Hi, I purchased a Korg Volca Beats a few months ago as I loved the sound of the analogue drums. I also have a couple of Monotrons and a Monotribe and I am beggining to start recording them into my DAW through an Audio Interface (Focusrite Scarlett 2i2).
The problem is that I am very unsure on how to record the Volca Beats through an audio interface, as it only has Sync in/out and Midi In ports.
I had a browse on the internet but couldn't find much to help me.

Can I use these to record into the audio interface or do I need to do it a different way entirely, or alternatively is it not possible to record the Volca Beats into my DAW at all?

You could use the headphone out.

Can anyone confirm this works? I'm interested in buying a Volca Beats and would definitely want to be able to record through my Scarlett 2i2. Many thanks

Yes, use the headphone output, and I can confirm that yes, it definitely works.

Hi!

You have to plug your Volca Beats line out (headphones) to your soundcard.

Then, you must configure I/O options.

You also create a MIDI Drumrack and insert 8 Externar Instrument on the first 8 pads. You have to know that every part of the Volca Beats (kick, snare, clap, etc.) is assigned to a note, so you could configurate them to assign every sound for every pad

I'm going to search a video where it's explained better

Cheers!
