Introduction Thank you for purchasing the Korg volca fm DIGITAL FM SYNTHESIZER. This digital synthesizer uses a 3-voice, 6-operator FM (Frequency Modulation) sound engine. In addition to the basic FM sound parameters, there are also a number of volca fm-specic parameters that provide further sound-editing capabilities. Sound les (SYS-EX/SYX) created on the Yamaha DX7 can be converted and loaded into the volca fm. Sounds created on the volca fm can be exported and shared with another volca fm. In addition, the volca fm also includes a built-in step sequencer, motion sequencer, and an arpeggiator—plus various voice modes—that can all add movement, depth, and expression to your volca fm sounds. FM (Frequency Modulation) is based on synthesis elements known as operators. The volca fm sound engine uses six operators. Operators can function as either modulators or carriers; modulating operators apply modulation to audio-source carrier operators to create sound. The way that these modulating and carrier operators interact is called an algorithm; the volca fm provides 32 distinct FM algorithms. In the EDIT mode, the parameters required for the FM sound source, such as the LFO waveform and speed as well as the EG level and rate, can be set for each operator. TRANSPOSE slider This slider raises or lowers the pitch in units of octaves or semitones. VELOCITY slider In PLAY mode, this slider controls the global velocity. In EDIT mode, this slider functions as the VALUE slider for editing the FM synthesis parameters. OCTAVE ,/ OPERATOR +, – buttons In PLAY mode, these buons change the octave range of the keyboard. In EDIT mode, these buons select the operator to edit. By selecting “A” (All), you can edit parameters that apply to all operators. SAVE/EXPORT button When not in EDIT mode, this buon saves the FM sound engine parameters. Press the SAVE/EXPORT buon, and then use the PROGRAM knob to select the save location for the program. Press the SAVE/EXPORT buon again to begin saving. To cancel the save operation, press the EDIT buon before pressing the SAVE/EXPORT buon. Exporting You can connect the volca fm’s SYNC OUT jack to the SYNC IN jack of another volca fm unit, and export (transmit) FM sound programs and sequences to the other volca fm unit. In EDIT mode, press the SAVE/EXPORT buon so that the buon blinks, and then use the PROGRAM knob to select the item to be exported. After selecting the item to be exported, press the SAVE/EXPORT buon again to export it. The SAVE/EXPORT buon lights up while the export operation is being performed. The SAVE/EXPORT buon blinks again when the operation is nished. Items to be exported Crnt PGM (currently selected program), ALL PGM (all 32 programs), Crnt SEQ (current sequence), ALL SEQ (all 16 sequences), CLOnE (all previously listed items) EDIT button Use this buon to toggle between the EDIT and PLAY modes. EDIT mode is the mode for specifying seings for FM synthesis parameters and exporting. Specifying global parameter settings Setting the MIDI channel 1. While holding down the MEMORY buon,turn the volca fm on. 2. Keyboard buons 1 to 16 correspond to the MIDI channels 1 to 16 . Press the buon that corresponds to the desired channel, and the LED below the keyboard buon will light up. Other parameters 1. While holding down FUNC buon, turn on the volca fm. 2. Use the keyboard bu ons 1–8 to set your preferences for any or all of the global parameters. (Refer to the table.) 3. When you have nished, press the (REC) buon. Your seings will be saved, and the volca fm will restart. To cancel without making changes, press the (PLAY) buon.

MEMORY buttons The volca fm is equipped with 16 memory locations that are used to save sequences. To load a sequence, press the MEMORY buon, and then press one of the 1 through 16 buons. Hold down the FUNC buon and press the MEMORY (WRITE) buon to enter the save-ready condition. In this condition, press one of the 1–16 buons to save the currently selected program number and sequence in the buon that you pressed. CHAIN function Multiple saved sequences can be linked together to create a longer and more interesting performance. Hold down the MEMORY buon, and using the 1–16 buons in which sequences have been saved, specify the range of sequences that you want to play; the sequences in that range will play back consecutively. FUNC (function) button To access various volca fm functions, hold down the FUNC buon and press the appropriate keyboard buon. The LED below the key will light to conrm your selection. VOICE MODE •FUNC + POLY: Up to three-note chords can be played. •FUNC + MONO: One note at a time can be played. •FUNC + UNISON: All three voices will sound in unison, operating as a mono synth. CHORUS •FUNC + CHORUS: This applies a chorus eect. ARP ON/OFF •FUNC + ARP ON/OFF: This turns arpeggiator on/o. Tempo settings •FUNC + 1/1, 1/2, 1/4: The volca fm tempo can be set to one-half, one-quarter, or equal to the value of the incoming MIDI clock, the SYNC IN clock rate, or the current tempo knob seing. • FUNC + METRONOME: When selected, the metronome will sound during sequence playback. • FUNC + WARP ACT.STEP: If there are fewer than 16 active steps, they are compensated to occupy the same playback time as 16 steps. Transpose setting • FUNC + TRANSPS NOTE: Switches the operation of the TRANSPOSE slider to semitone units. (Power) button Press this buon to turn the volca fm on. To turn the volca fm o, hold this buon for approximately one second. Auto power-o The power-o function will automatically turn the volca fm o after roughly four hours have passed with no sound being produced. The auto power-o function can be disabled using the global parameters. (See global parameters.) DC 9V Jack Connect the plug end of the optional AC adapter to this jack. Only use the specied AC adapter. Using any AC adapter other than the specied model could damage the volca fm. DISPLAY The value of the selected knob, buon, or function is shown in the screen. Envelope Generator Controls The envelopes [EG] control how fast an operator comes up to full level (Aack) and how fast an operator dies down (Decay) after the key is pressed or released. MODULATOR • ATTACK: This knob controls the EG aack for the selected MODULATOR operator. • DECAY: This knob controls the EG decay for the selected MODULATOR operator. CARRIER • ATTACK: This knob controls the EG aack for the selected CARRIER operator. • DECAY: This knob controls the EG decay for the selected CARRIER operator. Installing the batteries On the back panel, locate the baery compartment and slide o the cover. Insert the baeries—being sure to observe the correct polarity—and then replace the baery cover. Turn the volca fm o before replacing the baeries. Remove depleted baeries at once. Depleted baeries left in the baery compartment may leak over time, and may cause malfunctions. Also, remove the baeries if you will not be using the volca fm for an extended period of time. Do not mix partially used baeries with new ones, and do not mix baeries of diering types. Battery level indicator When the volca fm is turned on, the LEDs below the keyboard buons indicate the remaining amount of baery power. If all LEDs are lit up, the baeries are completely full. Fewer lit LEDs mean that the baery level is correspondingly lower. When using the AC adapter, the remaining baery level will not be indicated correctly. TIP Either alkaline or nickel-metal hydride baeries can be used. In order for the remaining baery level to be detected and indicated correctly, the type of baeries being used must be specied in the global parameters of the volca fm. TIP If the baeries are running low during usage of the volca fm, t he low baery warning “bA Lo” will appear in the display. If the baeries run down completely, the volca fm automatically turns o. TIP It’s not possible to turn o the low baery w arning; however, you will be able to continue using the volca fm until the baeries have run down completely. About the MIDI implementation chart The volca fm can be controlled via MIDI; simply connect the MIDI output of an external MIDI device to the MIDI IN jack of the volca fm. The MIDI messages that can be received by the volca fm are listed in its MIDI implementation chart. You can download the MIDI implementation chart for the volca fm from the Korg Web site. LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) • RATE: This knob sets the LFO speed of the FM sound source parameters. • P.DEPTH: This knob sets the depth of the LFO applied to the pitch of the FM sound source parameters. PROGRAM Normally, this knob selects the program. In EDIT mode, this knob selects the FM synthesis parameter. ALGRTM This knob selects the operator algorithm for the FM sound engine. MOTION SEQUENCE This function records knob or slider operations that are performed while a sequence is being recorded. Once the sequence has made a full cycle from the step where an operation was performed, record is automatically deactivated. • FUNC + ON/OFF: This turns motion sequencing on/o. • FUNC + SMOOTH: If this is turned on, the parameters change smoothly during each step according to the motion value recorded at the beginning of each step. If this is turned o, the parameters change abruptly at the beginning of each step. TIP Some parameters won’t play back smoothly. • FUNC + CLEAR: All recorded knob adjustments will be erased. TIP Motion Sequence can record operations of TRANSPOSE, VELOCITY and all clear knobs except TEMPO. CLEAR (erasing data) • FUNC + ACT.STP: All values in the active step will be deleted • FUNC + ALL: All sequence data will be erased. • FUNC + (REC/ERASE) during playback: Use the keyboard buons to remove individual sounds. ACTIVE STEP mode: FUNC button + (PLAY) button Using the ACTIVE STEP mode, each step of the current sequence can be individually turned on or o; disabled (o) steps will be skipped during playback and recording . While holding down the FUNC buon, press the buon (ACTIVE STEP) to enter active step mode.Each step of the current sequence can be turned on/o. Steps that are turned o are disabled and will be skipped during playback and recording. The LEDs below the keyboard buons representing the active steps will light up. When you’ve nished, press the FUNC buon to exit active step mode. Restoring all factory default FM sound programs and sequence data 1. While holding down the FUNC and MEMORY buons, turn the volca fm on. The (REC) and (PLAY) buons will blink. 2. Press the (REC) buon to restore the factory defaults and start volca fm. Press the (PLAY) buon to cancel the reset operation and simply start volca fm. Restoring the factory defaults will erase any saved FM sound program and sequence data. MIDI IN jack By connecting a MIDI cable to this input, the volca fm can be played and controlled by the MIDI output of an external device. SYX sound data les for the Yamaha DX7 can also be received. SYNC (IN, OUT) jacks These jacks allow you to synchronize your volca fm to Korg volca, monotribe or other equipment—including an analog sequencer or a DAW. The polarity of the SYNC jacks can be set using the global parameters. • SYNC OUT: a 5 V pulse of 15 ms is sent at the beginning of each step. • SYNC IN: If this jack is connected, the internal step-clock will be ignored, and the volca fm sequencer will advance according to the pulses received here. (Headphone) jack Connecting your headphones to this 1/8”stereo mini jack will mute the volca fm’s internal speaker and allow you to create music in private. ARP (Arpeggiator) The arpeggiator plays the individual notes held on the keyboard in a rhythmic paern. • TYPE: Select one of the available arpeggiator paerns using this knob. • DIV: Use this knob to change the note timing resolution of the arpeggiator. TEMPO The tempo knob sets the playback tempo for the arpeggiator and sequencer. VOLUME This is the master volume knob; use this to set the output level of volca fm. (PLAY) button Pressing this buon will cause the current sequence to begin playing. The (PLAY) buon will light up during playback. Press this buon a second time to stop playback. (REC) button This records your performance on the keyboard buons as a sequence. If you press this buon while stopped, you’ll enter record-ready mode (the buon will blink); when you then press the (PLAY) buon, recording will start (the buon will light). You can also start recording by playing the keyboard when in record-ready mode. If you press the (REC) buon during playback, recording will start from the point at which you pressed the buon.
