03-The Arturia Microfreak- Oscillator types C: Wavetable

[@kw7865]

Totally trust Doty to be the only reviewer who covers all the oscillator types... And of course he even goes through every wavetable....

[@automaticgainsay]

:::daydreams about sponsorship::: Thank you for thinking that I have any prowess at all in regard to business or my own value. I'd like to let everyone believe that I know how to get money out of anyone.

[@automaticgainsay]

P.S. It will happen with the Easel. :)

[@jamesmhebert]

Hey, your coverage gained my sub and this is only the second one I’ve viewed! This is an awesome resource. Thank you.

[@davidhodgin8900]

Those waves were brutal for the first two thirds of the video. Thanks for showing the possibilities with those sounds and not just it’s capability.

[@MrSpasticdancer]

this synth is very exciting. i really appreciate you going through every wavetable

[@mark35mi]

Shape / Chorus effect on the wavetable.... SUCH a different / coolness to the wavetable! Brilliant!

[@RhysP65]

Really enjoying these reviews. I've had a Microfreak for a few weeks & it's an astonishingly versatile & deep synth, so much going on with it. I mainly use Moog & Analogue Solutions synths but this little digital beast does not disappoint.

[@lit3work]

Great review thank you. I have had it for a couple weeks and still being surprised by it. Cracking little synth and so deep.

[@TheLunarSurface]

Just got one of these baby’s a few weeks ago. Thanks for showing me through the minutia man!

[@adventureswithsteve2981]

I just got a Microfreak last week and really appreciate your video , here is a nice effect to try , modulate the shape (chorus) with the LFO sync off at 0.2hz +/- its nice with chords

[@patrickr6505]

The LF0 doesn't go to 0•2..It goes to 0•6...Did you mean the value of the Matrix amount?

[@tylerallen6435]

Thanks for going so in depth with this synth, you've helped me create patches I didn't know we're possible 😎

[@noodlingaround2023]

Man, you really made this thing come alive. I want to get as much out of my Microfreak as I possibly can. Your videos are so much help. Thanks a lot.. One thing. Did you make a vid about the step sequencer..? Can't seem to get my head around it...

[@automaticgainsay]

Thank you! That video is on the way!

[@noodlingaround2023]

Ah, brilliant.. Your videos are excellent. I'm going to watch them several times until I really get the hang of this thing. Many thanks.

[@patrickr6505]

Just got the Microfreak..This thing is amazing.. Must be hundreds of different tones n sounds..

[@MrOuija-rr8kq]

The microfreak is the Jurassic Park of digital synths. Fight me

[@New_Zealand_Music]

People are talking about it's organ like tone and even comparing some sounds well in some cases a lot of sounds to the farfisa organ you should really check this video out especially when he turns the pedals on I think you'll see what I mean I think there's some coding there. Arturia Farfisa V Tutorial. Well........🤔

[@SparklesofGold]

THANK YOU ...AGAIN

[@flickeringscreens]

Cool how they now have custom wavetables.

[@truthseeker3907]

Thumbs up! :-)

[@frankschneider7190]

Is it really neccessary to produce so much parts?

[@automaticgainsay]

Short answer: yes. Long answer: What the fuck are you talking about?

[@orangenotviolet]

Was it really neccessary you wrote this?

[@frankschneider7190]

Yep

[@OscillatorSink]

Frank, you know that no one is forcing you to watch this video, right? Right? Right.

Great review as always. But sadly I think this thing sounds.... well.... bad. Like it’s the illegitimate child of the Korg poly-800

[@bembeleee]

people in the synth world and reviewers think differently and to me it's sounds great as welll. Actually most of the people like it It's a sytnh with many faces and sound possibilities. If a person is saying it's sound's bad it only means you don't have the potential to do something with it and use the potential which is mycrofreak offering you😉

[@alexhauptmann298]

in what universe is that a problem lmao

[@veeceeoh]

I'm sorry but my Korg EX-800 is the illegitimate child of the Poly-800, and it is totally offended by your comment.

[@jc3drums916]

I finally had a chance to try one out. It can sound rather like a cheap toy if you don't get the osc settings dialed in, worse than any of my analogs when they aren't dialed in. However, it is capable of some really nice sounds. The Modal osc sounded especially good, especially when you increase the inharmonicity, but unfortunately Karplus-Strong was disappointing, and could not come close to what Plaits or even 2hp Pluck can do. If Arturia had stuck with what was in Plaits instead, I probably would have bought one. Even if I only use half the oscs, the sequencer, filter, and mod matrix make it worth it. But not with K-S sounding the way it does.

[@automaticgainsay]

My goal is to help you decide if a synth is for you. If you hate this synth, I’m not sad. I feel like I have accomplished something.

[@frankschneider7190]

EXTREMELY BORING PRESENTATION!!!!!!

[@automaticgainsay]

I’m sorry but comments like that are only allowed if you support them effectively with objective observations, expertise, and a distinct lack of douchebaggery. I’m sorry, Frank. Also, it’s widely held that any more than three exclamation points is stupid. Three equals the loudest you can petulantly yell something. Let’s do an experiment. Okay, yell something pathetic like you do, and yell it as loud as you possibly can. Now yell it again, but louder than you possibly can. You failed, didn’t you. Yeah, see? That was just four exclamation points, and you couldn’t do it. Now do you see how moronic six is? I hope this helps.

[@frankschneider7190]

BOOOoOoOoRING!!!

[@automaticgainsay]

That’s better on one count, and problematic on another.

[@rockhead11]

Isn’t it amazing how complete idiots like this guy insult the presenter but have nothing good, positive or intelligent to offer?

[@drackaris_]

Frank thank you for allowing Automatic Gainsay to write a response which elicited an extremely hearty chuckle out of me.

[@-K3C-]

have u been paid to demo this crap?

[@automaticgainsay]

Oh, look! An anonymous contentless person is bitter about something.

[@orangenotviolet]

You can watch something you understand, if you don't like this. Youporn or so...

[@freefinancialadvice]

I watch synth videos and porn together. It’s a fetish.
