that come out of this thing. It is limited but what it does do it does so well. Everyone needs a solid kick for the foundation of any great track. This delivers in spades. I recommend slowing down your attack time to take away any clickiness to your kick. This will sound more natural. Also I recommend sampling your kick tone and using your Volca Kick sample in your sampler or DAW of your choosing. This way you get consistent phase interplay between this and other samples. Always check you phases. Especially with the kick, a random analog start phase to your sound will make the body of your track breathe in an undesirable way. The Volca Kick can also be used as a bass synth and, while I haven't done this yet, I'm sure when I get around to it I'll love it as well.
