Korg VOLCADRUM Physical Modeling Drum Synthesizer

Whether it's analog, PCM, or FM, VOLCADRUM is all about unique sound and sonic character. This digital percussion synthesizer is based on a simple trigger waveform, wave folder and overdrive are used to add overtones and distortion, and then a waveguide resonator effect brings the sound to life. The six-part DSP synth engine was designed with a completely different philosophy than conventional drum machines, and generates a wide range of unexpectedly different sounds. And of course, you can play those sounds from the volca-style sequencer. Transform your performances and productions with these distinctive sounds added to your rhythms.
