This distinctive sound has a quality beyond words that sets it apart, and cannot be captured by a response curve; it's the unmistakable sound of tubes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volca nubass is the first analog synth to be equipped with a Nutube new-generation vacuum tube in its oscillator. Vacuum tube plus analog means that the sound is warm, thick, and rich. The familiar transistor ladder filter gives it the character of a classic bass machine, along with overdrive, and huge-sounding distortion. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn acid bass machine for a new generation combines classic sound with the power of modern synthesizer design. It's the volca nubass.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Nutube is equipped with two vacuum tubes; one is used in the oscillator to generate a sawtooth wave or square wave. The other vacuum tube is used in the drive circuit of the sub oscillator, adding depth and warmth one octave below the oscillator. This oscillator and sub oscillator provide a circuit structure that brings out the harmonic character that only a real vacuum tube could provide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe low-pass filter defines the sound of this bass machine; it uses a transistor ladder design found on classic analog bass synths. This filter is uniquely dynamic in the way it affects a sound more than just ranging from bright-to-dark. Its wide range of timbral possibilities makes it ideal for a broad variety of dance music; you can use it to create the distinctive modulation that can be heard in acid house, or increase the resonance to bring out a sharp character that's appropriate for techno.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNubass is equipped with overdrive that uses an analog circuit reminiscent of a classic stompbox. Turning the knob toward the right compresses the volume while causing mild distortion, adding thickness to your bass sounds. The tone knob also lets you adjust the crispness of the high-frequency range.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKeyboard:\u003c\/b\u003e Multi touch Keyboard \/ step key\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSynthesizer Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Analog synthesis \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaximum Polyphony:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStructure: \u003c\/b\u003eVTO (oscillator, sub-oscillator), VCF, VCA, EG, LFO, Overdrive \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSequencer Number of parts:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Steps: \u003c\/b\u003e16 (pattern chain is available) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Recording Patterns:\u003c\/b\u003e 16 (No.1 – 10 are factory preset) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Output:\u003c\/b\u003e Headphones (3.5mm stereo mini jack) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSync:\u003c\/b\u003e Sync In (3.5mm monaural mini jack, Maximum input level: 20V), Sync Out (3.5mm monaural mini jack, Maximum Output level: 5V) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMIDI:\u003c\/b\u003e MIDI In \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBattery Life: \u003c\/b\u003eApproximately 8 hours (using alkaline batteries) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePower supply:\u003c\/b\u003e AA alkaline battery ×6, AA nickel-metal hydride battery ×6, or AC adapter “KA-350” (optional) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncluded Items: \u003c\/b\u003eSix AA alkaline batteries for checking operation, Sync cable \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions (W x D x H): \u003c\/b\u003e193 × 115 × 46 mm \/ 7.61\" x 4.54\" x 1.82\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003e370 g \/ 0.82 lbs.
