Korg Forums

Sorry, already answered in this Forum:

9 volts DC, center pin +

which matches the Korg Volca, which I have.

I've lost the power supply for my Wavedrum.

The Wavedrum manual specifies 9-volt DC input, but doesn't say whether the center pin is +, or -.

I have several Korg 9-volt wallwarts, but I dare not ...

OOPS --

I had this problem six years ago (!!!!), and found the "fix" -- partial, but it's good enough. I posted it here, too . . . .

I've had my MicroKorg XL+ for several years. It works fine, running its own sounds from its own keyboard.

I want to use it to control VST synths. I have an M-Audio "Uno" MIDI-to-USB ada ...

An interesting tutorial on creating melodic (that is, pitched) voices with the Volca Drum synth engine:

FWIW (this is very late) --

The WaveDrum is an interesting instrument. However, it has some problems, given what you want to do with it:

a) It's _one_ instrument, with a limited number of soun ...

From the manual:

"each part has two identical layers and the waveguide resonator is shared for all parts."
Read the manual! Why people don't do that?

I could experiment, but it's faster to ask:

. . . On the VD, can I have different Waveguide settings (Decay/ Body/ Tune) for each Part ?

. . . Or do all Parts use the same Waveguide settings ?

check Cuckoo on YouTube, he has long and well explained tutorial.

I will watch it again, and again . . . . there's a good index.

To be honest you should learn what the stuff does and you ...

I just bought a Volca Drum, after watching lots of videos and reading reviews. It seems to make interesting sounds, and there's enough freedom in the sequencer to keep m ...

A question that I can't figure out from the demos I've seen (and I can't figure out the "user manual" at all):

. . . Can I have a 12-step pattern for the bass drum,

. . . and a 10-step ...

FWIW (this post includes mention of gear I haven't used) --

I've used my Wavedrum with an EV ZXA1 powered monitor, 8" woofer, and it sounds pretty good. That speaker takes AC power, and a lot ...

I've modified the "Rhubarb" patch (a plucked-string sound) so that the volume, and filter cutoff, are both velocity-sensitive, and the "delay" mix is 0%:

. . . It's not a bad ko ...

Oops - I put this post in the wrong thread -- it belongs here . . . .

After a day with Psalm37's patches loaded onto my MicroKorg XL+ (yes, they work fine!):

The bass patches (both mono and ...

Thank you!

Interesting that the XL and XL+ have identical engines (I assume that's true, if the patches are interchangeable).

I'll have to check out the sounds on the XL sometime . . .
