To be clear, the Volca FM can store 32 "programs" (what we would call patches/presets in many iOS synths).

However, they built in limitations to the freemium version, so I quickly opted from the $19.99 IAP once I verified that it worked.

Patch Base is a free app, and it WILL work with the Volca as a limited editor for free.

Here's some initial impressions of using the Volca with Patch Base: So, I want to clear a few things up, because ' comments were helpful, but also left me with a few more questions. Part of that is that I spent literally months debating whether I should pre-order, then researching how to use the darn thing and thumbing around with Patch Base before the Volca even arrived. Volca FM arrived this morning! Holy crap do I love this thing! I think all of the Volcas have their virtues and are a great value, but none of them were as immediately useful and inspiring as this one. I just want to be able to swap patches in and out and maybe make some minor adjustments on the iPad.

It's actually quite good, and I got pretty comfortable accessing the libraries of 1000's of free DX7 files you can find online from over the past 30 years.

On desktop, there is a free VST called "Dexed". (Audibly, it sounds kind of like the screeching noise of a fax machine while it's being sent over). While I'm still learning about this, my understanding is that the DX7 patches are in "sysex" form, which can be transmitted over a MIDI cable and interpreted as a stream of data, which the Volca FM assembles as the parameters of a patch. I have a Korg Volca FM was looking into different mobile and desktop options for both editing DX7 patches and transferring them to the Volca FM. Was curious about a couple of apps by developer "Coffeeshopped" (great name, by the way): Patch Base (Free but $19.99 each for device specific IAP's) & Sysex Base ($9.99).
