    Nice demo. I have fun creating new presets every day, it’s an easy synth to program, though some limitations, for example currently impossible to get the mod wheel to control the amount of LFO modulation. I’ve submitted that to Arturia support as a feature request.

    • @NicolasMelis
      @NicolasMelis  2 года назад +3

      Thanks Rik! Yes that would be a great addition

    • @zoned7609
      @zoned7609 Год назад +1

      I think it was always able to? It's one of the manual modulation destinations. You should see LFO AM as an option for the mod strips. You have to enter the manual destination tho from the list, I forget how to access it so check the manual.

      Yes you touched a couple in your excellent demo, like massive growl, 90 ravers and aevus aeternu to name a few@@NicolasMelis- In the plugin you can see who created the presets. There are loads of other excellent presets as well from other sound designers.

    nice sound quality, piano keys, not pricey, but most usable sounds were analog, or simple waveshaper, fm, software version was a crap, tweaking it was a pain, less possibilities, at the sound color, still can't competing with those wavetable synth in complex bass sound,
    it worth, to be a good preset loader, but should know what type of sound it can provide and what you need before you buy.

    • @NicolasMelis

    • @carlosp.1846

      for complex wavetable dark and dreamy sound which one would you recommend? I’m hesitating with the Argon8

    The Arturia Minifreak has a broad span of different sounds. I can hear it's contribution in many genres. Does it have sequential sound installed?

    Great clip. How would you rate the build quality of the device and the quality of the keys, on a scale of 0 to 10?

    • @NicolasMelis
      @NicolasMelis  Год назад +1

      The build quality of the mini keys is like the mini keys of the keystep 37! For mini keys i rate them 8 of 10 , as playable keys a rate them 6 of 10 cause i dont like mini keys :)
