After watching different vids with Volca & FX from Manojuno, Tony Horgan, Arrazable, Maria Calfa-DePauls, BakaOscillator,... I thought it would be a nice idea to use FX I normally use for guitar.
Would be glad to get comments on which effects you like :-)

VOLCA BASS:
1. simple chords to demonstrate
2. chords tweaked & looped (Looper synced to Volca Beats MIDI out mod)
3. single note tweaked (over the loop)

Ambient Guitar Music #1 [Soundscape, Looping, Chill Out, Lounge]

Although I am playing guitar for years, it'm still fascinated

how big and atmospheric a guitar with ambient effects can sound.

I played a Godin guitar, some pedals and a looper 

(no overdubs, no synths, no mastering used in this track) 

Additional info & tips on the sounds are in the video.

Hope you’ll enjoy my peaceful chill out guitar music :-)

This time a bit noisy because the Outputlevel of the mixer was driven too low into the cam.

Korg Volca Beats MIDI Out mod

Two days ago a good friend of mine added MIDI-Out to my Volca-Beats. Too bad that I forgot taking pictures when the Volca was opened... Next Time - when adding individual Audio-Outs - I surely will make photos.

The wires go thru the battery case of the Beats and the MIDI-Out-is housed in an old MIDI-Thru-Box (MT-5).  This item routes in normal life 3 MIDI-Ins to 5 MIDI-Outs, but now the 5th Midi-Out is the Output of the Volca Beats!

If I connect the MIDI-Out of the Volca Beats with one of the MIDI-Ins, I have 4 Midi-Outs to sync to the Volca Beats. At the moment I only use it for the Boomerang III Looper, but in the future I will try it with my other Synths & Sequencers (Jomox Xbase 09, Analogue Solutions Europa, Roland Juno 60 with Midi, Waldorf Pulse I & Microwave I , Doepfer MS-404, Nord Modular Rack ....

 

Thanks to Marcbert for Soldering The MIDI-Out!
