Community developers are writing their own custom firmware, also called alternative firmware, for the Volca Bass. This is a selection, not every fork or experiment: we list the projects with a working build and a real following, and check them every day. FW Radar doesn’t host these files and doesn’t send alerts for their versions: each link opens the developer’s page.
Fixes two bugs of Korg's 1.02 firmware for people who drive other gear from a Volca Bass with a MIDI out mod: notes go out with their real velocity instead of always 127, and slides play correctly.
Unmaintained: the author no longer owns a Volca Bass. Korg's 1.02 can be reinstalled.

It’s written by independent developers, not by Korg. Some projects are stable, others are early betas: read each developer’s notes before you flash.
Yes: load the official 1.02, as described in the official update guide.
We pick the ones worth trying: a build you can install and a real following, from GitHub stars and downloads or from the community. Forks that only rename a project or add a few presets stay out, and brand-new projects get a second look after their first week.
We note the latest version each developer has published when we check the list, every day, but we don’t send alerts for it: alerts are only for official Korg firmware.
