    Let's just take moment to appreciate the designers of this little marvel. imagine the design brief: make it look like a toy, yet be capable of doing everything that every synth in the history of synths has ever done. Nailed it! STONE. COLD. CLASSiC.

    • @Thoracius

      Yeah. Though I wouldn't say it can do everything, it is impressive. And I like a lot of the weird digital sounds it is capable of as well.

    Thank you for your effective and thorough demonstration. As a complete beginner, I can say that your video is well worth more than hours of pouring through manuals (and other Microfreak demo videos).

    Great content, I was just talking about how it's so fun to make sounds on the microfreak but hard to dial in specific sounds sometimes because of the mysterious parameters. This was very informative and I especially liked being able to see the waves as you changed them. Thanks for the tips!

    Thanks. I needed this. Many of the Microfreak's osc's are incomprehensible. 😉

    This is SUPER helpful, technically this is in the manually but explained so incredibly briefly and badly it might as well not be there, especially the virtual analogue oscillator. Thanks!

    I really like this breakdown. You should do another video for the other oscillators.

    • @Thoracius
      @Thoracius  3 роки тому +1

      Sure thing. Those might necessitate a one-at-a-time deeper dive, since people will be generally way less familiar with the principles behind them. Is there any you'd like me to tackle first?

    I've hadn't noticed how silly some of the naming of the parameters are. Wave is actually shape and shape is actually wave... Great explanations! Very helpful. Been playing around with my MF for about a week now and having tons of fun so far

    what oscilloscope did you use and how did you connect it to the minifreak?

    • @Thoracius
      @Thoracius  Рік тому +1

      I use the one included with the Free Bundle from Melda Plugins. You can use it with any VST host (I use Cakewalk). I plug the audio output from my MiniFreak into the input on my Scarlett audio interface.

    Bad on arturia for the flip flopping parameter naming and the use of those silly beakers instead of a simple oscilloscope view...

      Great synth. The oscillator section is sometimes a little counter-intuitive but once you get the hang of it it makes sense.

    What is the wave visualiser you are using? Could be helpful for a synth n00b like me to see a good representation.

    Ive heard/read that one can run 35 modulations at once via the matrix....so, has any mad-ass-synthesist tried this?!?! :D :P

    • @Thoracius
      @Thoracius  3 роки тому +1

      5 sources * 7 destinations = 35 modulations. No reason you couldn't do it, but of course oftentimes in sound design less is more. Some of the modulations wouldn't make much sense or be very musical.
