MicroFreak V5 - The Granular DrumFreak!

This video was part of my decision to buy the MF. - I got the MF a week ago, since then I tried, I read the manual, I watched x YT vids & goodled x times : "How to assign different samples to different keys on the MF" : - n o t h i n g - please, can you point me to a video or the page in the manual? - or somebody?

How someone who counts „kick 1 2 3“ instead of „kick 2 3 4“ can program such brilliant stuff goes beyond my stuck-up head😮

So you can create drum beats with the micro freak synth, right? Billy Bee McConnell. Asking you the question.

They Def deserve more sales from their support. Unfortunately, i returned the Stellar version due to high noise. Bought the older one instead for half the price used hahaha

Hi- how did you get the sampler to load - and then use the grain sampler? I thought the two different “engines” couldn’t be used simultaneously? Basically the first few minutes of the video was very quick for me

thanks so much for this - was considering buying one of these as wanted to trigger samples live on stage and you're the only place I found the answer to the question of if you could assign different samples to different keys!

I have a key question. Once I have created my sequence of drum sounds, can I get to play on top of it with (for example) a sound from the preset?

When you started sequencing i immediately thought of "Robert Armani- Hit Hard" a great techno song of the 90's. Love what youve done to show us here. Thank you !

Thanks! I couldn't find any samples so I individually recorded my favourite drum kits from my DAW and exported them one by one as WAV file. It's a bit tedious but it works!

So jealous! I got a microfreak way before they did all this

Man could easily rock a dance floor with that riddim🔈🔈🔈
Pure heat right there🔥🔥🔥
Been looking at this synth for a while now, after having a play on one a few years back when it first landed.
Was super impressed with it back then. Am even more so now! So much so that they could have just released this synth to the market as is and it would still be impressive.
Go on wid ya bad self MicroSuperFreak 💪🏾

fun ! thx !!!

god damn it! stop whispering. thank you.

Calm down, Arturia. I’m still working out the last OS update!

damn it's hacky, but so much power. i know i would jam out with this

I love you so much

So not only the Bass Station II but now also the MIcrofreak has the AFX mode now :) great jam! I've already used the Microfreak (before v5) for noise percussion, but this is definitely the next level :)

Genius!

Ty for this, also what outputs to the pc from arturio is it ? Not too clever with that. Anyones help appreciated 🙌

tout ça pour ça...

imagine shift+master=preset volume....
still waiting for them to add this shortcut!
PLZ!

I can’t seem to find Sample as an option in the Key Arp part of the matrix… maybe I have to update again…

Seems like every 6 months the Microfreak becomes my favorite synth again.

Thanks a lot for this interesting demonstration. I tried to assign the sample function to the keys but it unfortunately didn’t work for me. Could you tell us, which keys you exactly did activate to get this across? When I am at Key/Arp point and have pressed Assign 1 I cannot select the matrix routing for sample function.

Great trick, I look forward to trying it.
On a side-note, I would like to comment on your use of the Spice function. I see you changing the Spice level each time you ask the machine to make a change to the sequence. Sorry if that was deliberate, but I am not sure that you are using it at its most. Indeed, the way I understand it, the Spice intensity (that you chose through the pitch bend stripe) defines the amplitude of the changes that are made to the sequence. But then, in order to apply changes of that same intensity, you need to press the Dice button.
In other words, the Spice parameter lets you define what intensity of change will be applied to a sequence, and each time you press the Dice button, you "roll the dice" to apply a series of such changes to the sequence. With a small value of Spice, each new sequence will differ from the previous one by small changes in the note placements, and with a large value of Spice, large changes of note timing will be applied to each new sequence.
Hopes that clarifies a point. My apologies if you knew that already. Keep up sharing great ideas !

That offbeat percussive synth/drum noise sounds like a cyber-chimpanzee 😂

🎵 BOOF-EEEH-DA-BOOF-DA-BOOF-DA-BOOF-DA!… 🎵 🦾🐵🍌

great video, fyi cant read a thing on your screen, resolution is horrid.

Awesome. Nice dive into the new capabilities of this great bit of kit!

It seems I do not need a Publison DHM89 after all.

Merci ! Thks ! Lot's of fun incoming

brilliant, really loved the hit grains section!

I feel the need for a second Microfreak coming on ! or maybe a third ? Great Demo ,thanks !

ATTENTION MIDI CENTER CRASHES ON UPDATE AND KILLED MY MICROFREAK! STOP USING THAT UPDATE. MY DEVICE IS BROKEN AND DEAD NOW!!!!

Still waiting for a polyfreak

awesome!! i cant wait!!! appreciate your videos on it!!!!

Absolutely incredible. It's not every day that you wake up and a synth you already own has turned into a drum machine overnight

this is very good.considering getting one now

By controlling the modulation amount of the sample/type I guess we can mute only some of the drums

INCROYABLE !
We, all of us, now, are knowing/understanding, why, as u r playing into this video, you are smilling at the same time !!
Arturia match it again ! again ! again !
with this second video you made, people are going to spend MILLIONS HOURS on MCFK ! I'm sure of that ! MILLIONS HOURS ! ....forgotting to give foods to their pets/animals, forgotting their meet with their boyfriend or girlfriend, or, going to their job and answering to the phone or their e-mails ... ...! A very dangerous firmware here !!!!
all is, also, about control possibilties here !!! isn't it ?!

Awesome !!: The first 3 mn ! It makes me think that if we try "to think"... a little bit, we can find some amazing wayS, to ... ... think (and play) with such this "MACHINE"...
Merci beaucoup for all your "insiding" tips/tricks ...

Amazing possibilities! How is your sample put together that you use?

This update and the new stellar skin are what sold me, honestly don’t know why it took me this long but I’m excited to get lost!

Continuously inspiring

Excellent video. Crank you mic up a little bit cause on headphones it can be painful trying to listen to u and the MF clonking away. 😅

Nice what you can do with that. Though i would rather use a Volca Drum or a LXR02 or a 1010 Blackbox for that.

Was coming to say LOVED YA PREVIOUS vid about the new firmware, but have ya sussed the Type Scan 'Hack' ( i get to play too) ????  and HERE YOU ARE!

I'm so excited for this update. 😮

Watching this makes me think Arturia need to release a Freakin Drumbrute!
