Powerful analog bass sound creation and an Electribe-inspired sequencer for the ultimate bass lines
Loop sequencer distilled from the Electribe series:
Electribe-style 16-step sequencer with eight memory patches
Slide function that’s indispensable for acid and other types of electronic music.
Active Step function generates new bass lines by removing or inserting steps.
Convenient functions for ease of use:
Self-tuning function for constant, stable pitch. Sync In and Out allows clock sync of multiple instruments from the Volca Series as well as Korg’s Monotribe.
Go-anywhere analogue:

Although simple in structure, the analog sound engine has an unmistakable presence with subtle nuances that cannot be reproduced by a digital simulation; it’s a great choice for acid house and many other styles of music.
