You asked for it and here it is: Korg volca keys! G.W. Childs is back with this hardware-driven, in-action course to explain everything about this little synth and all the big sounds you can make with it!
G.W. Childs is an audio & video production powerhouse whose credits span the gamut from work with the US Department of Defense to soundtracks with LucasArts and remixes for James Brown & Ray Charles.
Korg's volca family of synths is one of the coolest things to happen to electronic music in a long time. In this course, by G.W. Childs, you the learn all the features packed into this awesome little box and how to integrate it (hook it up) with other volcas and everything else in your live performance and studio setup.
You start off with a tour of the volca keys hardware interface. Then, GW takes you through all of the recording and editing functions. Next, you discover all the key synthesis elements like volca's VCOs, EG, VCF, LFO. From there, you learn the effects including Delay, Flux, Motion Sequencing and more. In the last section of tutorials, you see how volca keys works in the studio and on stage with its MIDI and CV capabilities.
So learn everything you need to know to make the little Korg volca keys a big part of your music production rig! Hardware rocks!
Great course. The breakdown of the various topics into small parts really helped. My one gripe is the MIDI chapter. I spend more time trying to connect music devices than playing them. I wish the course covered not just Ableton, but GarageBand, Logic and some basics about connecting (maybe there's a course somewhere on AskVideo on that!)
