Each of the modules has been carefully selected for its stand-alone completeness. The modules are internally connected so that sound can be produced even before connecting the included pin cables, and the routing is shown by white lines on the panel. Module connections via a pin cable take priority over the internal connections, bypassing them. Creating new sounds that don’t exist in the outside world is an unending dream which has continued since the birth of electronic musical instruments. This dream has evolved and expanded throughout the development of new and unique music production devices.The popularity of modular synthesizers around the world has generated new excitement and interest in the so-called West Coast style of synthesis that deviates from traditional synthesis norms.The compact body of this volca synth features eight modules and 50 patch points.
