- Building on the enormous success of the original Volca FM, this updated model doubles the voices of its predecessor, adds additional effects including a new Reverb, more parameters and programs, and expanded connectivity
- The compact Volca FM is a powerful, velocity sensitive via MIDI, 6-operator synth with 6-voice polyphony making it possible to play, sequence or arpeggiate complex chords and to use the internal sequencer to control other devices through MIDI via a TRS to MIDI jack (sold seperately)
- The 16-step looping sequencer lets you record performances directly as you play PLUS the Volca FM incorporates motion sequencing making it possible to capture subtle nuances of playing and control changes in real time
- Volca FM perfectly reproduces the sound engine of DX7. Six operators and 32 algorithms provide complete compatibility, just load in the SYS-EX/SYX from DX7 and you are ready to go!
- The moment you receive Volca FM, you gain access to a huge selection of free tools to take your music to the next level. The software bundle includes: Izotope “Ozone Elements” for song creation and mastering with AI, “Skoove” helps improve your keyboard playing skills, “Reason Lite” DAW software, Synthmata online editor, and many more software synths from Korg and others

It’s not only a great little instrument but also a great way of learning how electronically made sounds can be used in musical compositions.

Me gustó mucho, llegó rápido a mi país pero Dhl es muy lento, pero hoy llego y estoy fascinado,lo recomiendo totalmente.

The Korg Volca FM 2 sounds better than some synths costing much more. I plan on keeping this!
ANDREA –
All those classic DX7 sounds from the 80’s that were on everything but went out of fashion have come round again to be actually very nice and usable.
I have other synths but certain sounds from the FM2 are so clean and crystal sounding, I put them thru an nts-1 with Sinevibes Hollow reverb 👌
I love that the FM2 is 6 voice poly, lots of sounds are to be found on the web and are easily transferred to this with the free Dexed app.

KORG sent me a used unit with the batteries installed and the internal speaker inoperative. The presets were already screwed up due to the previous user who returned the unit. I reset it to factory settings and the internal speaker still didn’t work. Bad experience all around.

seguro que es un gran artículo pero mi marido no ha aprendido a usarlo y ahora tengo un trasto nuevo de 300 euros sin usar en un cajón

I own the original FM, along with Drum, NuBass, and Keys. The FM2 is EXCELLENT. The best of the bunch. The inclusion of a decent onboard reverb, additional patches and the MIDI out are all greatly welcome. It would be great to change programs via MIDI CC, but that’s not going to stop you from being creative with this kit. Am seriously looking at getting another one of these, even at the $200 price point.
Is this a tiny OpSix? No. The form factor and price points drive us to Volcas and this is the quite an addition to the line.

I’ve only scratched the surface with this thing, but I’m already satisfied that it does what I was looking for it to do. As a digital synth it’s somewhat limited. There are a number of library tones and algorithms to choose as a base, there are two bars to adjust the octave and velocity, you can adjust the attack/decay for the modulator and carrier, and there’s an LFO. That sounds like a lot but the range does end up being somewhat limited. This unit has 6 note polyphony, meaning it will play 6 individual tones at a time. That’s a nice step up from the previous model which only allowed for 3. The arpeggiator disappointed me a bit as it only seems to play three note patterns, though I may have missed something. There are a number of different arpeggio patterns and speeds and you can switch through them very quickly.
Overall, I’m super happy with this purchase. It’s not the most expansive unit, but the price is hard to beat and I love the retro sound of it. My only gripe is that these Volca units are not readily compatible with a lot of other things. For this unit I needed to buy a midi adapter to use it with my controller, as well as a polarity converter and adapter for my power supply.

Graciela –
i suoni sono molto belli e le funzioni sono tutte sotto mano. lo controllo via midi con una tastiera ed è perfetto.
Stacy –
Literally a dx7 in a portable box amazing sounds. And 6 voice polyphony is exceptional for this price range.

I was aware about the type of sounds this synth can generate but I was blown away when I tried it for the first time, easy to dive in with the functionality in general, FM synthesis is very interesting for all sounds from the 70s go on. I just love it.
