KORG Volca Mix - 4-channel analog mixer with stereo expander, side-chain compressor, and built-in speakers

The KORG volca mix is ​​the analog mixer designed to get the most out of the volca series live and in the studio. In an ultra-compact format, it offers 4 mixing channels (2 mono + 1 stereo + stereo AUX In/Return ) with volume faders , LO/HI CUT filters per channel , send control, and independent mute . The analog master chain integrates a stereo image expander and a compressor with side-chain behavior to give your patterns punch and movement. It includes stage output and monitor (simultaneous stereo RCA + headphones) and built-in stereo speakers for portable sessions without additional equipment.

In addition to mixing, the Volca Mix coordinates your set: it features an analog SYNC Out with play and tempo control to synchronize multiple units and trigger them simultaneously. Its power section includes three 9V DC outputs (up to 800mA total) to directly power three Volcas with the included DC-DC cables . Connectivity is completed with a Send Out and AUX In stereo mini-jack for integrating an external processor—such as a mini Kaoss Pad—or using the AUX as a fourth stereo channel for a mobile app, compact drum machine, or other source.
