    do they make a mega freak with 88 keys? and a pitch bend/vibrato in the left hand so we can shred solos on it.

    • @lesynthlofi
      @lesynthlofi 12 дней назад

      I think a bunch of us are waiting for a big Freak! As for pitchbend, you can have fun with the touchstrips in the MiniFreak.

      @lesynthlofi You too! Made the first track of 2025 already and published it here on RUclips. May not be much, but I enjoyed the process. Your video makes me want to purchase that MicroFreak, even if I know fully well I will not be able to play it in years to make sounds like those on the video

    • @lesynthlofi
      @lesynthlofi Месяц назад

      It’s always best to compare what the screen shows when you turn it on, and what is on Arturia’s website. In my experience, I’ve often had to update firmware on new synth purchases. It’s worth it (!) and you learn how to use the super helpful software librarian.

  • @mightymightyironhead
    @mightymightyironhead Месяц назад

    Actually the very low preset volume level for a lot of the sounds is disapointing for me, ok its a matter of just going into the menu and adjusting the sound, but as soon as you change to another preset sound, the volume for the first sound resets to the low sound volume, so you have to do the reset every time you want to audition preset sounds. Its a very odd choice to impliment this feature and i have owned many synths and keyboards over the years and not one of them has had this.

    • @lesynthlofi
      @lesynthlofi Месяц назад

      Unfortunately, I have seen this in other synths over the years, particularly but not only in software. The manufacturers should always do due diligence and make sure that the presets are even in terms of loudness. Sadly, some don’t it would seem.

  • @jeffoff7795
    @jeffoff7795 2 месяца назад

    I absolutely hate the keyboard but otherwise it's really an incredible synth. I like the idea of the PCB keys but they're too small and they're really hard to play. It's limiting for me. I still use it and I'm still learning so I appreciate the tutorials.

    Can I sync the Microfreak to a Behringer RD-6 drum machine? I assume I can, right? Thanks for this video, I plan on getting a Microfreak soon!! Just subscribed, too!

    • @lesynthlofi
      @lesynthlofi 2 месяца назад

      Thanks for subscribing! I don’t have the RD-6, but you should be able to do this by sending the Sync Out of the RD-6 to the Clock Input of the MicroFreak.

    Wow!! Very detailed video..... in fact, quite over my head 😳 Found it interesting, but very confusing.... sorry!! Maybe because I'm not very technologically wired 😵‍💫 But I do enjoy messing around with this machine......... Anyway, the question I'd have is > If I upgrade the firmware and get all these new features, do I loose all the old / original presets?

    • @lesynthlofi
      @lesynthlofi 2 месяца назад

      As far as I know, you won’t lose your presets.

    • @Michaelvan-g3q
      @Michaelvan-g3q 2 месяца назад

      ​@@lesynthlofi thanks for your reply!! Ok, so can I presume any new presets that come with new firmware updates just get added to the firmware 1 list?

    • @lesynthlofi
      @lesynthlofi 2 месяца назад

      @Michaelvan-g3q if I remember correctly, each new updated presets show up in their own folder, but I can’t vouch for that 100%. I’m not in MicroFreak land these days as I’m deep into my new subject: Moog Labyrinth

    i sold a lot of gear to finance two of them. i use the send to save the volume in the kits and route them all single into ableton. its my favourite drum machine ever. and i sold a pulsar, which i hated because of the alligator cables.

    • @riotghandi
      @riotghandi 2 месяца назад

      and my biggest con is that the kits and the pattern page have no different colours. i overwrote so many kits as failure. damned.

    Wow, this is amazing. I got the MF last spring and honestly I was just kind of intimidated. I was very familiar with subtractive synthesis but found it hard to even wrap my head around the mod matrix of the MF. I’m getting back to it now though and loving it, and found your video so helpful. Great editing too!

    Ha, you had me fooled, really thought you were gonna say you weren't keeping it at the end. ;) Nice plot twist! Still wondering (for myself) years later if this will be the one that makes a big difference or will go unused and then sold like so many before. :) Really want to the new AlphaBase as well.
