KORG VOLCA Keys, Bass & Keys AMBIENT PSYCHODELIC JAM w guitar




Korg Volca Beats, Bass and Keys on an ambient psychedelic jam with guitar. I recorded without overdubs and mastering, it is just one take. I only used the analog Korg synthesizers with analog effects and my electric guitar with additional FX. 

Volca Keys signal left channel goes into the MFB-Filterbox and both channels at 3:49 into Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere (Rotary FX). Volca Keys plays the bassline.

Volca Bass signal gets into Behringer's Time Machine (analog delay). Volca Bass is used for the 1-bar synth sequence.

Volca Beats signal gets straight into the Mixer, a Behringer Xenyx 802.

I used SEND FX  for all three Volcas: 
EHX Memory Man Deluxe Tap Delay 1100 (with self-made Tremolo in the FX-Loop) into Danelectro Spring King (Hybrid Spring Reverb) into Rocktron's Hypnotic Flange for a soft Stereo FX.

Guitar Godin LGX-SA gets into 
Volume Pedal GCB80
Line6 POD2 (only Comp as FX used)
Ibanez ES2 Echo Shifter 
TC Electronic SCF Chorus
Neunaber Wet Stereo Reverb (with Wet Shimmer Reverb Update 1.0), great reverb!

The video was filmed with Leica M 240 & Summilux-M 50mm /f1,4 ASPH @ 2,8
and Canon EOS 5D MK III & EF40L / f 4.0 @ 19mm/4,8 
I recorded the sound with the Canon straight from the mixer.

KORG VOLCA beats keys &bass: SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE (chill-out jazzy dub ...





Korg Volca Series on a chill-out jazzy dub jam with guitar: SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE. Recorded without overdubs and mastering, just one take. I only used the analog Korg synthesizers with analog effects and electric guitar. It is my first guitar recording for about 10 years...

The right channel of the Volca Keys signal goes into MFB-Filterbox and both channels at 1:47 into Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere (Rotary FX). The Volca Keys plays the bassline.

The Volca Bass signal gets into Behringer's Time Machine (analog delay). Volca Bass plays the chords.

The Volca Beats signal and my guitar (Godin LGX-SA) get straight into the Mixer (Behringer Xenyx 802)

SEND FX used for all instruments:
EHX Memory Man Deluxe Tap Delay into Danelectro Spring King (Spring Reverb) into Rocktron's Hypnotic Flange (for a soft Stereo FX).


filmed with Leica M 240 & Summilux-M 50mm /f1,4 ASPH @ 2,5 (sorry, this time I didn't notice that I recorded the hole time out of focus... )
and Canon EOS 5D MK III & EF135L / f 2.0 @ 2,8

Korg Volca KEYS, BASS &BEATS / ACID ROCK / Smoke on the water



My second video with the Volca Series from Korg.
This time performing classic Rock mixed with acid:  Deep Purple's Smoke on the water VS Black Sabbath's Iron Man. I played those songs with distorted guitars in my younger years.

The Volca version was recorded live without overdubs and mastering. I only used the analog Korg synthesizers with additional analog effects.

The Volca Bass signal gets (at the end into Shockwave Distortion for more acidness) into the analog delay Behringer Time Machine.
The Volca Keys signal gets into Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere, a cool tube driven rotary effect.
 The Volca Beats signal gets straight into the Behringer Xenyx 802 Mixer

I used SEND FX for all instruments:
Electro Harmonics Memory Man Deluxe Tap Delay into the hybrid spring reverb Danelectro Spring King into Rocktron's Hypnotic Flange for a soft wide stereo effect.


I filmed with a Leica M 240 & Summilux-M 50mm /f1,4 ASPH @ f 2,5
and Canon EOS 5D MK III & EF135L / f 2.0 @ f 2,8.
The sound was recorded with the Canon EOS 5D straight from the mixer.

KORG Volca BEATS, Volca BASS & Volca KEYS recording just after unboxing



The first video I made with all the three Volcas.

After unboxing and a simple programming I recorded the track live without overdubs and mastering. I only used those little analog synths and only analog FX. 


Volca Bass signal gets into Behringer's Time Machine (analog delay)
Volca Keys signal gets into Rocktron's Hypnotic Flange for a soft and wider stereo FX
Volca Beats signal gets straight into the Behringer Xenyx 802-Mixer

The video was filmed with Leica M 240 & Summilux-M 50mm /f1,4 ASPH @f 2.8
and Canon EOS 5D MK III & EF 17-40L / f 4.0  @ 40mm / f4.0


The sound was directly recorded with the Canon EOS 5D straight from the mixer

Here are the pics of the new family members :-)

Got the three wonderful analog synths as a birthday present from my girl-friend about two weeks ago.
I mounted them on wood. It is now better to play them because of the less weight.

Nearly all of my FX-Pedals are bigger than the Volcas (Behringer Time Machine, Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere, Danelectro Spring King, Rocktron Hypnotic Flange)

And with the wood they don't look like toys anymore ;-)
