Fair play man. For me though it gonna be the Arturia Microbrute. The volcas , when you consider the price they offer great value but in the end they are a very cheap budget synth & no'one should expect too much more from them. I bought the beats even AFTER thinking it wasn't too good but i figured it would be better in the flesh so i gave it a chance. I modded it, individual outs, midi out & when i was done i decided it wasn't better after all. I put it in a cupboard ! Put simply, i just don't rate it but i'm optimistic that it will have some use eventually. The sounds are much better though through the individual outs, i'll grant it that.robosardine wrote:
After all that fuss as well!....... October has come and gone and so have my Volcas- (Bass & Keys.... I never fancied the Beats in the first place). I think I may have been expecting too much... perhaps. In particular the bass. I was hoping for a rasping, bleeping, growling beast- like a Monotribe with big horns on and slavering fangs that would need to be held with two hands at all times...... It's sound is too thin for me- the filter is awful- it's just not up to it. I'm not surprised that there hasn't been too many exited posts raving about it. I have sold mine and invested in a Waldorf Rocket instead. I'll let you all know how I get on with it if you like. I have just ordered it a few minutes ago.
If you feel the same way my advice would be too sell now whilst others are still hunting for them.
I would also advise anyone thinking about buying them to think again- perhaps the Rocket would be for you?
