Korg Volca Modular Complete - Part 5

Part 5 of my series about the Volca Modular is online now. A lot of patching and all details concerning the Source module followed by a systematic approach to modulations of all kinds including modulating the modulators to get complex CV signals. Details of the Utility unit and concluding notes (what has been forgotten to say in parts 1-4) about all units of the Volca Modular will prepare you for the final step in Video 6.
