Korg VOLCAFM2 Volca FM 2 Digital FM Synthesizer and Sequencer

volca fm 2: 6-voice polyphony, 6-Operator digital FM synth with 32 algorithms, 16-step sequencer, reverb, delay, arpeggiator, and MIDI In/Out. It faithfully reproduces the classic Yamaha DX7's sound and is compatible with its patches. Compact, battery or adapter-powered, built-in speakers.


Double the Power

• 6 voices (instead of the 3 of its predecessor) the new volca fm brings a new world of harmonic possibilities to your production
• Now velocity sensitive via MIDI
• Lush Reverb effect in addition to the Chorus effect. Each of these two effects can be used and adjusted individually
• New program randomization and performance-oriented functions like warp active step, pattern chain, and an improved arpeggiator


External Sequencing and Connectivity

In addition to MIDI IN the new volca fm also includes a MIDI OUT (IN/OUT 3.5 mm TRS).


Classic Sys-Ex Compatibility

The volca fm perfectly reproduces the sound engine of the Yamaha DX7, the classic digital synthesizer that made the world aware of FM synthesis. Its six operators and 32 algorithms provide complete compatibility, and it can even load files in the SYS-EX/SYX format.


Powerful Sequencer

The internal sequencer offers looping up to 16 steps, allowing you to record your performance on the touch panel keyboard as you play. Up to 16 sequence patterns can be stored in the internal memory.

volca fm also incorporates a motion sequence function to record in real time all the subtle nuances of your playing and knob movements, letting you add time-varying change to the sound. This is a great way to polish your loops, and also lets you generate highly original live performances.


The ultimate compact FM synth is finally here

The next-gen volca fm is a powerful 6-voice, 6-Operator FM synthesizer with all 32 classic algorithms, a 16-step loop sequencer, effects and a powerful arpeggiator that perfectly reproduces the sound of the classic Yamaha DX7 and is completely compatible with SYS-EX patches for the DX7 as well.

Battery (included) or adapter (optional) operated with built-in speakers and a compact and light chassis, the volca fm is the ultimate portable FM solution for all musicians.

This new generation – with double the voices of its predecessor, additional effects, expanded MIDI connectivity, and intuitive interface – is poised to bring unprecedented possibilities to your setup, and revolutionize your studio with new musical ideas
