How to play a Minimoog on a MicroFreak!

I was expecting a video on how to recreate the Minimoog sounds using the Virtual Analog oscillator type.

Please can you share the samples please !

I wonder why they haven't added the sample engines to the minifreak yet

That is insane. I’m a super curious about the converters in that now. 🤔 There’s some serious mojo going on.

Dude, you can't tease us like this and not offer a sample download!
Please do - I'd pay a fiver easy.🌈🌈

I bought a second Microfreak to have bi-timbrality in a small space, and play that crazy keyboard with both hands.

I’m so happy microfreak added samples. My microfreak was collecting dust and was considering selling it, till the update. It’s the only synthesizer I have though since I’m never going to have a budget to buy a Moog but now I truly love it. I always loved moog synthesizers, but can’t afford it. I’m trying to get a car though lol

Mine is on the way!

Glad i just got one (:

Was worried about its functionality as far as simple bass tones, but paired w some pedals and sweet samples, it seems its money well spent regardless.

You should be able to import a sample from each note in an octave (or several octaves!) and use the key/arp function to map each sample to a single key if they’re ordered correctly when you import them to the microfreak

Can you play the samples in mono/legato mode?

I was gonna say…Maybe the contacts Don’t need to be cleaned!😊. You might scrub away some of the cool Flavor.

I decided to buy a Microfreak Because of Version 5.0.

Are you offering the Minimoog samples you’ve created for sale?
I hope so and I’d be a buyer for sure. They sound great on the Freak!
For someone trying to get some MOOG sound for leads, bass, etc, the Microfreak with Mini samples, man! I was thinking about a Poly D to get that sound.
I’m just beginning your MiniFreak series.
Q: would it be crazy to buy a Microfreak, given the release of the MiniFreak ?
I’ve got the MiniFreak VST Demo installed. Your Microfreak sounds better, but…we’re listening to a MOOG after all.
Anyway, good work, Marc.

One annoying problem with analogue synths is oscillator drift. You dont get that when you sample it instead. You get the sweet spot on every note every time. Producers been doing this since samplers began.

please let us download it

Great sound but I really don't see what the fuzz is about. You really need to start sampling... You'll get a fantastic sound on any sampler with analog filters. Try sampling the Minimoog on an Emax, Sequential Prophet 2000, Prophet X or even a Analog RYTM... etc, etc. Even a good sampler with digital filters like the Roland S750 or any Ensoniq sampler will sound awesome and in many cases will actually improve the original sound. This has been done for decades man, I guess in this case it's great, only if you take into account the low price of the Microfreak... otherwise it's nothing new. Great video, as usual. Thanks.

awesome!!!!! i would buy a minimoog sample pack to use for mine!!!

Does it support multi-sampling? Thanks

i thought of a random question and then i thought you can answer it better than anyone.... whats the different between a regular low pass filter and a low pass gate on buchlas ????

Well done, Marc! I'm properly inspired.

Will you be making your Minimoog sample pack available for download?

Thank You Marc Doty! 👍

Great video - fascinating how you turn some small moog samples into a an outright moog synth patch. Thanks for this - now I can't wait til V5 is actually released. This is one of the longest buildups for a firmware patch I can remember in years. You wouldn't mind sharing a few of your samples here? I will never get my hands on a real moog - but a few small samples and I would be happy. Thanks and keep putting out videos like this. I wonder what other synths you could turn your microfreak into?

Is this update only for Microfreak or also for Minifreak?

Sounds great! What's the bell chime in the background? Old clock? Very curious :)

How to get the update 5.0 before releasing?

amazing!!!!!

You made some beautiful sounds here. I love it.
"Gloopy" is a hell of a word, lol

OMG, it is a FreakMoog!! Love it.

i have to say it... did you check the cable?

(NAMM 2014 ref)

OK, samples works, but what about filter? Minimoog has classic ladder 4pole and MF has 2pole (steiner-parker, afaik)..

Not gonna lie, sounds way better than I expected. This update definitely elevates the microfreak. The filters and algorithm are really smooth, and in this price range, that's impressive. For those of you that have an mc101, that also has a wonderful stereo sample playing engine and can do this really well while adding effects and drums and polyphony if you decide to go the groovebox route for just a little more money than the microfreak. Bonus points for being able to glide/portamento convincingly on both these machines.

Did they retract the update or did you get an early release?
Any sites out there offering it up?

Sorry dude, listening to you is like listening to all those geezers that have had their lives revitalized because of an internet orderable chord-pack.

Great and very useful of you to get a better idea how good the sample engine works. 🙏Seems like there is a smooth timestretch algorithm at work. Otherwise your 3-OSC-sample wouldn´t probably work that well over this pitch range. The Microfreak now seems to be a perfect tool for 80s old school sampling-synthesis if you take its massive mod-matrix and analogue filter in account. Its like an vintage Akai-S612 sampler expanded with modular features to me.

Ive been trolled.

Hell yeah, do the granular engine next ;)

“WHERE’S THE MINI MOOG !?!?!?!”

you know what else can play samples? lot of things... 🥴

Regret selling my Microfreak now. SK-1 style sampling is so cool and useful.

I’m not certain if we are being trolled with a raspberry sample. 😂😂😂

I have had an MPC for awhile and also recently purchased some analog synths, so I've been thinking the MicroFreak needs to go bye-bye. And here you and Arturia go again giving me reasons to hang on! I always liked the Arturia controls and form factor.

That really brings the microfreak to life!

Was pretty convinced I was going to sell my microfreak to pre order a Behringer Pro 800 but now I’m not sure

Put a ring on it! 😊

Now its easy to reach organic sound with using samples which is cool. Cant wait to dust off my sample packs lol

Dont you already own a MicroMoog? 😂

...volatile or non-volatile¿
thanx again dude

Is it possible to get the samples? Sounds fucking awesome!🤘🏽

That's totally cool¡! Marc but how much sample time do ya actually get & how do u get'em in there
& how many¿just wonderin' once again & one more time, udahman Udahbest Doty urguru thanx again dude.
