Powerful, punchy, and full of attitude, the Korg Volca Bass is an essential groovebox for producers craving rich, resonant analogue bass. Whether you're crafting thunderous techno lines or acid-style squelches, its triple-oscillator architecture and signature filter deliver unmistakable character.
Its streamlined control layout, Electribe-inspired sequencer, and tweakable sound engine make it ideal both for beginners exploring synthesis and seasoned users looking for hands-on, portable inspiration. Thanks to its compact form, battery power, and built-in speaker, it’s perfect for music creation anywhere.
Whether used solo or synced with the rest of the Volca series, the Volca Bass delivers raw analogue energy in a flexible and accessible package.
The Volca Bass features three fully analogue oscillators that can be used independently or in combination, offering versatile options for creating fat unison tones, polyphonic textures, or interwoven sequenced parts. It's a surprisingly capable source of lead and melodic parts too.
Its filter is derived from Korg’s legacy of analogue synthesis and provides a wide tonal palette. Bright and cutting or warm and round, this filter sings—especially when resonance is pushed into gritty, acid-flavoured distortion.
With a single VCF, VCA, LFO, and envelope generator, the Volca Bass keeps things intuitive, making it ideal for learning the fundamentals of subtractive synthesis. It’s as educational as it is inspiring.
Inspired by the Electribe series, the built-in step sequencer allows note input via the touch keyboard and supports motion sequencing. With memory for eight patterns, individual sequencing for each oscillator, and improvisational tools like Active Step and Slide, it's designed for live tweaking and evolving loops.
Featuring both sync in/out and MIDI In, the Volca Bass slots seamlessly into studio setups or live rigs. Whether it's jamming with other Volcas, syncing to DAWs, or being triggered from a MIDI controller, connectivity is covered.
With a built-in speaker and the ability to run on batteries, the Volca Bass lets you sketch out ideas on the go. It's equally at home in your studio, on stage, or on your sofa.
