Here’s what Korg say:
A semi-modular analog synthesizer that makes modular synthesis more accessible and understandable than ever before.
Creating new sounds that don’t exist in the outside world is an unending dream which has continued since the birth of electronic musical instruments. This dream has evolved and expanded throughout the development of new and unique music production devices.
The popularity of modular synthesizers around the world has generated new excitement and interest in the so-called "West Coast style" of synthesis that deviates from traditional synthesis norms.
The compact body of this volca synth features eight modules and 50 patch points. While learning the basics of a modular synth, you can use popular features of the volca synthesizer line to control a unique and different flavor of analog sounds.
An analog synth composed of modules
Eight modules
The volca modular is a semi-modular synthesizer consisting of independent analog synth modules, digital effects, and a sequencer. Each of the modules has been carefully selected for its stand-alone completeness. The modules are internally connected so that sound can be produced even before connecting the included pin cables, and the routing is shown by white lines on the panel. Module connections via a pin cable take priority over the internal connections, bypassing them.
- Source: This consists of a triangle VCO carrier and a modulator. The complex overtones generated by FM modulation are sent through a wave folder circuit to add additional overtones, producing a distinctive sound. This module is important in determining the basic character of the sound of volca modular.
- Functions: This section consists of two function (envelope) generators. In addition to an ADH generator with attack, hold, and release, there's a Rise-Fall generator, also known as a slope generator, which not only applies time-varying change to the sound but also lets you patch the end trigger out back into the trigger in as a loop, making it usable as a VCO or LFO.
- Woggle: This is a random signal generator containing a sample & hold circuit that uses pink noise as its source. Two outputs are provided, allowing it to o

Korg has been a leading name in synthesizers since the 1970s, establishing itself with the creation of classic analogue synthesizers like the MS-20 and ARP Odyssey. The MS-20, introduced in 1978, became a beloved instrument for its gritty, aggressive sound and semi-modular architecture, making it a favourite in genres from punk to techno. Korg’s recreation of the ARP Odyssey brought a legendary duophonic synthesizer from the 1970s back to life, preserving its unique sound while adding modern features. These early instruments set the stage for Korg’s reputation as a forward-thinking company with a deep respect for analogue synthesis.
In more recent years, Korg has continued to innovate with the Korg M1, which defined the sound of the late 80s and early 90s with its digital synthesis and built-in sequencer, and the Korg Volca Series, offering compact and affordable analogue and digital instruments that allow musicians to build portable modular setups. The Korg Minilogue and Monologue have also made waves, providing analogue sound with modern features like programmability and built-in effects. Across decades, Korg has balanced accessibility with innovation, creating instruments that cater to professionals and newcomers alike.

This synthesiser embraces the modular synthesis philosophy, allowing for endless sonic possibilities through a system of interchangeable modules. With its patchable design, you can create customised signal paths and experiment with sound generation, modulation, and processing. Ideal for sound designers and electronic musicians, modular synthesers encourage creativity and exploration, enabling you to build a unique setup tailored to your artistic vision.
A synthesizer, often abbreviated as synth, is an electronic musical instrument that generates and manipulates sound electronically. Synthesizers create sound through various methods, including subtractive synthesis, additive synthesis, frequency modulation synthesis, and wavetable synthesis, among others. They typically feature oscillators to produce raw waveforms, filters to sculpt the timbre, envelopes to shape the sound’s amplitude, and modulation sources to add movement and complexity.
Synthesizers offer a vast range of sounds, from classic analog tones to futuristic digital textures, and are used in a wide array of musical genres, from electronic and pop to rock and film scoring. With their versatility and expressive capabilities, synthesizers are essential tools for musicians, producers, and sound designers seeking to explore and create innovative sonic landscapes.
The Korg Volca series is a collection of compact, portable synthesisers and grooveboxes designed for electronic music production and live performance. Known for their affordability, intuitive interfaces, and portability, the Volca series is highly popular among both beginners and experienced musicians. Each Volca model focuses on a specific synthesis or music production approach, such as analogue synthesis, FM synthesis, drum machines, or sample playback. Despite their small size, these devices are powerful and can be used individually or chained together to create larger, interconnected setups.
Popular models include the Volca Keys, which is a polyphonic analogue synth great for chords and leads; the Volca Bass, which excels at producing deep bass lines; and the Volca Beats, an analogue drum machine inspired by vintage rhythm boxes. Other models like the Volca FM offer FM synthesis, while the Volca Sample allows users to import and manipulate their own samples. Each unit is battery-powered and features built-in speakers, making them truly portable for on-the-go music creation. They also come equipped with MIDI and sync options, enabling them to integrate with other gear in a studio or live setup. The Volca series is known for delivering a lot of versatility and value in a small, hands-on package.
