so I'm noticing sometimes I'll hit the same key on my Volca Keys and I'll get a different note from it. Is this some sort of setting I'm not understanding or am I just fat-fingering the buttons?

edit: it seems to be from when I hold down multiple notes at once. seems weird?

one of the oscillators is detuned and it's cycling through them in the mode you're in. would be my guess

rtfm, not in a mean way but because it's about a page and volcas do a lot of stuff with very few buttons, not all of it totally intuitive

I turned down the detune all the way and that seemed to fix it. thanks for the help!

Having so much fun with my neutron, keystep sequencing and Valhalla vsts in Ableton. If anyone loving sucks at music and doesn't know how to play keys, I highly suggest this combo to scratch the itch. I've been copying some patches and then doing my best to deconstruct them or use them as a starting point, good times.

It’s absolutely absurd that my dumb rear end has yet to own a theremin.

I have a Scarlet Solo USB interface, but plugging the Volca Keys into it and then recording on Audacity produces no sound at all, anyone have any tips?

edit: I figured it out, nvm

1: make sure the volca is producing noise. that is, unplug the line out and make sure the speaker squaks when you push keys

2: bring up the monitoring software for the interface, is anything muted or turned down, do the vu meters for the channel your volca is plugged into rise and fall.

3: if you've cleared the first two steps, it's a setting in audacity which I can't really help you with but I'm sure someone else in the thread will
