With this unofficial firmware, I think that the Volca FM is a great alternative to the Reface DX.
Now you can easily use Dexed to transfer DX7 patches to your modded Volca! 🙌 You should see "Main 109" on the LED display. If you want to check the firmware version, turn the power ON while pressing the REC button.
If you get any error during the update, you can try again from start but with a lower audio level on your phone.

Out of curiousity could you link me to the patches you uploaded to it ? would love to try them out in dexed on my said:How to upgrade your Korg Volca FM with the unofficial firmware? Here is my 5 minutes guide. If you intend to start programming patches from scratch (without an editor) you're going to be frustrated with the FM.Įdit. But its fun factor is in perusing hundreds of DX7 banks and finding a weird mix of classic FM sounds, interesting basses and leads, terrible brass patches and loads of vintage cheese. It's not as hands-on as the others because 90% of the parameters are hidden in the rather cryptic menu. just when i had finally talked myself out of it DX The factory patches are best removed and forgotten immediately after unboxingĭamn you you've now convinced me that i need to grab an fm at some point with that silver tongue of yours.
Additionally, they are available in SysEx format, which as Factmag points out makes it compatible with the recent and awesome Korg volca FM synth. I thought it was a bit meh, until I uploaded a bank of really neat DX7 edm patches. The Yamaha DX7 was not the easiest synth to program, so these free patches are gold dust for anyone who respects the work of Brian Eno. Also factor in the cost of a Sysex app if you want to make use of all those DX7 banks out there without resorting to a PC. The Volca FM is a pretty powerful synth for Volca standards, but it needs a modest lick of external effects to make it shine, as it tends to sound a bit harsh and in your face without. my issue with the volca fm is you dont really have complete control over all the said: Īs you can see thats plenty of fm synth apps. Which FM apps are those? I'm aware only of Phasemaker and the Klevgrand one. i honestly didn't even expect to love the sample as much as i do. Ive been looking for a way to do this for YEARS and had no luck with other FM based VSTs (FM7, FM8, FM4, etc.
but the sample is just a joy to play with. Import into DX7 V and grab the second sound in the list of 32 and adjust the Waveforms for the OPs referencing the patch in MidiQuest. Thing is though there are fm apps on the ipad that are better than the volca FM. The FM is a synth, and, honestly, the sample is a drum machine.įor the money they're both great value, and it's hard to beat a hunnerd bucks for any of the newer volcas. Which do you have a greater need or desire for, a synth or a drum machine? But think of the choice like this, and you will have an easier time deciding: They are two completely different things.
