#Synthember2023 Single Gear Jam - Day

It's been a long time since I did a Single Gear Jam with the FM.
That's why I thought today is the day.

Before that, I finally reset my Volca FM to its delivery state. In fact, most of the time I was actually working with presets that weren't originally on the FM. You can easily exchange the presets relatively easily, for example with Dexed.

Well, that was my challenge today: Find a preset and jam with it for at least 30 minutes. Ok, I chose marimba. I don't know why. Maybe because I was hoping to find something more Precussion-like within the 32 sounds. I was disappointed. Overall, I have to say that I expected more from the factory presets. Too bad KORG.

Well, I dared and I had fun, I think that's the main thing. And I won the challenge too.
But I wouldn't want to do another single gear jam with these presets and would instead look for something from Dexed again.

Here is the Setup:
KORG Volca FM
Specular Reverb v3

And here is the Tracklist (thanks ChatGPT)
0:00 Prep
2:00 Firefly Melodies
5:30 Fading Mirage
7:00 Fragile Mornings
7:00 Flannel Moon
12:30 Frozen Moments
15:00 Fading Moonlight
18:15 Fractured Mirrors
20:45 Forgotten Melancholy
28:00 Floating Memories
31:00 Feathered Mist

If you are wondering whether the Volca FM is a device that you will enjoy, then I can definitely recommend you give it a try. There is simply a lot more to it than you think at first glance.

And because the question comes up very often: FM 1 or 2? Honestly? To me it wouldn't be worth the extra 50 EUR. I would always buy the FM 1 and then an external effects pedal if necessary.

Thank you for your time and energy. As always: feedback in the comments.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow, dear ones, because tomorrow is Fuse Day.

Greetings Volcaniced

What is #Synthember2023?

#Synthember is a hashtag for an event month that I created based on Cuckoo's #Jamuary. All videos in September will be tagged with this hashtag. Anyone who wants to jam can also use this hashtag. This is how we make the #Synthember better known.

My motto for this year's #Synthember is:

- Challenge yourself! -

Four days a week, Monday through Thursday, I'll be releasing a jam based on a specific classification, with certain restrictions. On Sundays there will be a new meetup with the community, i.e. with you, where you can ask anything you want. So I'm looking forward to seeing you.

Time schedule:
Mondays: Alone Day (Single Gear Jam)
Tuesdays: Fuse Day (Combined Setup Jam)
Wednesdays: Dance Day (Dance Music Jam)
Thursdays: Ambient Day (Chill and Relax Jam)
Friday and Saturday: No Jam
Sunday: Community Meetup (Discord 20 p.m. CEST)

Most of the Time I am using the Specular Reverb v3 for my jams.
Sometimes the NTS-1 with the Cathedral Preset or just the iPad.
