Definitely. I was so grateful to find this body of water, we had to pull up and take advantage 😎

Thanks. I had to dig a little bit because the Stellar is not setup, like mine is, so everything is on this one

@@arqhiz I guess it would depend on what you are using it for, but 8GB should be ok for most situations. You may run into performance issues with the heavier stuff, but most companies have done a great job of keeping the DSP relatively low. That said, my old 2007 iMac still runs Logic 8 and most plugins without issue, and that is barely 4GB. I only sprung for the 24GB because I am using it as my primary for music production, and don't want to run into any issues, in the future. I could probably run everything that I have on 16GB, and 8GB would likely be acceptable for about 70% of everything I am currently working on. It will certainly perform better than a PC

@@VIRALBEATS360 thank you so much for your answer. It is a massive help for me. Have a great day

@@arqhiz My pleasure, you as well. Good luck

Definitely! The more I dig into the MiniFreak, the more I am discovering about its sound. Great synth!

@@AKIRA_GOLD She is pretty...especially in the black. The more I dig into the features, the better sound I am getting out of it. Looks and personality

@@Nenko_Music Nice, I appreciate that. It seems like I have only scratched the surface with the MiniFreak, until now. Digging into it a bit deeper really opened up the possibilities. There is so much to do, once you begin to combine these features, it really stands out. I really enjoyed this session

@@Nenko_Music Yeah, the black is really nice. As dirty as the keys may get, you cannot see it in a lot of lighting situations, so it's a none issue. I'm going to have to decorate mine when I get home, haha. Painting the keys seems totally reasonable 😆

@@JDSoundsets Definitely. It seems like every other time I play the MiniFreak, I am demoing through presets or briefly playing outside. This session felt a bit more intimate, where I got to do a bit more exploration. I am really loving this synth

@@Kevhuman Haha, nice! Some really great patches in this one

@@tupapa7230 I think that is one of the things that makes this so difficult. She was so actively involved, her absence is immediately noticed, and will be felt for a while 🙏

@@SynthAddict Thanks. I was on the phone with a mutual friend of ours, when I noticed you were up, for a while. She will be missed, that is for sure. There is a lot of love out here for Inky ❤️🙏

@@daviHuggMonster Thank you, I appreciate it 🙏

@@JohnAReese It appears they have not. While there is an improvement since the last update, there are still polyphony issues that get in the way. However, I have yet to experience the "new" EX hardware in action to verify the differences. Knowing Roland, I seriously doubt there is any difference, other than that EX logo and the EX update being installed upon purchase. This whole move is so they don't have to address issues with the Fantom in any meaningful way, buying themselves some time until their next one. With how they have handled this, there is no telling what disappointment awaits, if you invest in their flagship. I really hate to complain, but I also don't like to see other people experience what I have gone through, with this keyboard. Judging by their latest press release, it appears that Roland's focus is elsewhere. Their WC-1 dongle isn't even compatible with the Fantom, after all these years, but it works with the newer Jupiter and Juno models. If Roland Cloud has been their focus and AI is their future, it is doubtful they will resolve these issues with their hardware any time soon.

@@VIRALBEATS360thank you so much for being honest. I’m a Roland guy and have all the software but I think the Nord stage 4 88 key is the move for me

@@synthsamuraiproductions The power station is a 600W Blueetti I picked up from Lowe's, which provides at least 2 solid hours.

@@daviHuggMonster They are really protective of the symphony orchestra.

I don't know, but something tells me that I am going to enjoy developing custom patches for the MiniFreak

@@seriocoster Yeah, it is pretty sad...especially now that they have essentially taken all of their unsold Fantoms, updated them to the EX Upgrade, then reintroduced it to the market as something new...still with these same issues. I mentioned during our last livestream how the n/zyme makes up for half of the EX, and that was introduced more than 2 years ago. Roland's WC-1 adapter isn't even compatible with their flagship. That, to me, is completely insane...just like their outright refusal to add the most requested feature from the previous Fantom's...time stretching. The sounds may have improved, but there is nothing new in the EX, and still the same issues with the hardware. The Fantom has been Roland's biggest blunder, and their reputation is forever tarnished, as a result. Roland didn't even mention their flagship on the 50th Anniversary...what does that tell you?

@@VIRALBEATS360 I think they realize it now. I think.they went to really play this thing and discovered themselves what we are saying here. You know what they did way more better than the NEW FANTOM ?? The Roland GO KEYS 5 and GO KEYS 3 ...... The sounds have 💯 % more life than the sounds on the Fantom. I bought 2 Go Keys... Not 1 No I bought 2 I wish they had put the Go Keys sounds and feeling in the Fantom. The strings The Brass Etc. Even the Guitars sounds better on the Go Keys. In the end is about the sounds ( characteristics, inspiration , feeling, brightness, intelligence, Velocity, aftertouch, Intelligent polyphony) All missing on some crucial.sounds on the fantom. If they had put the sounds of the old Roland fantom G in the Fantom O or the FANTOM I would buy it three times

Thanks for taking a walk through it 💯🙏

Thank you, that means a lot. Fruits of the Fantom ;-)

woohoo... journey well, my friend

@@daviHuggMonster Always

@@JDSoundsets Thanks. They reached out so I figured it was the least that I could do. I like it

@@daviHuggMonster I kind of wanted to walk around a bit more, but needed to plan a little better, for something like that

Yeah, it is...seems like I've been putting it on everything, lately; beats, vocals, synth...

@@VIRALBEATS360 Its a multi fx so it can be used a lot

@@JDSoundsets Haha, thanks...and a good morning to you, Sir!

@@daviHuggMonster Cool. Although there are limiters, it still hits in certain places. Better safe than sorry 🫨

Shabba indeed 🙌

@@daviHuggMonster Thanks, man. Lil Tussinn is quite the character, that is for sure. That’s the beauty about going to these places…they are all familiar places we could stretch out for a bit of family time.

@@stu9000 I agree. UVI does great modeling, but it is all the extra detail that really stands out. It makes all the difference.

@@JDSoundsets It definitely is that, haha

@@daviHuggMonster It sure does. I was curious about dialing in the drums, but that answers that. Hardcore! 🤟😎

Definitely. I really like the range of this phaser

I agree
