Volca Beats : + and -

9 years ago

I like

- creative tool to take with you anywhere you go

- sound of kick, hat

- play with stutter (and claves :-)

- record stutter/part

- build quality

To improve

- the big issue is the lack of control of the part volume level . a) you can't save it b) by default the part level balance is terrible and c) some parts are too low (e.g. crash is useless)

- record mute status when saving

- decay on tom, rather useless pod

- note sensitive (at least via midi)

- USB power

For me snare sound is okay, despite critics.
