"*Sample input only possible via special iOS app"

Not a problem for me, but it is a bit weird. I'd love to see an input, but the A/D chip might raise the price beyond their selling point. Though I don't see why they can't implement desktops and android.

MIDI IN only just like other Volcas.

The iOS app is probably some wireless thing, Korg's website mentions being able to clock sync wirelessly.

Computers are so 20th century, dood

Also, as small as this is, and the screen is, I really don't see it working all that great as a sampler itself. I think it is designed more to load some nice samples then just tweak the h**l out of them.

Not that I wouldn't love for it to have a sampling ability. OH s**t how dope would it be if it used the iPhone or iPads screen to adjust the samples you took on the box itself ?!

Korg needs to get with it... I didn't even know people still bought iOS devices.

</troll>

Yea, it looks pretty awesome (hopefully for the same price as the other volcas) EXCEPT for that one caveat. If the app works for android as well, it's slightly better, but still kind of shitty. I wonder if it comes with software you can install on a normal computer?

Pretty freakin' dope bro

. but seriously, I think that's what it does...which is definitely cool.

How do you get the samples from the iPad to the Volca?
Also, does this one have any features the electribe don't? (can't access the Korg web page for some reason...)

h**l, i already HAVE a stupid iPhone (for work) and i still am put off by this requirement. a card reader would have made a lot more sense.
a shame, as it sounds OK and looks like a hoot to mess with. sort of a one-trick wonder but handy and tiny.

ah well, they can't all be winners - even Korg the Mighty Midget-Magicmaker makes some blunders these days.

i guess they figured an onboard line-in IC preamp and A/D converter was too much for it. So far the public largely disagrees with that decision.
anyone want to bet on if or when we'll get a mk2 volcasample with the necessary analog i/o onboard?

They had to make it different from the new Electribe Sampler too...

Do you remember my dummy post looking for something like that? http://www.vintagesynth.com/forum/viewt ... 19&t=63397

I feel like in a way you were basically asking for an MPC500.

I wish I could get my hands on the Volca Sample NOW.

my words were..step sequencer x0x, with SD card, simple, minimal and portable.
if korg would just added SD card support...and not that 65 seconds in 100 available samples, transferable at modem speed !
