Free Volca drum - editor / glitch sequencer with Pure Data by noiseAUD

There is a new version of this editor here:    • V2 Volca Drum Editor / IDM Sequencer ...  

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is an editor and sequencer for the Korg Volca Drum I have created with Pure Data.

After downloading the patch you can open it in Pure Data (vanilla) or Purr Data or Plugdata (or other Pure Data software)

With a MIDI Interface Box - send USB MIDI from Pure Data to the box and to the Volca Drum via a MIDI cable.

The Editor / Sequencer sends to MIDI to parts 1 - 6 the Volca Drum has to be in 1-6 MIDI channel mode. Your Volca Drum may be in this mode already but if not: Hold REC as you switch on the Volca Drum and press one of the part buttons to see the display state " MID 1 - - 6 "

Pure Data, Purr Data, or Plugdata?

Pure Data is the original, vanilla software that other Pure Data software is based on.

You might find it works when others do not work for your computer so try original Pure Data if others have issues for you. It’s a bit more difficult to use, but is the most up to date.

Purr Data has a much nicer GUI than vanilla and is easier to use because of it. It has additional features and extra content.

Plugdata can be used as a VST in your DAW. You can use it to make VSTs based on your Pure Data / plugdata patches. It can also be used as Standalone.

It is an alpha release so at the moment there are bugs and may crash. It also has an attractive GUI.
