Nick Batt, via sonicstate, takes a look at the new Korg Volca Bass – a three-oscillator analog mini synth.
Can a $150 analog synthesizer deliver the goods? Check out the review – and then let us know what you think!

Great review, as always. I thought this was more of a 303 clone, but it obviously does a lot more..
Loved the review, Nick! This little unit sure packs a lovely sound – clearly a must-buy (the trio, I mean). Looking forward to the last one in the series.
Great review, as always.
Why did Korg forget to add the (assumably easy to implement) accent function from the 303 and xoxbox? It’s just as important as the glide function for getting those acid basslines. Can only hope they update the OS to include accent at some point.
Looks excellent though for the money.
Thanks glad you likes, my favourite so far for sure.
…so far. i bet you’re saving the best for last (i sure hope so)
I’ve been waiting for this review – can’t wait to get mine and glad it’s Nick’s favourite.
Some advice for Nick though; the Star Bar in Glasgow’s Tradeston does a 3 course meal for £3.50.
they will sell like hot cakes, but this time next year when people are bored with them they will be on ebay nearly half the price
Because that always happens with analog synths…..
This time next year I’ll still be watching YouTube videos of Japanese dudes playing theirs.
I said that about the Monotribe and was dead wrong.
Great review Nick. Look forward to have a play with this little beast. At least being able to mute the vcos means you can record and mix them separately.
