I don’t think there is a real advantage. Volca Sample is limited in nearly all ways except the damage it doesn’t do to your wallet.

Ten patterns can only get you so far, but it’s just a whole lot of fun, and not so expensive that you might miss out due to budget. It has its uses but cannot replace a Rytm.

It is great for a fun 5-10 minute realtime jam tune, as demonstrated. Although, for a live set, I think it works best when you need something simple but effective for a few minutes of bridging material. You can even get into a real tweaked out breakdown with the sample loop / pitch envelope & reverb while your Elektron boxes load up a new project to restart/resync as your Volca Sample tails off into the abyss.

Every tool is a weapon if you hold it right.

This tune reminds me of some of Jack Dixon’s music.
