New Modification for Volca Beats & Kiwi Technics Mods

3/6/2014

These days I don't get as excited at new releases of gear at the annual trade shows so much but really like when someone reverse engineers a product to compliment or sometimes even improve an existing device.

The time and effort required tom do this is massive and requires patience and some creative solutions at times.

A good example of this is the work of Kiwi Technics for dragging several vintage synthesizers into the 21st century with their various user installed upgrades for the Roland Juno 106 and JX-3P along with the Korg Polysix.  Although these have been around for a while bar the Juno update which is fairly recent.

 Another upcoming user installed update I'm looking forward to is for the very popular Volca of portable analog device from Korg. The modification kit is the  Amazing Machines Volcano interface which adds midi out to the device. so you can use it as a sequencer for other gear. 

This is great but nothing new as not long after the initial release some clever people at Koma Electronics worked out what you can hack on the Volca Beats.

The impressive part of this 3rd party midi kit is that it will also enable you to record Parameter Automation directly from your KORG Volca to your External MIDI Sequencer or DAW!

This is big news indeed and the developer has indicated that the kit will be released next Monday March 10. Find out more via the Amazing Machines Facebook Page..

    Drox’s DJing style can be described as heavily influenced by electro, raw machine music, industrial and bass music in all its many forms. His sound embodies a spontaneous charm that nods to early 90s Detroit machine music, rich IDM sounds, and dystopian sci-fi tones.

    ​​
    In 2023 Drox has launched a new vinyl label: Delphic Iris in collaboration with Berlin based 16 Faces, as an outlet for their productions launched in both Berlin, London and Sydney.
