Korg Volca Modular Complete - Part 6
Part 6 of the series “Korg Volca Modular - Complete”
It´s the final part of the 6 “basic” videos, and shows how to perfectly integrate the Volca Modular in a larger modular synth system (Eurorack as well as others). From Video 7 on the series continues as “Volca Modular and Friends”, as I´m going to show how to combine the Volca Modular with other high quality but low budget synths. But back to this video here, video number 6. Here is the
