MicroFreak Sound Design Tutorial - Creating 3 Different Pad Sounds With Microfreak & a Reverb

[@MattTerry1]

Wow, that's strings one sounds gorgeous, would love some more tutorials like this

[@minisynthmaniac]

I didn't know my Microfreak could sound that good.... Excellent tutorial!

[@s1gns0fl1fe]

That feeling when Dash starts playing your jam. Lovely sounds brother!

[@DashGlitch]

Thanks a lot!

[@Jimmyknapp2]

Thanks for the tip to hold max pressure to tune max values, simple but good

[@MK-xq7lu]

Thank you for sharing!
Very inspiring.

[@NeoLudditevisons]

Brilliant I adore this type of informative/contextual tutorial, thank you so much.

[@armandosalazar2016]

Great patch ideas!! Thank you for doing this; And, for sure please share more videos about the microfreak! 🙏🏼🎉

[@kenb7540]

Great tutorial. That Karplus patch sounded amazing 👍👏👏🎶

[@BlackMarvin]

Nice one Dash!

[@carlostagnoli2704]

Great sound and interesting tips on the patch bay! Thanx from Italy 👍🏻

[@DJJeri]

Great tutorial! I love your style. Thanks a lot for your insights.

[@CTXMMLP]

Very cool! didnt know that we could module the amount of modulation ! will try it -Thanks!

[@JamesMcGrathPDX]

Great tutorial ❤ Thank you.

[@firedrone111]

man this ones really useful dash! thanks, I just picked up one of these guys

[@chebtamer]

I needed this video.. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@andrewpolzin8489]

That last pad was very rad.

[@alonsoundesign]

thx a lot bro tomorrow i get it, more sound design tutorials with microfreak please Dash

[@hypnoticatrance]

Cool pads's! Microfreak was my 2. synth I bought, if I was start to have some hardware synths also. This little beast is a great synth, especial if you use a extern controller keyboard.

[@CYOMIY]

Bravo

[@EarlyMist]

Sounds really Mazing. Now I need to explore my Pod Go reverb capabilities. I've not scratched the surface yet. The Freak sounds great through your Boss and its a similar philosophy so fingers crossed.

[@DOZEsynth]

Awesome stuff thanks Dash, Can we get more videos on Microfreak senpai.

[@jeffoff7795]

Nice

[@neonblack211]

I didnt know you did hardware stuff too, awesome

[@ugielka]

i love me some karplus stings 😋

[@thewistfulsnail]

Wow

[@falangistavaleroso9689]

I own a fs1r and this can make same kind of weird pads over own samples, i will get 1

[@mylogify]

Wow we don’t even see the dark side of the modular rack… (the bottom part) :D. Why aren’t they in the camera angle in livestreams, and not use them all together?

[@DashGlitch]

Because it's not part of the main performance system :)

[@themachinestops23]

Great tutorial... for me the microfreak is a load of fun to use, but somehow I always struggle to get it to sit properly in the mix. It almost sounds too digital or plastic or something. I'm not anti digital at all though, I have other digital synths. Been seriously considering selling it and getting a Neutron instead. Going to persevere a bit more on the back of this tutorial.... would love to see more tutorials on this as I really, really want to like this synth!

[@DashGlitch]

I usually end up EQing out a bit of the 2-4khz range (ofc context dependant) but I feel that really warms it up a bit and helps it not clash too much. Maybe I should do some contextual mixing tutorials about how I work specific synths into the mix, thanks for the idea!

[@themachinestops23]

@@DashGlitch Awesome, I'll try some EQing when I finally get round to bouncing some tunes into Bitwig! Been mostly going DAWless lately... next step is to combine the two!

[@seoverus7805]

@@DashGlitch Please do this video - The mix ratio is Make or Break for me on this Synth.

[@Stadsjaap]

Tutorial Level 92.
Advert for RV-500 Level 3000. 😂☝️

[@Tapepusher]

Can I send it custom MIDI playing any chords I want or is that impossible due to it being "paraphonic"?

[@DashGlitch]

Yes, in paraphonic mode the MIDI input will receive chords AFAIK
