Today I tried gradually adding drums little by little. I thought it was a pretty basic thing to do, but changing the steps every 4 bars while tweaking the bass at the same time was actually harder than I expected.
Also… sorry for posting every day lately 😅
I’m just having too much fun — not only making music, but Reddit itself too.
Makes me wonder… why did Reddit never really take off in Japan🤨
This tiny little thing that could probably fit in a wallet is so much fun that I haven’t touched my Volcas or TD-3 lately (´>∀<｀)ゝ
Maybe I’m getting a little better?
Tried experimenting with lots of different sounds on the Acid Mint bass synth.
The tiny text on this thing definitely takes some getting used to haha.
I’m still figuring out the drum side too, but I managed to do some live arrangement tweaks while jamming.
There still aren’t many videos of this gear on YouTube, so I hope this can be useful for someone!
But honestly… this thing is dangerous for sleep.
Finally got one today! 😄
I’m still just starting to learn it, but it’s already really fun so I wanted to share.
It’s tiny, but I was surprised how easily it can make proper acid sounds.
Also… somehow my nose breathing always gets recorded in these videos 😂Maybe I breathe too hard haha.
Been messing around with the TD-3 and RD-6 lately.
Is it just me, or does the TD-3 make cooler patterns when you stop overthinking and just program random stuff? 😂

I’m starting to think the Volcas might actually be better suited for ambient than acid.
That said, really skilled people can still make them sound super sharp and wild in acid stuff too.
I’m still learning, but I think this phrase came out pretty nicely this time.
It kind of ended up with a vibe that reminds me of the Japanese band LUNA SEA… not sure if anyone here knows them.
P.S.
It’s 5AM here in Japan 😅
I was trying to keep the volume down not to wake up my family… so sorry if you can hear my nose breathing sometimes.

Like people here suggested, I tried giving each VCO a different melody — and honestly I was surprised how much depth and movement I could get out of a single track.
So this is my little progress report 😄
Thanks to everyone who gave me advice here!
The VCO2 bassline accidentally started sounding a bit like Nirvana somehow 🤣 Totally unintentional.
Tomorrow I’ll probably be messing around with the TD-3 again, so I might disappear back into the Behringer subreddit for a bit 😊
The AGOGO sound kept getting too smaller when I ran everything through speakers, so this time I tried using only the built-in speakers.
I think it came out kinda cute. Honestly, I had way more fun with this setup than I expected!
Sorry for posting every day 😅
Playing around with Volca Bass + Beats again today.
When the sequence doesn’t go the way I expected, my brain just freezes lol.
Do you guys actually memorize “okay, next is pattern 3, then 7, then 2…” and so on?
Isn’t that kind of exhausting? 😂
Can you pre-program the order of sequences somehow?
I finally figured out how to make VCO3 independent.
Also… the manual is way too minimal sometimes 😅
Please explain more lol.
This time I think the cutoff tweaking near the end came out pretty nicely, so I wanted to share it!
Hope you enjoy 😊
Hey everyone, nice to meet you all!
I’ve recently gotten really into techno. It’s kind of a niche genre in Japan, so I started using Reddit to connect with more people who are into it too.
I’m usually hanging around the KORG Volca subreddit, but today I picked up my TD-3 again for the first time in a while. Honestly, I think I still prefer the sound of the TD-3 over the Volca Bass.
I used to post little jam videos like this over in the Volca community — hope it’s cool if I occasionally share them here too!
Someone suggested “one kick, one bass” before, so I tried it.
I think it came out pretty good!
Hopefully no nose breathing got recorded this time:/

Tweaking the resonance is so addictive, I totally lose track of time.

I tried to recreate Flim by ear!
It’s such an amazing track, so I tried not to ruin it :/
but The drums are way too delicate for me to replicate though — so it’s more just the vibe.
Still, it was really fun. My right hand was super busy since I was holding my phone in my left 😅

Sorry for posting so much.
I really like 303-style sounds, so this kind of stuff is just easy for me to vibe with.
There aren’t many Japanese users on Reddit—does that matter?Also, is it bad to post this frequently?
I’m still figuring things out, so I’d appreciate any advice.

I gave it another shot after that.
I think it turned out kinda dreamy, which I like.
Maybe I went a bit too heavy on the reverb though.
Delay is still really tricky… it got pretty chaotic at one point, but I think I managed to hide it (hopefully lol).

I’ve been posting short videos here every day lately.
Yesterday I tried adding some reverb like someone suggested, but honestly… I totally messed it up lol.
Then I added delay and somehow made it even worse 💀
Definitely need more practice, but I’m having a lot of fun with it.Thanks for the advice, really appreciate it!
Had to keep it quiet since it was early morning… didn’t realize I’d be adding breathing as a layer lol
