How do I set up my Korg Volca series synth module to sync to an external MIDI clock?
Syncing to an External MIDI Clock
- While holding down the FUNC button, turn on your Volca module.
- Press the Step 6 button.
- When the LED is lit, this means the clock is set to Auto. If it is off, the clock is set to internal. You want it to be set to Auto.
- When you’re done, press the REC button. The settings will be saved and the Volca module will restart. If you decide to cancel the settings, press the PLAY button.
- Now all you need to do is connect the MIDI out from your interface or MIDI device to the MIDI in on your Volca module. The Volca will automatically sync to your external MIDI clock.
Note: It may take the Volca a second or two to sync. After one time through the sequence it should be good to go. If you stop your external MIDI clock, the Volca will automatically switch back to its internal clock after a second or two.
Viola! You have successfully synchronized your Volca to an external MIDI clock. Click here for more Volca videos from Korg.
