After being able to make out some of the details on these pics, I am going to guess that these are at a higher price point than I initially thought. The keys one looks like a motion sequencer. The 3 osc on the bass, etc. Memory (obviously for the sequencer but I also wonder if you can save patches), midi.

So far it looks like each one is going to have some special features, like the different sequencers-step vs motion.

Working on getting a Drum Machine pic.

Really glad that Korg is stepping out into a right path and pretty sure will be making lots of sales for their new upcoming products, this might've put Roland corp. panicking with their boring workstation keyboards "innovations". Guitars, pedals, amps.. then synths.. and now these electronic crap? This is a bad era for average joes, I really couldn't save money with all these gas-es .. gotta destroy my internet connection and becoming an amish

I am wondering about the name Volca...VOLtage Controlled Analog acronym?

If that is the case, then is there a CV patchbay on the back or something. Just my thoughts, and how fucking rad would that be?

There are at least tr jacks for Sync (goatkeeper, iphone korg app etc). And midi in. That is pretty cool!

Let me add fuel to the fire.
Rumor is that these are to be less than 140 euro, so that is less than $190USD!!!

Also,
Da Fuck?
bass station ii:

Bass Station II is an analogue mono-synth based on the classic original Bass Station but re-worked for the 21st century. It has two filters, two oscillators plus a third sub-oscillator, patch save and a fully analogue effects section. Add a step sequencer, arpeggiator, full sized keys and a powerful modulation section and you have the makings of a synth that is built for bass, but capable of so much more.

I saw that there was a new bass station a few days ago but I didn't check it out. Apparently it is a new mono synth with an integrated step sequencer. Like a SH101...
