Korg Volca Bass Analog Bass Synthesizer & Sequencer

The Volca Bass from Korg is an Analog, vintage inspired Bass Creator / Sequencer, for all your vintage bass line needs. It's analog, it's fast, it runs off batteries. Nice! Aggressive sounds that stand up to the drums; fat sounds that support the rhythm; funky sounds that generate a groove - the Volca Bass is an analog groove box that has what you need for a wide range of bass lines.  Although simple in structure, the analog sound engine has an unmistakable presence with subtle nuances that cannot be reproduced by a digital simulation; it's a great choice for acid house and many other styles of music.
