 Hello, Oslater Sync here, and today I'm excited to be able to share with you my new free online patch editor for the Korg Volca drum. So like my Volca FM editor, this is a web browser based editor. You will have to be using Chrome or Opera for this to be working, and I also hear that Mozilla works with a plugin. I think the plugin is called Jazz, so you can give that a go as well. But Chrome is what I mostly test it in, so that's one that works the best. This editor gives you access to all of the parameters for all six parts, all in one interface, and also down at the bottom we have control over the wave guide as well. So let's take a real quick look at how it works. So the first thing you need to do is select your MIDI interface. At the moment, this is set to my Arturia Microfreak, which is plugged in over USB. That's not what we want. Instead, we want my Focusrite Scarlet here. You don't need to set the MIDI channel because, as it says in the instructions here, this editor currently only works with the split channel mode on the Volca drum. So that's the standard factory default of one MIDI channel per part. I'll probably do a version for the single channel mode, but at the moment, there's still some bugs with that. So I figured let's do it on the version that actually works properly at the moment. So I've got a little pattern set up on the Volca drum at the moment with just one of the parts unmuted, the rest are all muted. So I'll just hit the go on that. So at the moment, this is a kit that I've made myself previously. What we'll do is start by hitting in its patch, which is going to set all of the parts to this kind of standard sort of droning sound. So here we are on part one. We've got our two layers here. Let's get rid of layer two for a second. And let's just quickly create a kick drum sound. So a nice low sound. Those are bum end. So on the sine wave here, we'll set the mod to this setting here, which is just our normal sort of pitch mod. Give it a bit of an amount. A bit faster. Quite as much of an amount. Maybe reduce the release a little bit. This is not quite as long and boomy. OK, we can bring up the second part here. Maybe we'll have like a little sort of a bit of noise to it. So perhaps we'll use the bandpass noise here. So that pitch on the bandpass noise actually just changes the bandpass of the filter. Maybe some of there. Make it nice and short. So just got a bit of a tack on there. Yeah, so like that, that's quite nice and punchy. Maybe we don't need quite as much of the noise. Cool. Perhaps we'll put a little bit of drive on it and maybe try the folding. That's kind of cool. Bit reduction. Not today, not on this sound. Now we can have a look at the wave guide as well. So turn it up and scroll down to the bottom here. And we've got our wave guard parameters here. Wave guide parameters, I should say. Tube sounds good to me. Oh, turn up the decay. Something like that. Maybe turn the send down a little bit. Probably need quite as much. Cool, yeah, something like that. So as you can see, having all of the parameters all set out in front of you without having to press any buttons to get to anything. Certainly for me at least has really sped up actually how I make my sounds. And that's just a hit stop on that. So once you've created your sound, of course you can save it to get on your Volcker. But that kind of does lock it in the Volcker a little bit. So what I prefer to do, I'll give it a name. So this patch can be called demo. There we go. If we hit this button here that says create shareable patch link. Boop. What we've got here is a link which you can share with other people or save in your bookmarks, save in a document somewhere, which will recreate this entire patch. So all six parts. When you load it automatically, as soon as you load this link, you will get that patch. So this is a great way to share patches. I would keep a look out on the, what's currently called the Volcker FM patch sharing group on Facebook, because that might be becoming just a straight up Volcker patch sharing group. So that'd be a great place to pick these up. I will be putting out some patch packs fairly soon. And especially now it's easy for me to do that. There's also this save patch button here. What that will do is it will basically send a MIDI file, which is just a string of CC messages that if you replay using a MIDI player or a door into your Volcker FM, your Volcker drum rather, it will basically provide that patch straight up. If you get stuck, there are some instructions up here. There's also the best places to contact me on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter. If you wanna have a chat, if something's not working. The other thing, if you happen to be a dev with a bit of web experience, this particular interface, in order to build it, I've built a library called C-Synth Marta, which is on GitHub. And this allows you to very quickly create MIDI interfaces just by using sort of fairly standard HTML. You just kind of load and initialize the library and just create input controls with a couple of special parameters and the library hooks everything up for you, which is kind of neat. So anyway, I hope you really enjoy having a play with this. It's been quite fun to create and I'm hoping that I will get to hear some of your patches. If you make any patches, drop me a link on Facebook or in the comments. And also, as I say, if you are a web dev and you want to create controls, control surfaces for your synths, I'm happy to talk to you, take feature requests and all that kind of jazz. As always, thank you for joining me. Take care, I will see you again soon. Bye-bye.
