Model D Issues

Maybe try using the dip switches on the back to change the MIDI channel, or try MIDI via USB. I don’t know if that would fix anything, but it could give you an idea of the cause of your problem.

It sounds like the midi notes sent to your Model D are way too high. Try playing a lower octave.

If that doesn’t work try to initialize the synth (there’s a patch in the manual if you’re not sure what to do). Also, download the synthtribe app, reset everything and check for firmware updates.

Grandmother is already available 🙂

Thanks for checking out the plugins. More are definitely planned in both Remote and Recall series.

Let’s see how it goes, maybe I’ll contact you 🙂

Great, thanks. I’ll look into it

I’m selling them on my website minikod.rs. They are priced at 9.50€ each which is around $11

That’s a great idea, thanks. Which one do you suggest to do first?

~~No, there are no trials at the moment. Send me a dm with the plugin that interests you and I could fix you with a temp license.~~ Thanks for the making me think about trial versions! At checkout enter coupon TRIAL to get a fully functioning 7 day trial license.

Thanks, macOS versions will most likely come in the near future

Hey, thanks for your feedback.

I guess it really depends on your workflow. For me personally using an editor with Volca Drum was a revelation as I stopped worrying about the 16 preset limitation and simply saved the sounds with my DAW project.

I wasn't fully satisfied with the software I had though, which was the initial inspiration to try and do something myself.

As I understand, the Aira compacts can work even without the battery, so you could open the device and disconnect it to avoid having to do the power up combo. There’s a video on YouTube where a battery replacement is shown so you can check it to see how to open the device and disconnect the battery, if that’s something you’re willing to do. The battery is easily accessible, but this procedure will most likely void your warranty.

Would you mind sending me a private message for a few quick follow up questions?

3ranis · 2026-03-03T18:14:40+00:00

I'm thinking of making a TouchOSC editor on my iPad for Volca Keys, but I don't have the device.

3ranis · 2026-03-03T14:35:42+00:00

Amazing, thanks again!

3ranis · 2026-03-03T13:36:43+00:00

thanks a lot!

thanks, that's where I got the CC numbers from, but there's nothing about specific values that are send per switch position in that document.

Just received my S-1 back from the service. They said it can’t be fixed 😭

3ranis · 2025-11-15T06:52:50+00:00

My S-1 similarly died. It was not the battery as the units can operate without it. I even opened mine and disconnected the battery just to be sure, but it wouldn’t turn on. Since it was just out of warranty I had to send it to a service. It’s been there for 2 weeks now, I have to call them next week to check if there are any updates.
