Today, in an age where digital technology allows electronic instruments to simulate any sound imaginable, musicians, producers and performers persist in the search for the peculiar harmonic distortion and warmth generated by analog tubes. The quality of this distinctive sound is not limited to words and cannot be analyzed: it is the unmistakable sound of tubes.
The volca nubass is the first analog synth to feature Nutube, the new generation of tubes. Tube and analog for a warm, rich, fat sound. The transistor ladder filter provides the character of a classic bass machine, with overdrive for the inevitable distortion needed to reproduce the typical aggression and arrogance worthy of a synth bass line. A new generation acid bass machine, combining classic sound with a modern synth design. Here is the volca nubass.
The heart of the volca nubass is a tube oscillator circuit, which uses the innovative Nutube technology.
The Nutube valve consists of two independent triodes. One is used in the oscillator to generate sawtooth and square waveforms. The other triode is used in the sub-oscillator circuit, to add depth and warmth an octave below the oscillator. The oscillator and sub-oscillator are based on a circuit structure designed to reproduce the harmonic character that only a true tube instrument can express.
A transistor ladder low pass filter to produce distinctive sounds
The low-pass filter of the volca nubass completes and defines the sound of this bass machine. Based on a transistor ladder design typical of classic analog synth basses, this filter is known for its dynamic intervention on the sound that goes far beyond the banal “light sound/dark sound”. The extensive timbral possibility makes it optimal for various applications in dance music: from the most distinctive modulations typical of acid house to the most aggressive techno character that can be obtained by increasing the resonance.
Analog Drive Circuit
The volca nubass features an analog overdrive circuit reminiscent of a classic stompbox. Turning the knob to the right applies compression to the signal, causing slight distortion, adding thickness to your bass sound. The tone knob also lets you adjust the character of the mid-high frequency range.
16-step sequencer with parameter automation
The volca nubass is equipped with a 16-step sequencer complete with various functions that will allow you to play automated patterns; using it together with a drum machine like the volca drum you can create your own tracks, your own grooves.
You can use the 16 buttons typical of the volca series to add and delete steps, or use them as a keyboard to record your performances in real time. The Chain function allows you to play different patterns in succession, up to a maximum of 16 for a sequence composed of a total of 256 steps.
The motion sequence function records the movements of the knobs, to add variations over time to the sound parameters. You can create loops, or use this function to generate surprising performances. 16 sequences and as many sounds can be saved and recalled directly in the internal memory of the volca nubass.
The active step function is a must-have, allowing you to omit selected steps during sequence playback, halve or reduce the length of the sequence, generate loop-based rhythmic effects, vary the rhythmic division or create evolving patterns in real time.
Three functions for your grooves with the volca nubass
The volca nubass sequencer includes three functions to add the typical slap and slide techniques of acid bass to your performances: transpose, accent and slide, all controllable via the step sequencer.
The Transpose function plays the note one or two octaves above the original, to add movement to the bass line while remaining on the same scale. The Accent function emphasizes a note in order to recreate a dynamic rhythmic flow. The Slide function, on the other hand, is indispensable for more acid bass lines because it introduces a smoother transition between notes played in succession. These functions allow you to increase the feeling of groove in your sequences, to give an extra touch to your performances and musical productions.
You can apply random settings to all three of these functions. In addition to generating unpredictable patterns, you can constantly update the random setting to continuously vary your sequences, ensuring that the volca nubass is a constant source of ideas for your electronic music.
Connectors for external synchronization and control
Using the volca nubass’s sync In and Out jacks, you can connect to Korg synths and groove machines (minilogue, monologue, prologue, electribe, SQ-1) and other volca series instruments, to instantly synchronize the sequences played by the various instruments. There’s also a MIDI IN port that lets you control and use the volca nubass as a sound module with MIDI keyboards or DAW software.
Thanks to its compact size, battery power and built-in speaker, the volca nubass is easy and convenient to take with you for use in any situation.
