Instead of stopping the sequencer or arp and starting again on a new pitch, you can also hold the Shift button and touch any key on the keyboard to transpose the pattern instantly. The screen will show you by how many semitones you are transposing up or down from the original starting pitch.

Yes I literally pressed every possible 2 button combo to figure out everything hahahaha. Manual is over 130 pages who needs it. Jk read the manual or press all the button like the elevator which is more fun.

The aesthetic, the sounds, the jam : perfect.

[@chiefbucknell]

Great timing-I’ve had an Impact, and I only just got a Microfreak, and they’re both as great (and great value) as basically everyone seems to be saying. 😄

[@markfwarren1]

This is my setup!!! Add a Microcosm with midi sync and its glorious... highly recommend that pedal :)

[@cyril185]

What routing/connection do you use?

[@EZBOT_]

Steven is a fantastic presenter!

[@project3227]

[@PaulBoos]

Agree

[@rojcrisp1009]

How are these two devices wired up and connected to?

[@argniests5357]

Can you explain how you have these devices connected? thank you.

[@marcohuerta510]

Sweet Seiko SNK809 on your wrist. Also great to see how you're making some great beats with some often overlooked gear.

[@project3227]

Thank you so much!! Seiko for life :)

[@renevanderkraats224]

Really impressive. A lot of demos of the Microfreak sound a bit harsh, your jam just sounded so fluid and warm!

[@KipCount]

Very cool. Which device do you have set as the master clock? And are you using an 1/8" trs or ts cable for the clock connection?

[@RedMeansRecording]

Hot jams

[@PaulBoos]

I'll add Arturia has been great about adding new oscillator source engines to the Microfreak since I bought it a few years ago. This makes it even a bigger bargain.

[@dankery1]

But how do you connect the two...asking ahead of Christmas. I already have a Microfreak

[@salvadormurillo5463]

Im a drummer and im new on this. How do you connect the clock for both? So I can have a controlled BPMs. Actually , i also have the microbrute. I would like to sync all 3 of them. Any help please?

[@TC-lk2ev]

theres a clock input on the back of the microfreak. Plug a 3.5mm cable into that and the drumbrute and the microbrute. it should sync up, if it doesn't, go into the menu on the microfreak and theres some clock settings in there.

[@valterbeicinha9633]

what headphones you got there :o

[@claycowartisamazing]

glad they gave the drumbrute some much needed IMPACT. Shit was sounding like a limp dixon.
