New Arturia synths?

[xoark]

hilarious to see old posts “predicting” this or having a very similar idea

Drum computer/synths without limits. No Samples!

Another piece of gear whose nonexistence continues to baffle me: Arturia Drumfreak

Arturia MicroFreak

from what I can tell there doesn’t seem to be a noise generator. bit of a bummer considering how suitable this thing probably is for synthesizing drum/percussion sounds. shame to see no overdrive stage either, would be lovely for juicing up those harmonics even more. edit: maybe a DrumFreak is in the pipeline???

The elusive perfect drum machine

yeah, well up for a DrumFreak if you’re reading Arturia!

What’s next for Ess / Fors?

Would love to see a collaboration between Fors and Arturia, maybe some synth models developed by Fors for the MiniFreak or even a DrumFreak .

Another really fun video from Oscillator Sink where he uses the new firmware to turn the MicroFreak into a granular drum machine… gets into really interesting territory by the end of the video after starting with a relatively humble drum pattern. If these updates do make their way into the MiniFreak then it’ll be a question of time before I do the mental gymnastics required to justify getting one of them as a replacement for my Keystep37… [MicroFreak V5 - The Granular DrumFreak!]
