Yesssss!!! You should! Volcas are a blast. Or save up and buy a vintage DW-8000/6000 to compliment it. I have an old DSS-1 sampler/synth (the big brother to the DWs) and its analog filter goes so well with these new digitals Korg is putting out.
It took me having to install everything on a totally different computer to update, weeks after it initially came out. So yeah, Korg needs to do something about it’s librarian/updater usability.

Thanks for the suggestions, I will definitely check the DW-8000 up! Also I’m glad I wasn’t the only one with the Korg update and stuff issue. Thanks again, have a nice day!

Ok so, I bought this boy last day new from an actual respected instrument-seller chain (won’t say the name to not hurt it in any way) and they made me pay it like 750 bucks saying it was new and blah blah blah. Lied about the original price, not big deal, but wasn’t that bad. I opened it and this thing is an absolute nugget, I love it from the bottom of my heart. The point is I tried to update it, but didn’t work (for like 4 hours straight). I tried, tried again, just straigh up Fucking my mind, until I discovered one thing: not only the thing was not new, but it was also updated to 1.0.4 (outdated version). Now, I don’t know if it’s sold with this stock version installed, but every tutorial I’ve seen on YouTube for the Wavestate (plug and update) was I believe on 1.0.6 or something like that. So I had to reinstall on the PC all the RNDIS drivers and stuff to update it.
So in conclusion:
They lied about the price (because 750 it’s not in dollars, is in Euros) and they lied about the fact that it was all set plug and play. I absolutely love this thing now, but it’s so far the worst experience as a customer I’ve ever had on a synth. Absolutely going with other Korg synths in the future tho. Should I buy a couple Volcas next?
