Today I want to talk about a feature added to the Volca Drum after launch that I think is a big deal. The feature is pitch quantization, which allows you to set pitch by note. I'll show you how to install this feature, how to access it in the part parameters menu, and how to program a simple melodic pattern.

To check the firmware version on your Volca Drum, hold down the play button and turn it on. The display will show you two numbers: "MAI" is your main system version, and "PNL" is your panel version. If your main system version is older than 1.14, you're gonna need to update.
Get the version 1.14 system updater from Korg here: https://www.korg.com/us/support/downl...
There are some other changes that I didn't cover here which you can see in the release notes. I still don't know what "MIDI Song Position Pointer" is...
