10 Years Of The Korg Volca: Every Synth, Drum Machine And Sampler Ranked From Best To Worst

Since the introduction of the Bass, Beats and Keys models in late 2013, Korg's Volca range has become synonymous with compact, affordable synthesizers and drum machines . Since then, additional Volcas have been released, as well as a mini mixer for those who own multiple models , adding FM and modular sampling and synthesis capabilities to the family.

In the 10 years since its release, Volcus has had an undeniable impact on both the synthesizer market and electronic music in general. While some vandals consider them "toys" due to their affordability and small size, artists as diverse as Aphex Twin, Octo Octa, Gorillaz and Mura Masa have proven how effective they can be in creating high-quality music.
