Introducing the Korg Volca FM2, the next-generation synthesizer that builds on the immense popularity of the original Volca FM. This updated model takes everything you loved about its predecessor and enhances it significantly. With double the voices, a wide range of effects including a brand-new reverb, and expanded connectivity options, the Volca FM2 is designed for musicians who want to explore the depths of sound creation.
At the heart of the Volca FM2 is its powerful 6-operator synth engine, which provides you with a rich 6-voice polyphony. This allows you to play complex chords, sequence intricate melodies, or even arpeggiate your sounds seamlessly. Whether you’re a seasoned musician or just starting, the internal sequencer enables you to control external devices through MIDI using a TRS to MIDI jack (sold separately).
The 16-step looping sequencer is a standout feature, allowing you to record your performances in real-time as you play. This means you can capture the nuances of your playing style and make adjustments on the fly, thanks to the incorporation of motion sequencing. This feature truly brings your performances to life, enabling dynamic changes in the sound as you play.
One of the most exciting aspects of the Volca FM2 is its compatibility with the iconic Yamaha DX7 sound engine. The Volca FM perfectly reproduces the DX7’s sound, featuring six operators and a total of 32 algorithms. This means that you can easily load in SYS-EX/SYX patches from the DX7 and get started right away. The familiar sounds of the classic synthesizer are now at your fingertips with the Volca FM2.
Upon receiving your Volca FM2, you unlock access to a fantastic range of free tools to elevate your music-making experience. The included software bundle features Izotope’s “Ozone Elements” for professional song creation and mastering, powered by cutting-edge AI technology. Additionally, “Skoove” offers interactive lessons to help you enhance your keyboard playing skills, while “Reason Lite” provides a versatile DAW environment for your compositions. You will also find the Synthmata online editor and many other software synths from Korg and other renowned developers, opening a world of sonic possibilities.
