Dude, tell me about it. I’m super stoked for the SP404/Volca combo. I’ve kind of gone off the deep end. I found a cheapish used Volca drum that I’m trying to get (if they still have it in stock). I keep thinking about all the possibilities for sampling and resampling/layering with effects. Almost like a Boards of Canada-inspired workflow.
As I mentioned, I can never work with multiple Volcas, but love how they sound together, and love how they sound with effects, so the SP404 sort of solves that for me. It’s a really compact setup as well, which is important to me as there is not much setup and cleanup time involved and it can all be done with minimal cabling and battery power.
I was thinking the Volca Drum could also pull double duties as a master clock for the other Volcas, since it has the BPM readout. I figured that might speed up the sampling workflow.
