Joining the volca kick and volca beats is a third and unique rhythm synth from the volca series.

Based on a simple trigger waveform, it uses a ‘wave folder’ and overdrive to add harmonics and distortion, followed by a waveguide resonator effect that brings the sound to life. The six-part DSP synthesizer engine has been designed with a completely different philosophy from conventional rhythm units and generates a wide range of different and unexpected sounds. And of course, you can play back those sounds from the volca-style sequencer.

By adding these distinctive sounds to your beats, you will revolutionize your performances and productions.

• KORG VOLCA DRUM digital percussion synthesizer with a 6-part x 2-layer structure. The volca drum creates its drum sounds using DSP-powered analog modeling. Each of the six parts has two layers and imposes no rules or restrictions; all parts have the same specifications.
• Distinctive sound powered by a newly designed DSP engine. Each part consists of two layers. For each layer, you can choose one of the five oscillator waveform types, as well as one of three pitch modulator and amplifier EG types, each optimized for drum sounds. Layer parameters can be edited individually or simultaneously, and you can also use the two layers to produce the same sound, achieving a thicker tone.
• Waveguide Resonator that adds rich resonance.
• 16-step sequencer with a wide range of parameter automation. You can easily create patterns using the 16 buttons, each corresponding to one of the 16 steps. In addition to step recording, the sequencer also supports real-time recording, allowing you to build a pattern while playing back in loop. Up to 16 sequences can be linked to create 256-step patterns.
• ACTIVE STEP allows you to replace steps for each part, skipping steps during sequence playback.
• The Slice function precisely divides a step to achieve double-time.
• An accent function that can be adjusted across 16 levels to create strong hits on specific steps.
• A convenient "Choke" function allows you to specify groups for each part, determining which of several parts takes priority when they sound at the same time. Parts for which you have enabled the overlap function will not sound simultaneously; only the part with the lower number will be heard.
• Two random functions expand your inspiration and allow you to randomly change the sound (layer) of the selected part, or randomly vary the step, division, accent, and active step settings of the selected part. By using the random functions during a performance, you can add unexpected changes and developments to the sound and pattern.
• New design with a high-brightness LCD screen.
• Synchronized performance with other units in the volca and electribe series, and with your DAW.
• Enjoy it wherever you want; it runs on batteries and has a built-in speaker.
• Free music software pack from Izotope, including “Ozone Elements,” which allows you to not only create songs but also control it using artificial intelligence, “Skoove,” which helps you improve your keyboard skills, the “Reason Lite” DAW software, as well as software synthesizers from Korg and other brands.
