@LikeSomeDude2 жыл бұрын
I own a TON of synths. Mostly vintage analog that I spent thousands of dollars on. recently, I was looking to buy a vocoder and was seriously considering dropping nearly two grand on the old Roland SVC but stopped bc I didn’t want to spend that much. I saw the micro freak, was intrigued, and figured at the price I couldn’t lose. I have to say that all my expectations were blown away. Actually, that’s not totally true: I WAS slightly disappointed with the vocoder; it is not particularly sensitive and so it is difficult to discern ANY lyrics put through it. If you are thinking of buying for only the vocoder, my advice is to get something else. HOWEVER! In spite of being disappointed w the vocoder, it was more than made up for by the flexibility of this incredible little synth! While exploring its nearly endless parameters for sound construction, I had the notion that after spending nearly a hundred thousand dollars on synths and drum machines over the years, that all I ever really needed was a micro freak and an Akai MPC to accomplish everything I needed for sound construction. I’m totally serious: it’s THAT good. If you sample this thing, the possibilities are endless; there’s SO MUCH you can do with this little BEAST! And the three analog filters on it make everything produced by the digital oscillators so SO lush! The drum kits I’ve created from sampling the micro freak truly blow me away. I can’t recommend this synth enough. And really, I can’t recommend Arturia’s products enough. The micro freak is a great synth but for your FIRST hardware synth, I might recommend the Micro Brute instead, especially if you are thinking of getting into modular synthesis. The micro freak has so much that it might be a little over the head of a beginner who might get lost menu diving if they’re unfamiliar with the effects in the modulation matrix. The micro brute really does teach you how modular synthesis works, with its small (but great) patchbay, and easy to understand ADSR envelope. Either way, freak or brute, you can’t lose. And as far as bang for your buck goes, it just doesn’t get any better than arturia. Enjoy the journey my friend and try not to spend ALL your money 😜

Now, the sequencer? I do not think I even knew the MF had that. I knew of the arp function though. How many notes can I play in the sequencer before it loops? I know a cheap Casiotone or Yamaha portasound keyboard from the 1980s can play at least one good 4 bar phrase(at a time sig of 4/4 count to 16 instead of one bar that only counts to 4, and loops). If the sequencer can hold a note capacity of 256 notes like most older cheap vintage portable keyboards(Yamaha PSS480), Korg Poly 800(256 steps), then I am in for a treat!!

Midi is just an audio signal passed through those DIN plugs, so many manufacturers have been moving to 3.5 with adapters as a new standard. The transition might feel awkward, but it frees up useful space on the UI and in circuit design. I felt a little uncomfortable at first also, but it’s more than fine in practice. Patchbays of similar size have been in use without drama for more decades than we’ve even had MIDI. Give it a try with an open mind.

the 3.5mm jacks and wires are prone to failure. much of the equipment I use runs on 3.5mm jacks, stereo soundcards for example. I recorded 7 full CD records using mostly 3.5mm, rca, and 1/4 inch jacks. rca was the most reliable and 3.5mm was the least reliable. I resoldered and used deoxit plenty, and I'm moderately gentle with my gear. what they are doing is selling you a $150 product for $400, without the respect of putting in decent audio and midi jacks. I have an associates in electronics and I've designed and built my own circuits. By using the cheap jacks, they are saving themselves about 5 dollars in manufacturing, and garanteeing that the unit will prematurely fail, so they can sell you the next thing.
