    I had no idea I would spend today watching different creators on RUclips going wild with the new firmware for my favorite synth. It's a day well spent.

    Your experience with modular has really transferred well to other instruments. It's like you view everything as modular now, and you've reached an enlightened state of being with no limits.

      Yes!!

    • @Mamadordeculosprofesional

      Ableton also really lends itself to this since you can basically put an endless chain of midi modulation tools and an endless chain of effects to turn on and off in the same freaking channel. And Red takes advantage of that beautifully. I get excited everytime he whips out the Push.

    Bloody hell that last track was badass, Microfreak is cool and all, but Jeremy is the master, could give him a marimba to sample and he'd still melt your face off.

    I get the idea of wavetables but struggled to make them sound good. 0:41 and 1:15 is what I like. I'm guessing if I play around with the cycling envelope modulating one or more of the 4 red knobs I should be able to get something like it.

    Wow, nice one dude!! Was not expecting the total f**n BANGER at the end!! Champion Status over here on the Microfreak (well, Ableton too!!) Nonstop modulation madness insanity that did NOT end up sounding like noise, with those LFOs providing the sick staccato off-time-y rhythms! Which you've demonstrated beautifully for us in this ace new video, i daresay one of your finest. Subscribed! Now excuse me I've got to go fire up the Microfreak!! 4 firmware updates deep; this thing just keeps getting better and better!

    I use the same exact method to modulate my external analog synths that don't have much modulation options available, like my sub phatty, bass station 2, alpha juno, etc... Great thing too is you can save everything in your project, especially if your external synth has a vst editor!

    always excellent presentations RMR, question, hope it's not too far off topic (concerning drum synth LXR-02) Do you think the MicroFreak and LXR-02 would sound good/proper audio with both plugged separately into Digitakt's mono inputs? So i guess what I'm really asking you, would the LXR-02 sound good just as one mono send into Digitakt? No problem with the MicroFreak as it's mono all the way. My setup's goin' small and want to get the most out of all the gear features. On the LXR-02 I would lose any panning settings and the stereo ping pong effect i guess. The three would make quite a good sound design/composition workstation I think, unique... microfreak MICROFREAK MicroFreak, thanks

    • @RedMeansRecording
      @RedMeansRecording  2 года назад +1

      It would sound mono. If you use the stereo reverb and delay you would only get mono. Not the end of the world.

      Toy? Not at all , it’s the best digital synth for the money, it has like 14 synth engines ,including VA,FM and lots of modular oscillators , it has a speech synth, vocoder , Jesus the list goes on , it’s a pressure sensitive keyboard as well that can be connected to any part of the synth e.g LFO, timbre ,pitch, filter etc, best synth I’ve ever owned , it’s a little toy like in its construction though ,it’s totally plastic , mine is in a custom wooden case that I made myself , it looks more professional like that , it’s all about the sound , it sounds great and I love it , I own analogue synths, neutron , crave etc but I’d gladly give them away if I could only keep one synth
