The Korg Volca NuBass delivers the harmonic richness and punchy dynamics you can only achieve with tubes, because it's packed with tubes — Nutube technology, to be precise. One Nutube drives the oscillator (your choice of saw or square waves), and one Nutube is used in the overdrive circuit for the sub oscillator. Factor in the classic ladder filter design with its undeniably rich character, and it's clear the NuBass module is primed for ultra-fat bass tones. Best of all, the built-in sequencer offers transpose, glide, and accent functions — perfect for acid-style bass lines. Whether you're already a fan of the Volca series or you're simply looking for a great value in a bass-focused synthesizer, Sweetwater is sure you'll be impressed with the Korg Volca NuBass synth module.
Even if you plan on using the Volca NuBass as part of a larger synth rig, you'll definitely want to spend some time with its built-in sequencers to appreciate how much creative potential is here. The 16-step sequencer can chain patterns to create longer grooves, and you can tie notes and add glide and accents for acid bass lines. And using the motion sequencer, you can record knob movements to add movement and variety to your lines.
Synthesists should be excited about Nutube technology — it offers the harmonic richness of tube distortion in a smaller, more power-efficient package. It's a genuine vacuum tube, and that's why the Volca NuBass sounds so punchy and rich. One Nutube drives the oscillator, and one provides drive for the sub oscillator. And as the first synthesizer to be equipped with Nutube technology, the Volca NuBass module is perfect for creating vibrant bass sounds with a unique sonic character.
Already have some Volca modules, or maybe a Korg Electribe or a "-logue" synthesizer? The Volca NuBass features Korg's sync I/O to integrate with the rest of your gear. Outside of the Korg world, NuBass offers a standard MIDI input.
