Hi
Anyone know where I can find these knobs for the Korg Volca Sample ?
Any other design & kits suggestions for the Korg Volcas ?

volca is too hard to see where you left the knob in most lighting, even with a line as those have. Especially if you want to motion record and get back to the same spot. They look ok, but if you intend to pay money and go to the trouble of replacing them because you want to use the volca as it’s own control surface you would probably have better luck with something like this where you can feel and see the actual position in lighting which is less than ideal.

amplified parts has a lot of different knob styles, check it out and see if there’s some that you like. amazon has a lot of knobs as well.

Looking for the one’s in picture.
Need to know the knob size & the shafts.

Damn they have a real nice selection. Thanks for the resource, fixing to upgrade some potentiometers.

you need me to pull the knobs off my volca and check? are you just looking to buy a volca and don’t own one to check for yourself?
those are just generic knobs. not volca specific.
The height above the base and the overall height will be a bit of a juggling game - you’re best to find anecdotal info about users who have found the right balance
There’s a bunch on here
The key thing is 6mm splined
Not that my opinion has been requested, but these are all too chunky - I’d aim to source something closer in size to the original, less chance of nudging a neighbour

knobtron makes volca specific kits, but they look nothing like what you’re after. these are rings, they’re uv reactive. it’s the only volca specific knob I’ve seen personally, but there may be others I’m not aware of.
Knobotron - Tactile UV Reactive Knob Rings – Uwyn
hard to tell from your picture but I’m guessing it’s these 6mm knobs from amazon:
Taiss 10pcs Potentiometer knob,Rotary Knob,Black Metal 6 mm Knurled Shaft Insert Dia.Rotary Encoder knob Switch knobs,Volume Control Knob 15mm Dia. x 16mm Height: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific
I googled metal 6mm pot knobs barrel black and chrome, if you want to see if there’s a better match.
Want the one with the smooth edges.

I have some of those in the 2nd photo but can’t remember where I got them from. I’ll post back if I remember.

You can’t see which parameters have motion recording if you put opaque knobs on… just saying.

I’m slightly confused by what’s going on in this thread. Is there some new internet search strategy where you ignore helpful answers and just keep repeating the same question until someone else does the work for you?
