Arturia MicroFreak

The mutable instruments collab sounds really cool

Me! Itā€™s amazingly cringe worthy yet Iā€™m still very keen to hear more about the synth. Win-win for me :slight_smile:

Hopefully it doesnā€™t have that typical Arturia ā€œbrute factorx10000ā€ sound, I find that I donā€™t like the sound of anything analog that Arturia have made so far, it always sounds like bad VA/harsh/digital to me, but I really do like some of the features they add, their build quality also always looks nice, and I think their pricing is very reasonable. This new one certainly looks the part it would be quite ironic to me if I like the sound of it given how I feel about their analog stuff, Iā€™m definitely not an analog purist, but I do like analog to not sound as precise as their stuff sounds to me.

I look forward to hearing more from this, even though I probably wonā€™t get one, the specs and features look very interesting so Iā€™d never rule it out based on my feelings about previous Arturia stuff.

OK a lot of people do slow down to look at a car wreck. (And granted the video is a car wreck,)

Fair play, some of them samples sound pretty good.

Any onboard fx on this?

Firmly on radar either way.

Waiting for the MiniFreak or the MatrixFreak!

But in all seriousness Iā€™m waiting for more demos! Seems nice! Especially as a mean to control CV stuff.

Yeah Iā€™d been considering picking up the little TE pocket modular keyboard. Possibly not nowā€¦Tho the individually tuneable Keys on the TE is still a big +.

But if you canā€™t the damage is only $350 / 300ā‚¬.

Can you typically transpose sequences via keyboard on arturia keyboards? Never used oneā€¦

Iā€™m waiting for the nanofreak a module version sans keyboard with the sequencer :wink:

ha - I thought was above all this gas business - I really want to hear if the filter is as sweet as a SEM if thatā€™s where they were going with it - digital osc and sem filter in such a hands-on format is really attractive especially with its look and twists - really sweet on paper and competitively priced - super exciting - havenā€™t exhausted the specs, but only having some FX on board could have made this a bit more of a test of will - very desirable product nonetheless - yes the promo is truly awful, but so what

But no input sadly. Paired with a semi mod would be a sick duo.
