Korg Volca Beats - midi mapping

The Volca Beats is a cute but powerful drum.
Perfect for live performance. The sequencer is a bit limited. so midi mapping to an
external sequencer would be useful.
I'm using the Pioneer Toraz Squid as my midi sequencer.

So the volca doesn't start playing the moment you start the Squid
you need to enter the Global function setting.

1. Start the Volca while holding the func key, wait for it to start.
2. press step 6 (the light should go off), press Rec.
    Now the sequencer will not start when you press play in your DAW or your Midi sequencer.
  

  (It looks like the default midi receive channel is 10... the same as the Roland 707 & 909).
       I'm leaving it as it is.

If you wish to change the midi receive channel:

1. While holding down the MEMORY button, turn on the volca beats.
2. Step buttons 1 to 16 correspond to the MIDI channels 1 to 16.
    Press the button that corresponds to the desired channel, and the LED below the
    step button will light up
3. When you have finished specifying the settings, press the  (REC) button.
     The settings will be saved, and the volca beats will be restarted.
     If you decide to cancel the settings, press the  (PLAY) button.


Also in the Global setting
1. Start the Volca while holding the func key, wait for it to start.
2. Press step 7. MIDI RX ShortMessage
     Set  to off (St.oF)
3.  press Rec. to save

There are 10 voices to map

1. kick C2
2. Snare D2
3. Lo Tom G2
4. Hi Tom D3
5. CL Hat F#2
6. Open Hat A#2
7. Clap D#2
8. Claves D#5
9. Agogo G4
10. Crash C#3

 Renaming projects in squid
* use the shift, main knob, Track Button & back button ..
Press shift + press main knob = space.
Shift + back = delete
arrow keys move forward & back
*  shift + Track --- you can rename tracks, change their colour, etc

*** The Volca sample  has a different midi implementation to the Volca Beats.
       In the Sample, each voice has its own MIDI channel. ***
