I bought the Microfreak as a poly aftertouch controller and for its fun Arp/Sequencer. Over time Arturia just kept adding more and more features to this really rather boggling little synth.

Apologies to Jon H
Exploring the touch response of the MicroFreak. Tip of the hat to the boggling Jon Hassell.
All part of the 1 pass, no edits and 3 mins to make the sound series
Thought id try to learn Ableton, but it became more about the #MicroFreak
So, Sitting around Self Isolating …
Thought id teach myself Ableton LIVE
Yep is Music for old people, buy hey IM OLD so …
Made this track using its 909 kit and an Arturia MicroFreak.
Excuse the less than inspired drum part, got lost in the Synth:+)
To make things interesting, made some rules:
All sounds from Default on the micro freak had to be made in less than 3 mins and the parts had to be played in with no edits.
45 mins later;…
By request. the no crappy beats version, you can REALLY hear the bad playing now!:+)

Something caught in my throat.
Just messing with the MicroFreaks Voice Oscillator.
Suss’ing the FREAK
Been playing with the @ArturiaOfficial #MicroFreak. Its FUN. Its Bonkers Fun.
Sadly it also has a somewhat unappealing digital ‘noise’ (a friend referred to it as “DigitalHash’) so more delicate sounds are not really viable, but cranked up its pretty bloody usable.
Its quite an interesting cross between ya bog standard 1 Osc subtractive, and something more modular with some west coast elements. Consequently as a sad old synth geek, it’s quite interesting. The conductive pads that respond polyphonically are really what made me get this as it seems like an interesting controller for future projects regardless of its own synth engine. Anyway, its a hilarious machine for creating riffy ‘acid’ type synth loops. So I’ve been reliving my 90’s dance producer life, and wishing i’d had one of these back then.
