If you're an Ok Go fan and want to make your own music using samples that the band used on its latest album, Hungry Ghosts, then Korg has the tool for you.
Korg has unveiled a new limited-edition version of its Volca-Sample sample sequencer, featuring Ok Go art and loaded with a number of audio clips used by Ok Go in the making of its new album.
The sequencer features 100 sounds in total that you can check out, along with a multitouch keyboard that can be used to trigger these sounds, and a 16-step sequencer enabling you to make your own music with them. In case you're on the "ok go" you can also power the device using six AA batteries.
The new device is the latest in Korg's Volca line, which includes a range of products like the Volca Keys, Volca Bass, and Volca Beat. The original Volca Sample is also a part of that lineup.
Of course, if you're a fan of the art but don't want to use the Ok Go samples or want to combine them with other samples, the Korg Volca Sample is much more than an audio clip player. Using the device, you can splice up your own samples to create beats of your own. The device includes a MIDI input as well as an audio input, enabling you to record sounds from the world around you or from tracks that you like. You can then order them however you want to make a new song of your own.
You can buy the new sequencer for yourself later this month for $160.
