Still after years the microfreak is an amazing synth

I love my Microfreak..I run it through my 17 pedal pedal board in glorious stereo..

[@TheEllis197]

I love mine so much I got a second one! It does so many great things but I wanted to do some of those things at the same time

[@mastersunfish]

I have the MiniFreak and I have made some cool patches but it seems like I enjoy browsing presets and making changes to them because it can be kind of confusing to make good patches

[@kvart011]

3 time preset knob clicks and you got INIT preset, no need for scrolling;)

[@NotThatCoolKid]

Thnx for the tip!

[@VELVET462]

ahhh I unfortunately sold this synthesizer 2 years ago, and I hate myself for it. It was so much fun, and the unit offers incredible value for money. Coupled with some reverb or delay pedals, the possibilities are endless! I'll definitely be buying it again soon . Actually i made a track a few years ago and the Lead arp was created with this microfreak, the track is called "Rxt - femme fatale" Starting from minute 1:55, the melody slowly fades in. If you'd like to give it a listen.

Hi, where can i find it? And luckilly they are still made so they dont have an insane vintage valeu ;)

[@VELVET462]

[@NotThatCoolKid]

It is so much fun! So, sorry my friend, luckilly it aint thar expensive!

[@hellf.o]

@@NotThatCoolKid 👍😁👍

I love mine but Arturia needs to make a V2: add effects, add sequencer LEDs, drop the keys on the micro and make the mini have better velocity sensitive, and either make the screen 4x bigger with touch or have more stamp-sized small OLED screens for the different functions

[@deathmetalhell]

you are not qualified to make this video

[@NotThatCoolKid]

Says who based on what?

[@spankface]

@deathmetalhell You are not qualified to make that assumption.

[@zabtej1645]

Tried it in person, felt and sounded like a cheap piece of crap.

[@mastersunfish]

I have the minifreak it is quite nice not sure about microfreak

[@AudioSpaceGeek]

The keys aren’t for everyone but you can easily control it with a standard keyboard. As for it sounding cheap…either something was broken or set wrong, because I have zero problem getting lush, deep sound from mine.

[@AnomieDomine]

Sounds great but needs something else for effects like an nts-1
