Volca Beats

The Volca Beats is a hybrid drum machine produced by the Japanese music technology manufacturer Korg.

The Volca Beats uses both analogue synthesis and PCM samples to produce drum sounds.

It is part of Korg's Volca line of affordable synthesizers and drum machines, it has a 16-step sequencer and can run off batteries.

[2] Connection points include 9V DC power, MIDI in, sync in/out and a single stereo output.

[2] The analogue section is made up of six tracks that Korg say are "common analogue vintage circuits":[2][6] PCM sample tracks have control over individual volume and playback speed.
