Caustic has developed an app for Android that lets you load samples. AFAIK there is no removable memory so this will be the only way to load samples over USB (?) with a software program.

I think actually it loads really slowly in some stupid way with an audio cable or something. Not that that's a huge problem

Also the price on the Volca sample will be cheap like the others. £120-130 I think from what I remember of my conversation with the guy at Elevator Sound

yeah you load info to it via the audio in jack, dial up modem vibes

Bit odd but at the same time there's something fun about it. Haha. Like when I used to play on my mate's dad's ZX Spectrum and you loaded the games by playing a tape down a jack cable into it.

Haha. I had a Timex computer my grandfather won in some department store contest like legit ages ago for a while. All the programs loaded from a cassette deck lololol. Ole' Schoole

So just over drafted my account a couple of times this week, and I haven't paid for any of this gear I've bought... BUT I'm gonna get the Volca Sample, and the Keys, and at some point the Drizums.

Heard the Volca beats in the Elevator Sound store the other day too actually. Dude used it to demo a distortion pedal (meant for drum machines largely) I was interested in and the kick drum on it sounded great. The pedal though tipped it fully into sounding heavy as fuck. Definitely getting the pedal as soon as I'm making money again (or I might sell probably the rarest video game I own for £100 quid and get the pedal instead).

The Volca Sample is something I definitely could see myself enjoying. Adding hardware capable of percussion sampling on top of my Tempest would be killer Especially if I got an SQ-1 as it can be synced to that and that can sequence patterns for my MS-20

So what is the name of that pedal...

YES. @wolf

I have to say, I wish they put 200 more dollars into the build and just rounded out a couple of the features on these. At $350 a pop, with a fuller feature set, these would be timeless classics.

I really think they under priced these, one of the few instances in modern times when something was under priced. With these used now costing about $100 each, and $150 for the sampler --- you get a full rig of analog sound sources for $450. It is just insane.

I could see getting TWO Basses, one to do bass, and one for lead, and then keys for chords/pads. Haha, INSANE.

Hey man...like...I need my fix...


--------------------------------------------

It is an insane world of affordable and usable hardware we live in...also so much of it is analog...I mean honestly...think of the Blofeld desktop as an example...like...500 hundo or less for crazy ass full on VST power in a box...add a BCR or something...WOOT

^yea. Cocaine has lost its intrigue...

Which is more affordable?

Cough syrup.

So I drunkenly ordered an M-Audio M-Track soundcard a few days ago because I needed something small for my laptop and it has midi in/out. Got it working tonight, but I thought the inputs were all noisy. I tried to record the Volca Beats and there was mad noise!! Turned out to be the cable and/or adapter. Volca Beats sounded good once I got a clean signal. Can't get much further into it, I need to study for school. I am behind. Plus I have to work in a half hour, I need to update some servers that can only be done afterhours.

I can't wait until I have time to do music again.

How about when you're balling, and have cash and space to properly make music?

00000000

^^ That is the way of technology. I built my studio off of detritus.

I need to kick this gear habit to the curb for a bit.

I remember putting ram in my apple laptop for $100 a stick. $400 bucks for 4 megs of ram. BALLER.
