A Volca is not a jack of all trades, they are each good at one thing, and this is something in common with the comeback of hardware in general.

Attack Mag nailed it with the “Democratization of Synthesis” line. Since purchasing my little Korg Volca boxes Tatsuya Takahashi has become a personal hero.
