Volca Kick Teardown

A little handy synth device, posting some pictures in a slideshow. These devices are famous since they can be customized, they have a lot of “Hack points” to extend their usability!

The device is based upon an analog resonator (basically an low pass filter with a lot of resonance). It is digitally controlled which means the parameters can be altered from an external MIDI device. It also has a sequencer that can record knob movements! For even better photos without web compression, visit this dropbox folder:

As with the famous Roland 303, there is always some room for extra creativity by extending the usability of the device beyond its intended use. This video is a great example!
