Korg introduces Volca grooveboxes

Korg have just introduced three brand new analogue grooveboxes at Musikmesse. It's not that long ago that we were all getting exited about the release of Korg's all analog Monotribe, so it seems that these grooveboxes are a step in the right direction.

The Volca Beats, Bass and Keys are all fully analog desktop synthesisers, each with their own built in sequencers. It seems that korg are listening to the masses when they are calling out for new analog gear (I think they proved that when they announced the Mini MS-20).

I've not been this exited about new gear in a while now and these little boxes have definitely grabbed my attention. The device that I'm looking forward to the most has to be the Volca Beats; having an affordable mini analog drum machine sitting next to my studio computer would be a dream.

Check out the videos below to the Volca machines in action. The first is the official Korg demo and the second is live from Musikmesse (Thanks to FutureMusic Magazine).
