Korg Introduces Volca Mix Analog Mixer
Korg’s new Volca Mix is a 4-channel analogue mixer that is designed to connect the Volca units together
and create the ultimate live performance rig. The Volca Mix is crafted in the style of a DJ performance
tool and gives your Volca units new balancing capabilities and effects expansion.
The new Korg Volca Mix is the ideal tool for linking several of these products together to create the
ultimate live performance rig. It has four-channels (3 and 4 in stereo) with volume faders, lo/hi cut
filters, and a master chain that radically alters your sound. The Volca Mix also has key parameters
to keep track of your live performance, and a visual design that is aimed at performance rather than
traditional mixing desks.
It has both output and monitor capabilities, alongside its own built-in stereo speakers and headphone
out for portable sound-creation when inspiration hits. It also has Send-out and Aux-in capability to be
used with external effects. The audio connections are mini-jacks; perfect for use with each Volca unit.
The external effects would be ideal for use with the Kord Kaoss Pad, allowing you to enhance your
performance with standard effects.
Its 3x DC ports provides power to the devices, keeping users on-stage setup as de-cluttered as possible.
It also has a SYNC function to act as the master of the complete setup. A stereo expander allows to
convert mono sources into a wider stereo image, while a dynamic-range compressor helps tame the
high-frequencies according to the level changes of the low-frequencies. There’s also a side-chain
effect that’s the perfect tool for dance music.
The Volca Mix completes the Volca line-up and should cement this affordable series’ popularity; it
will provide great live performance potential at a fantastic price-point.
