Volca Bass Patches (13)
A simple recreation of the pad sound in "Emotinium (Secret Mix)" by Roy of the Ravers. The sequence matches what's played on the track, but condensed to fit in a 16-step sequence, so you'll have to match the tempo yourself.
Sounds like the sound effect they use on the simpsons when something gets irradiated. Play the M2 key (A#1) when octave is set to 3. Adjust peak to your liking. It just adds more bass.
Hold down FUNC button and turn LFO rate knob until the display reads "rt.04"
In the recording, saturation, a delay send, and reverb are applied.
The quick Attack and decay of the EG resemble a kick drum among the looping bass. Mess with the slide edit mode on the first four steps for variations in the "kick". I added a simple reverb and filter delay to the audio sample.
It sounds like when Mario skids to a stop in Mario 3 for NES. Cutoff has to be just right so make fine adjustments as necessary.
Play with factory sequence #8. Whipped up by my friend Yohsuke when I was setting up some other equipment.
Modulate the cutoff knob over many notes to do a cool build up effect. In the audio sample, I toggle "Amp Eg On"
Press and hold Oct 3 F note. Might require some very fine tuning of the cutoff knob.
I create a 7 chord by tuning each oscillator separately and playing in unison mode. Slight LFO on cutoff.
Volca Keys Patches (7)
This is an approximation of the lead off of the 1977 track Showroom Dummies from the Trans-Europe Express album
Manually turn the sustain knob up and down while playing to change the pitch.
Hold down the the C note (m5 key). I got this sound from using the randomize button.
The thing that gives it a tom sound is the EG with a short delay/release acting on the VCO pitch, making the pitch fall quickly with each note.
Play lower C note on the keyboard. One bummer is that the pitch doesn't really dive if you sequence this.
