![]() ![]() ![]() After I ordered the cable, I asked myself why I did it to salvage a synth I probably will just give away. Supposedly, that gets around the SysEx problem, but it does add over 50% to the cost of the Volca. I just received a $100 (with Shipping to the US) USB cable I purchased from Retrokits in Saturday’s mail. Next, unlike Dexed running on a vanilla Win 7 PC, I can hear subtle, but noticeable, differences in the sounds the Volca makes compared to my TX7 or to Dexed (and I’m not talking about the noise floor or distortion inherent in the TX7). First, it is a total bitch to get patches into it because there still is no SysEex capability. Nothing really “wrong”, its just that Korg totally missed the boat, I think, especially at the price point.

MicroDexed Touch is an advanced DIY project, based on a Teensy 4.1, PCM5102 Audio Board, 320×240 ILI9341 SPI Display with XPT2046 Touchscreen and a serial Flash Chip. MicroDexed Touch is a fork of MicroDexed, which is a port of Dexed for Teensy 3.6/4.1 with a lot more functionality including multiple sound engines (2 x 16 voice DX7, 2x VA Monosynths, Layered Multi Samples, MDA ePiano, 8 voice Mutable Instruments Braids Oscillator), Euclidian arpeggiator, basic audio effects and a 8 track pattern song (tracker like) sequencer.
