The Korg Volca Nubass is a compact analog bass synthesizer built around a Nutube vacuum-tube oscillator. It pairs that tube front end with a transistor ladder filter, overdrive and distortion, giving it a warm, thick acid-bass character. It is monophonic, with a 16-step sequencer and a touch keyboard, and suits producers and live performers who want tube-flavored bass in a small, battery-capable box. Against other Volcas and budget mono synths, its tube oscillator is the distinguishing feature; the trade-off is one voice and a small interface.

Owners praise the Nubass for its warm, aggressive bass tone and the tube-driven character that sets it apart from other Volcas. Many find the sequencer and motion recording fun and immediate. Criticism centers on the fiddly interface and the limited single-voice design.
The Korg volca nubass is a compact analog bass synth. It is the first analog synth to use a Nutube vacuum tube in its oscillator. The tube and analog circuitry together produce a warm, thick sound.
The signal path has a vacuum tube oscillator (VTO) with a sub-oscillator, a transistor ladder filter, a VCA, an EG, an LFO and overdrive. The filter gives it the character of a classic bass machine, and the overdrive adds heavy distortion.
A 16-step sequencer with pattern chaining records and plays back patterns. A multi-touch keyboard doubles as the step keys. It runs on batteries or on an optional AC adapter.
