An editor for the Volca FM synthesizer
MIT License
This is a realtime editor for the Korg Volca FM. It exposes all of Volca's parameters in one ugly functional screen. In addition it can load and save entire 32 voice banks in .SYX format. If you have a midi input device connected, the keypresses will be routed to Volca, optionally with note velocity!
How to use:
Some nice to know things:
Windows release can be found at: https://github.com/Luomu/volcako/releases/download/r1/volcako-r1.zip
R2 (May 2022)
[New] Allow copying and pasting patches (right-click patch browser)
[New] Save the entire patch bank on shutdown as lastbank.syx, load on startup
[New] Add Init Patch to the browser right-click menu
[New] EXPERIMENTAL: Add "DX7 compatibility mode" to settings: Sends sysex messages according to the original DX7 spec. Will sound wrong on Volca FM. May work with Volca FM2.
[New] Add "reset envelope" context menu action
R1 (November 2019)
Initial release
Only a Windows build has been made so far. However, all the libraries used are cross platform so a Mac/Linux port should be a breeze. You have two choices: CMake and Genie.
Using CMake is simple with Visual Studio 2022 (Community): Just open the folder and it shoudl run the CMake configuration. Then select Build->Build all.
With genie you need to generate the makefile/solution for the IDE of your choice. To create .sln for VS 2019, run this in the root directory:
genie vs2019
Precompiled Genie Windows executable: https://github.com/bkaradzic/bx/raw/master/tools/bin/windows/genie.exe
