Volca Bass : Great little machine!

The volca bass totally surpasses my expectations by leaps and bounds. It's an extremely versatile machine for it's size and really packs a lot in. There are specific dials for each desired control to give you great accuracy in weaving your desired sounds, as well as great function settings to toy with, like active step, which I personally use to create much faster hard-hitting techno loops. Teaming VCO's together gives the volca bass a much richer sound than I imagined it would have.

Pros:

The vast amount of possibilities for such a small price.

The built in speaker & battery power options that make this synth 100% portable and useful for people who want to make music on the go without a laptop - great for bus journeys etc with headphones.

3x VCO's that can be used individually OR in tandem for even more diverse sounds.

Built-in sequencer. Hook this machine up through MIDI / sync and sequence like mad with the rest of your studio. Let it play while you toy with the sounds for some off the cuff deep-house and techno vibes.

Cons:

One positive about this machine is it's size - it's small and portable, but with that comes even smaller dials. It can talk a bit of time to get the tempo dial to be at the exact number you want, for example.

Other than that - no cons. You're getting what you pay for and it works well!
