Stylus(ish) for Korg Volca?

Post by MoreThanQuinn »

Hey Korg Volca Forums,

First post here from a hopefully soon-to-be Volca Keys owner.

I was curious if any of you use a stylus type thing for your Volca series? In this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_8SZwrTHYk ) you can see koishistyle playing the melody with a larger stylus type thing at times, I believe the first time it occurs is around 0:52. What he is using seems to be shaped like a very soft pencil eraser and it looks very smooth on the vKeys.

Any ideas what this might be exactly? Or any other recommendations?

Thanks much, can't wait to join the ranks of those using the Volcas!

Hey, all of the Volcas use multi-touch keyboards so I'd imagine any iPad (or any other tablet or smart phone) stylus would do just fine.

I've got an old Wacom Bamboo stylus here that I just tried out of curiosity and it worked. You should be able to grab pretty much any inexpensive stylus for ~ $5 from Amazon and do the same thing. I'd just make sure it's one of the ones with the fat tips.

Yep, I can second the Wacom Bamboo Stylus for the iPad works well on the Volcas. Much easier to use as fingers can double touch the inputs.
