Korg Volca Beats

Even today, more than thirty years after the age dominated by analog synthesizers, KORG 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.
