So far, only a leaked image. Perhaps more to come from superbooth...

This is probably their most gimmicky Volca. I'm not really hearing anything that the original Volca Bass couldnt do.

Sounds very 303 ......... and then some with the overdrive. Do we need another 303 sounding synth in 2019? Not personally. But this will no doubt be very affordable & appealing to those the want a bit more Acid in their lives. It does sound nice & beefy, especially with that sub osc.
I have the Volca Bass, which pays homage to the 303 by looks only (and some features). And I appreciate that this does a bit of the same with the features (like the addition of accent), but it overall still sounds like its own thing.Faastwalker wrote: ↑09 May 2019Sounds very 303 ......... and then some with the overdrive.

I'm pretty set with ABL3 for 303 emulation, and if it came to an analogue hardware emulation, there are already some really good ones out there to consider. So it's cool to see stuff that fills the same niche/genre while offering a sound a bit unique in comparison.

It’s not using a vacuum tube but it’s a chip simulating vacuum tube processing

Nutube, similar to a conventional vacuum tube, has an anode grid filament structure, and operates exactly as a triode vacuum tube. Also similar to a vacuum tube, it creates the same characteristic rich overtones. By applying their vacuum fluorescent display technology, Noritake Itron Corp., a Noritake Co. Ltd affiliated company, have devised a structure which achieves substantial power saving, miniaturization, and quality improvements when compared with a conventional vacuum tube./

That BASS tone at 3:47. (Batts video). Sold. a whole lotta rectifying going on in that thing. Good Jesus.
I love my Aira TB-3 and I love it's architecture/modulation abilities.
But Volca has that Step Sequencer as well. It'll be some good 'Head-to-Head.'
The Volca line has stepped up! and... $200.
Pre-ordering is now OPEN.
