Description

Now Available in a pack with my new Volca Bass device!

This is a MAX 4 Live MIDI device that I made that gives you individual Volume and PCM control of your Korg Volca Beats using the Akai APC, Ableton PUSH or any generic MIDI controller.

You can also control Stutter Time and Depth, Tom Decay, Hat Grain, CL Hat and OP Hat Decay too so much of the editing can be done either with a mouse or using a controller without wearing out your Volca Beats!

The Volca does not transmit or receive velocity information so you can not add accents to beats using the machine alone but, you can use this device to record or draw Volume parameters using Envelopes in Ableton Live!

Each control is Auto Mapped to the APC 40 (and should be using PUSH) so you can simply drag it onto the MIDI track you wish to use with your Volca Beats and away you go!

Its a good idea to use the 'External Instrument' device in the Instrument category in Live, simply drag this onto a MIDI track set your 'MIDI To' to channel 10 (default Volca Beats setting) and then choose the audio input on your computer or sound card that you have the Volca Beats Audio out plugged into.

You will also need to have a MDI cable connecting your computer (via a MIDI Interface) from MIDI OUT to the Volca beats MIDI IN.

I hope all Volca Beats users find this device fun and useful I'm sure you will, its totally free but donations via paypal are very welcome using the link :)

Enjoy

Michael
