The MiniFreak has Samples Now

[@RemixSample]

Oh! This is really nice! What a cool update!

[@soozafone]

- Oh Arturia Minifreak™, I'm just feeling real low - I have samples now - Oh shit, for real?

[@oddlyenoughproductions1674]

Dude my mind is blown. Arturia is on another level. Thanks for the great video, as always!

[@cjlewis79]

Somehow got the Microfreak synth AND the minifreak VST. So. Much. Fun!!!

[@kenzgbr]

Jeremy after 3 days with the MiniFreak - this. Me after 3 days with the MiniFreak - Init saw wave with filter cutoff and reverb.

[@Kaffimusic]

Hey man, your reviews are among the best. Just well done, no blabla, no posing and I always understand you know what you are talking about. Hey Arturia, how about a at least 4oct normal size version with 2 independent minis inside...? Hm?

[@d3tuned378]

I'm hoping this means the update is available to download now! This machine is magical

[@jessymina]

As always watching you do such a fun way of demonstrating updates to rad af machines is a great way to spend a morning with coffee!

[@brandonlasater8613]

23:28 holy heavy

[@FernandoCarvalhoprod]

oh! Minifreak software was one of my favorite synths already, this update makes my desire to get the hardware overwhelming.

[@RossSigworth]

Awesome stuff, really enjoyed the approach and walkthrough of the new engines

[@leftthechatsound]

I've been dreaming of this day

[@RikMaxSpeed]

I’ve been waiting for this - a logical succession to the MicroFreak which also introduced samples a while back. So awesome!

[@jamescollins3009]

I found out about this through a notification on the Arturia software center. Christmas came early!!

[@offbeep]

Tasty beans all right in the hands of a magical chef

[@fauxlamarr]

My New Year’s resolution is to spend more time with my minifreak

[@SamDarley]

14:07 hell yeah I love Autechre

[@ricopags]

I was this || close to buying myself a microfreak for sample/granular but now I can just update my minifreak! 😮 Huzzah! 🎉

[@Fleeology]

I love Arturia so much, I could marry it. Thx RMR.

[@willswitchcraft]

excellent upload.......I recently purchased a MicroFreak, so I'm familiar with a lot of these sounds..............even though these are relatively affordable synths, I find them endlessly inspiring..............hats off to Arturia, and you, for doing such masterful presentations for us......................

[@niceheartwhitesuit]

good lordt... I just got a deal on a Take 5 (and love it) but the minifreak really is the gift that keeps on giving...

[@TDB_Music]

No way, I just googled if this was possible yesterday as I’m considering that synth! Must be a sign from the music gods

[@kokorolofi]

This is so damn exciting! I feel like I was just sent an entirely new synth for free!

[@kokorolofi]

Also, yes, some kind of panning feature would be so so good! I'm wondering if you could set up some kind of panner with one of the chorus models. have you tried this? I'm gonna see what I can get out of something like that today.

[@HarmonicSonics.]

Ohhhhh nice! Yay

[@RicTakaden]

Boy howdy, only just started the video but reverse kalimba got me feeling some kind of way. Might be one of the nicest sounds I can think of. Seems like a great selection!

[@paintedfoxes9889]

well, somebody just sold me on getting a mini freak synth. I just bought the model 15 synth for that dreamy vintage synth sound. after seeing this I know i need one of these. as a sampler i love this. I wish Akai would add something like this to their MPC software.

[@ThePointingArrows]

Now I’m even happier to have purchased V collection last sales! Minifreak V at this point alone justifies all of the investment

[@MD_Builds]

Some square pusher there i see :D around 23:40

[@alecsbuga]

Loading a sample as an oscillator is my favorite sampler feature. And for those manufacturers that don’t allow freaking chords because of “creative limitations” they can gtfo.

[@nkozi]

Jeremy, never apologize for your colorful mush.

[@indigosnow_]

Epic!

[@rubberducky5383]

I think i saw Lick, but first? in an Elden Ring message the other day

[@SonicExplorer]

Maybe we will get a Superfreak in 2025 with 61 full size keys 👀

[@_rkrd]

03:54 oh hello jungle

[@VacancyOfDisco]

23:28 is giving skinny puppy

[@Kermareg]

Sounds better when you play than me 😝

[@jriceblue]

Nice. ...but minikeys. When they go full polyfreak, dammit, I'm in.

[@GUILLE-nu8rv]

Agreed

[@Kuronoichig01]

Minifreak is king imo.. What other synth(s) can do all this?!

[@quantum_ocean]

so can we load up our own samples? WAV format? length limits? Can you record from the audio in, or do you need to transfer from PC?

[@RikMaxSpeed]

Assuming this is similar to what they did on the MicroFreak, the answer is yes, but very limited sample space.

[@dreamstaticsounds]

No. You cannot. Supposedly will be able to load user samples in a future update according to Synth Anatomy. They really need to be more transparent about this sort of thing.

[@FutureFenyx]

is there user sample import or am I stuck with the limited samples they added? I'm seeing no way to import user samples here. Microfreak has user samples and user wavetables...this has only presets wavetables and samples I think ?

[@legitimatefrenzy]

Is this on microfreak as well?

[@owRekssjfjxjxuurrpqpqss]

Does this come to the minifreak VST as well? Hope so. Trying to move as far away from boxed VST synths as possible.

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

I feel pretty much the same about digital synths in general, especially since VST’s have gotten so good. I made an exception for the Polyend Synth. The three way split touch pads are so unique and useful.

[@Canadianblaken]

Are these samples vsts that they offer separately? Or is this specific to the minifreak?

[@TheMorningIWokeUpDead]

Oh man, goes to my ever growing shopping list with this update for sure... i've been looking for something like this! Was thinking of some modular vector/granular stuff but this came just in time. Do you get anything, if I buy it from thomann thru your link? just asking so I remember to do it so!

[@err_rawr]

fake plants Jeremy? I am shocked, shocked. also love the video and demos v. cool - no minfreak here but it's nice to see it getting some updates

[@mattwest8642]

Which would you guys say is better, the Minifreak or the Korg Multi Poly

[@VacancyOfDisco]

I hope there's a flagship mini/micro freak synth at some point! Like a Polybrute 12 with these oscillators. I probably won't be able to afford it, but it would make me happy to know it exists lol

[@RikMaxSpeed]

They could make a 12 voice 61-note super-synth out of this and it would beat everything else out there.

[@RealityShiftUK]

Paraphonic mode with 12 voices actualy sounds really good

[@adsick_ua]

It's a good opportunity to say that Arturia's firmware update experience was a nightmare, especially in the early days of MiniFreak. Many people have bricked their synths by simply updating them because apparetly sending a new firmware over USB in a reliable manner is way too hard for our time.

[@adsick_ua]

I didn't update to the latest version yet coz honestly 1) I don't think I like the synth (I just don't wanna take it off the shelf) 2) shitty update experience scared me even more so I don't wanna risk bricking again 3) all the knobs and buttons feel too stiff for me, gotta push like crazy with a loud click 4) sequencing is finicky, I wish there was no sequencer at all - can always use external one 5) keys are small, not pleasant, and for whatever reason don't have poly-aftertouch

[@adsick_ua]

I wish it had a touch strip keyboard the same as the predecessor. It was a cool distinctive feature and it had polyphonic aftertouch.

[@adsick_ua]

Also it feels cheaply made - when I hold it, it makes a crackling sound like nothing else (and this is considering the fact that I'm extremely gentle on any kind of tech)

[@adsick_ua]

Also why is the screen so damn small, couldn't they fit at least 30% bigger screen? corner cutting is everywhere

[@FloValence]

My unit is out for repairs 😢

[@mju135]

Wish my ex had ever treated me as well as Arturia is treating me.

[@floydhopkins7901]

FFS I just bought a hydrasynth over the mini freak for various reasons but after this update I'm getting some serious fomo.

[@scooba789]

You can't load your own samples though...

[@TechnoNates]

Wish I didn't sell mine

[@Mystiskmusli]

I can't defend not getting this machine anymore

[@znxster]

For what this has in the tank .. its incredible cheap.

[@quantumsheep]

:O

[@kalmarnagyandras]

Lol, all the synthtuber videos dropping all at once

[@offbeep]

Lol, all the vapid comments from tubertrolls dropping all at once

[@JasonBunting]

Right? Thank God there are people who show us new things, and considering the range of personality types, it's a good thing there are many creators sharing at the same time

[@JasonBunting]

​@@offbeeptrolls are gonna troll

[@Canadianblaken]

Usually timed that way because of release NDAs

[@spintonik]

And 4 hours later, they do not show up even with keyword search. I had to go through RMR main page and browse new videos

[@CatFish107]

Pffffft. Big deal. My microfreak had samples ages ago. And it has a touchplate. (Bafflingly smug about consumer purchases grin goes here)

[@quantum_ocean]

oh wow so lame. the samples are fixed presets. You can't load your own. Enjoy industrial techno with kalimba ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@d3tuned378]

It's confirmed no user samples? I'll still make good use of this, plenty of ways to mangle samples. Makes me glad I'm keeping the micro though.

[@offbeep]

Hope you’ll get your oompa loompa in the next update.

[@RikMaxSpeed]

AFAIK you can upload your own samples on the MicroFreak so would be odd if that wasn’t supported here too.

[@Koettnylle]

How did you implement sampling in your hardware synth design?

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

@RikMaxSpeed, Cannot upload your own samples with this update. Arturia says the capability will be in a future update.
