The Dude Says: These little volca series synths are SO cool for such an affordable price. You can get a perfect intro into analogue synthesis, drum machines, and sequencers, all in a tiny little package! Great for on the go purposes, its got tiny built in speakers and can be powered by 6 AA's. If you are in to circuit bending, the circuit boards are clearly labeled just for that.

Even today, more than thirty years after the age dominated by analog synthesizers, we just can't let go of the sound of analog rhythm machines. Those thick sounds have the power to stand up to guitar and acoustic drums, and are still indispensable for track-making or live performance.
The volca beats gives you those analog drums plus the easy-to-use step sequencer of the Electribe; it lets you turn your inspiration into reality and generate beats with the best high quality sounds.
