The Volca Nubass has one tube in the oscillator circuit and one for sub oscillator distortion. The waveforms are adapted to bass sounds, so you can choose between sawtooth and square. The overall sound is then as crunchy as just finished popcorn thanks to the two tubes.
The transistor ladder filter is familiar from many popular analogue synths and is exceptional in its sonic character. In addition to slicing frequencies, it can handle significant timbre changes, just play around with resonance. Volca Nubass will be at home in acid house, techno and other EDM genres.
You can then colour the overall sound with analogue distortion to round out your bass.
There's also a 16-track sequencer that allows for step-by-step and real-time recording, as well as modulation recording. You can combine up to 16 sequences.
And to keep your grooves interesting throughout the song, you can enhance them with Transpose, Accent and Slide. The first spreads your bass line across multiple octaves, the second adds expressive accents, and the third lets you "slide" between notes.
You can sync the Volca Nubass with other equipment using the Midi In and analogue clock input and output. Power is supplied by battery or adapter (not included).
