Description
Korg's 1.02 firmware sends every MIDI out note at velocity 127 and only plays a legato when the previous note has the same pitch. This build sends real velocities and plays legato for every note with the step slide set. Velocity can be recorded into the step sequencer only from external MIDI input. It is numbered 2.01 to tell it apart from Korg's releases, and the author says Korg's official file can be installed over it to go back. The author no longer owns a volca bass and calls the repository unmaintained.
Install notes
Installed with Korg's standard audio update procedure from the official volca bass manual. The author provides the file as use-at-your-own-risk.
