Needs more voices and an editor for FM patching.

after buying the sample i was really curious which volca to get next, and honestly as much as i loved each one i felt it would be too limiting as the sounds would get repetitive fast.

Super happy with this FM! def gonna pick me up one when it comes out. i just wish they went ahead and made a mixer volca! i can't believe they didnt yet!

and yes, someone should def make an editor for the FM patches... it's all standard dx7 sysex stuff aparently (not like i understand what that is) but seems from tatsuki? oh man i forgot the guy's name from korg, that making an editor shouldn't be a problem for the community (at least for people that know how to do that kindof stuff... def not me!)
APC80 - kaoss pad quad - Launchpad - Launch control - an iPad Air 2 with a slew of useless gimmicky apps - electribe 2 free! - and future volca owner.

Personally, an FM is not for me....mid 80's FM is boring and harsh. I will wait for a real release to see if it add any value.

Since the Volca Fm loads DX7 Patches, I believe the free VST Dexed will work as an editor. I think we will be able create patches in the daw and then export a sysex file to load to the volca fm this way.

........I hope :)
