The Korg Volca Keys is a true analogue synthesiser that packs a surprising amount of power into a compact and portable unit. Designed with beginners in mind, it offers a clear, accessible layout with intuitive controls. Whether you're layering lead sounds, crafting evolving textures, or experimenting with loops, Volca Keys makes analogue sound design immediate and fun.
Its three-voice polyphonic structure means you can play chords, harmonies or detuned unison leads, while the classic-style filter and built-in delay help shape your sound into something truly expressive. Battery-powered with built-in speakers, it's an ideal take-anywhere music companion.
The built-in 16-step sequencer lets you record on the fly, with motion sequencing to automate knob movements. Combined with MIDI and sync options, Volca Keys integrates effortlessly into any modern setup while keeping the charm and depth of a true analogue synth.
With three voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), a resonant filter, LFO, and envelope generator, Volca Keys offers everything you need to build rich, layered patches. Play lush chords, hard-edged leads or quirky experimental tones—its versatility belies its size.
Choose from six oscillator configurations including polyphonic, unison, and ring-modulated combinations, all from a single dial. This lets you explore a wide palette of sounds with zero complexity—ideal for newcomers and fast experimentation.
Add warmth and movement to your sound with the onboard delay. With pitch warping echoes that mimic vintage tape machines, it’s perfect for spacey leads or rhythmic textures.
Record melodies or loops in real time using the built-in touch keyboard. Store up to eight patterns in memory, and bring your sequences to life with motion sequencing that captures knob changes during playback.
Active Step and Flux functions let you break free from traditional 16-step grids, introducing rhythmic variation and natural-feeling phrasing. Ideal for both loop-based production and live improvisation.
Volca Keys includes MIDI input and sync jacks for tight integration with other gear, DAWs, or mobile apps. Self-tuning ensures pitch stability without manual intervention, even after power-up.
Compact, lightweight, and powered by six AA batteries, the Volca Keys is made for mobile music making. A built-in speaker means you can play without headphones or extra gear—ideal for travelling musicians or jamming on the go.
