  • Our take on the Korg Volca Sample 2

    The Volca Sample 2 is a compact digital sample sequencer with 10 parts, 16 steps and a built-in multi-touch keyboard strip. It adds USB audio and MIDI, a microSD card slot and a larger sample memory over the original Volca Sample, and it runs about 10 hours on alkaline batteries. It suits beatmakers who want a cheap, portable groovebox and are willing to load samples by card rather than record them live. Against the Elektron Model:Samples it is simpler and cheaper-feeling, with fewer sample-editing tools and no onboard sampling.

    Pros
    • True 10-part sample playback with per-part pitch and decay
    • Motion Sequence records knob moves for evolving patterns
    • Active Step, Step Jump and Swing make patterns feel alive
    • USB audio and MIDI plus microSD loading over the original
    • Battery power and a built-in speaker for grab-and-go use
    • Compact metal-free body that fits a small bag
    Cons
    • Cannot record samples itself; you must load them via microSD
    • Small display and menu diving for sample management
    • Only 16 steps per pattern, so longer phrases need chaining
    • No velocity-sensitive pads; the touch strip is basic
    • Sample memory is limited compared with modern grooveboxes

    What reviewers say

    Owners treat the Volca Sample 2 as a fun, immediate sketchpad and a clear step up from the first Volca Sample thanks to USB and microSD. Reviewers praise the sequencer tricks and portability but consistently flag the fiddly sample loading and the lack of onboard recording.

    What people mention
    • Sample loadingCriticisedOwners say getting samples onto the card and into the right slots is the most tedious part of using it.
    • SequencingPraisedUsers like Motion Sequence, Active Step and Step Jump for building variation quickly.
    • PortabilityPraisedReviewers highlight the battery life and built-in speaker for sketching ideas anywhere.
    • ConnectivityPraisedThe added USB audio and MIDI are seen as the main reason to pick it over the original.
    • Sample editingMixedPitch and decay are useful, but users want deeper trimming and filtering.
    • Pattern lengthCriticisedThe 16-step limit is called out by owners who want longer loops without chaining.

    Questions and answers

    Can the Volca Sample 2 record its own samples?
    No. It plays back samples you load onto a microSD card. You need a computer or phone to prepare and transfer them.
    How is it different from the original Volca Sample?
    It adds USB audio and MIDI, a microSD slot and more sample memory. The sequencer and 10-part layout are otherwise very similar.
    Does it work with a computer or DAW?
    Yes. USB audio and MIDI let it send and receive sound and clock data with a DAW, and it can sync with other gear over MIDI.
    How long does the battery last?
    Korg rates it at about 10 hours on alkaline batteries. It can also run from an optional AC adapter.
    How many samples can it hold?
    It has 10 parts per pattern and a fixed internal memory for loaded samples. You manage the library on the microSD card.
    Is it good for a beginner?
    Yes, if you want a hands-on step sequencer and do not mind preparing samples on a card. It is less immediate if you expect to sample directly.
