You should have a look at the Arturia Keystep. It's what I use to play my Volcas and the Monotribe. In my opinion it is the best compact MIDI keyboard, having real MIDI ports, plus USB and analog (CV/Gate/Sync) connectivity. The analog sync can even be set to Korg/Volca. Its sequencer and ...

If I were you, I'd get the Q25 and the beatstep pro. Don't get more synths until you understand what you are doing with the volcas. This way you will be able to play directly, and sequence them, and wrap your head around MIDI as well. Ah, bollox. I cancelled the Q25! No worries, doesn't matter what ...

Brilliant, thank you, I understand it a bit more now, almost! When you say 'a device..' to drive both at once, what exactly would that be? You would need a multi-track sequencer or a keyboard with zoned/split-keyboard functionality (which is where the keyboard is divided into two or more sections ...

Using midi keyboard with FM and Beats

Another (probably) stupid question from a noob :) I've got the chance of picking up an Alesis Q25 Keyboard controller for cheap. My question is how do I connect to the FM and Beats? From what I can tell they all have the same 5 pin female socket so I assume I need a male to male cable? And if that's ...

Mixer Question - Noob Alert!

Complete and utter noob here so my apologies for stupid questions. I've bought the Volca FM and Beats and want to hook up to my pc. Would I be okay using something like the Behringer Xenyx Q502USB - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Premium-Preamp-Compressor-British-Interface/dp/B008O516JW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8 ...
