volca keys is a long-awaited synthesizer that adds a new chapter to the long and storied history of korg's analog synthesizers. this 27-key analog lead synth delivers unbelievably powerful sound in a compact body. starting with a filter section that uses the circuitry of the legendary minikorg700s (1974), it delivers astonishing sound that takes full advantage of korg's half-century of know-how in circuit design.

with a simple structure that includes delay effect and a sequencer, it's also an ideal choice for a first analog synth. it offers the richly expressive sounds that are distinctive of analog, providing the enjoyment of simple yet deep sound-creation. the possibilities are endless; you can use the three oscillators to play chords, use them in unison with detune to produce solid lead lines, or apply ring modulation to create far-out metallic sounds.
