Putting Hats In Washing Machine

The Korg Volca Beats is a joy to use. The analog tones - kick, snare, toms, and hats - really are the heart of this little machine. They sound so fantastic and their control is minimal but covers a wide range of tonal shaping possibilities. The hats are the standout. The grain knob really has a unique element of sonic control. I bought the Volca Beats, again after having one many years ago, specifically for the sound of the hats. Programming with MIDI notes is the way to go here. You could definitely do a cool one-bar performance on this beast especially getting crazy with the Stutter function but, for my purposes, writing techno-electronic tracks, MIDI note triggering from a DAW is ideal. For fine control, I recommend sequencing your MIDI notes and then recording samples of each instrument for use with sampler instances in your DAW. This way you can adjust the phase of each sample to really gel everything as opposed to having a random analog phase to each tone. Also recording samples allows you to process each sound individually and that is really what a polished & professional sound is all about. The PCM sounds can be cool and sound wonderfully degraded at low pitch settings but honestly you can ignore them and stick to the analog section without losing ANY value to the machine. Korg has delivered almost certainly the best budget friendly analog (and PCM) drum machine with the Volca Beats.

I have had these for over a year and I am happy to say that they have survived more than 20 times in the washing machine (i forgot them in there), many falls and stuff. They work just as great as they did in the beginning, would recommend to everyone and they are also very cheap!

these work great. works behind walls, ovens, stone walls and from inside washing machine. I was supprised on the reliability of this transceiver.

Thought i lost this little torch, 9 months later it falls out off my washing machine, got stuck behind the front rubber door Gasket, still has the original battery that came with and it turned right on, A little rust near the ring that's all the damage it suffered. I'm a fire inspector and use this a lot to read gauges and find hidden no no's in back rooms, this light rocks don't hesitate just get one!

I’ve had these for several months now. They’ve been through the washing machine a few times and still work and sound great for general purpose ear buds. I let my son borrow them the other day and he lost them. I was devastated. I’ve been looking for the same ones ever since. Well tonight he found them and gave them back and I am so thrilled. I never thought headphones would be a thing that makes my day better but c’est la vie.

Have had this gadget for a bit, I love it. I was sad when it went through the washing machine but guys it still works ?? Highly recommend

Lost this light at least 9 months ago, was pulling a load of towels out of the washing machine and this fell out........to my amazement the thing turned right on, original battery.....A little rusty put its definitely clean now, tough tough light.

This was my first ever upgrade, putting an after-market board in a pre-built machine I got several years ago. Everything went perfectly, everything easily accessible and well-marked.

I have two of these now! 1 for a drum a machine and this latest one for a mixer! Putting my mixer in this is totally a space saver. It solid, grips your pro audio equipment tight and can adjust to all sorts of angles and widths! Must buy if need desk space/room or a portable stand for such equipment!

works great hats off to auralex
