Volca Role-Reversal Jam! (Volca Drum as Synth/Volca Modular as Drum Machine!)
Channel: Oscillator Sink
Date: 29/06/2019

I've come to terms with the fact that using synths as drum machines is kinda "my thing" now. I also "have prior" for using drum machines as synths.

In this jam, all of the synth lines are coming from the Volca Drum, and the percussion is coming from the Volca Modular. The Volca Drum is being recorded through the Digitech Polara Reverb to give it a little more ambience; the Volca Modular is recorded dry - any ambience you hear is coming from its internal "Space" effect. There's a little EQ and compression in the mix, but haven't added anything else.

Both Volcas are running a single pattern, but the Volca Drum is taking advantage of the "Active Step per Track" trick along with Step Probability and the Volca Modular is in Stochastic mode with lots of "Woggle" so there's quite a bit of variation happening within those single patterns. 

If you'd be interested in any tutorials on any of the techniques used in this jam, let me know in the comments!
