The Volca Beats os a three true-analog synthesizers with built-in sequencers to generate the ultimate analog leads, basses or rhythms.
Even today, more than thirty years after the age dominated by analog synthesizers, we just can't let go of the sound of analog rhythm machines. Those thick sounds have the power to stand up to guitar and acoustic drums, and are still indispensable for track-making or live performance.
The volca beats gives you those analog drums plus the easy-to-use step sequencer of the Electribe: it lets you turn your inspiration into reality and generate beats with the best high quality sounds.
