Volca Sample New Generation : Not what I'd hoped.

Pros:

- Fun, straightforward synth which is easy to get started with.

- Good looking, attractive design.

- Lightweight and able to take battery power

Cons:

- Very limited onboard memory

- I have been unable to get my Volca Sample2 to accept samples from either the Volca Librarian software or Vosyr.

- Samples that do load are made noisey in the process.

- The pots for the bass/treble filter knobs (above the screen) wobble when you move them. I have been reassured by other Volca owners that this is normal, however having looked at a stripdown of the unit online, I note they are surface mounted components. Movement is not good for solder joints, so I expect this movement may lead to breakage over time.

Overall, it's fine for what it is but I was expecting a better product Korg, and my frustrations with the desktop software have lead me to finally give up and return it.
