It would be interesting to track those patches down and find out how those 7's are used. Plays great with effects if you want something airy and psychedelic to sit on top of your mix.
A few patches between the two. Some examples of controllers were suggested. Going beyond that is awkward with the little knobs and basic screen. In conclusion, I highly suspect that what you are hearing is instead stepping between amplitudes and that a difference in the resolution of the controller is the reason. The Volca has 7 operators, as opposed to the Reface's 4, allowing for more complex sounds on the Volca.
They have a great weight and feel and are full size keybeds. The one I am looking at is obviously well-used but also generally well taken care of -besides the broken plastic end piece- the letters on some of the switches are completely rubbed away. Especially now that I only have three total banks of memory without the E! Some were noticeably out, but still had the sound character of the original. It's deeper but narrower than the Reface and would take up hardly any space especially because you could put things on top of it. Mount the battery holder, insert the new battery into the battery holder Be sure not to short out the battery pins located on the underside of the battery holder on any metal on your synth Please also checkout my other eBay articles. That's kind of a drag, but editing is pretty straight forward using the screen and touch sliders.
But most of the ones I've encountered are in pretty bad physical shape as well as being so big. I guess Yamaha had already been working in the digital domain, so he knew exactly what I was saying. Plays the real patches and sounds like the real thing. The volca is 6 operator just like the dx7. It has 5 parameter envelopes, 4 rates and 1 level. Watch this playlist to find out how capable each synthesizer is.
I got one on ebay and it is working perfectly. Also, fair warning to all- racism, sexism, hate speech, or harassment of any sort will result in an instant and permanent ban.

I'm a bot working hard to help Redditors find related videos to watch. I'd get the reface dx instead of the volca as a piece of hardware, but if you are dead set on some classic dx7 patches and you don't want a giant dx7 in your office, get a volca.
Their products are now delivered via the web by website. Apparently it will initialize itself from a cart after the battery is replaced. Go to or one of the Facebook Synth Memes groups instead. Here's how to send a. Whilst some voices are indiscernible when converted, some will have noticeable differences , but still tend to have the original character, and are of course tweakable to your tastes.

And, unfortunately, a finicky E! This makes it easy to enter a patch from this listing. I can't add much to what's been said above. It doesn't take dx7 patches. Then some of those required moving operator data around to make for a match.
Then turn off memory protection for internal memory. For me personally I play a lot of extended harmonies so I really need at least 7 voices 7 voices covers a full 13 chord, and sometimes with chord stacking you need more than that so the 8 the Reface offers is a nice minimum to do most of what I do. This will be my first ever synth! Of the 797 operators with a velocity of 1 or greater, the majority 559 or 70. Why Yamaha gave that up I'll never know. Really nifty as it brings the parameters to the front panel as knobs, making programming and experimenting really easy. Additional symptoms of a loose E! Sometimes you can find built ones or people to build it.
