- Exploring Microfreak 5.0 (A Few Answered Questions)
Today I wanted to answer a few questions I've gotten about the Microfreak 5.0 firmware update, which will be available May 30th. Unfortunately, I didn't record my microphone channel, so all of the spoken audio in this video is from my camera's built in microphone, less than ideal. Sorry about that, it'll be back to normal in the next video!

Cool! Thanks for the demo, I’m looking forward to update my Microfreak as well !
I hope you love it!
Can’t wait to add some randomization to the filter on each individual key press. I love modulating the filter per step. I love doing it to my hardware synths with my SQ 64
I think for me, the first thing I’ll do is hook the chase bliss Mood to it to slice the grains thru that then resample into the mk2. This is exactly what I needed! I have a few granular synths on the iPad but this will be more fun! Lol great video, it was useful to me, the only difference is I’ll do what you did with a granular oscillator instead of a sample. Ty, Peace
Thanks as always!
Hah this transforms the Microfreak into MegaFreak
Definitely!
It looks like a few of your keys are rubbing bare, does this affect usage at all?
The contacts on the keys are a metal mesh so its fine
Just cosmetic :)
The spoken audio sound fine to me. 👍
Thanks haha, it wasn't awful but definitely not up to my normal quality. (which still isn't amazing hahaha)
Just when I think I finally know how to use everything on my MicroFreak they add a whole load more! 😀
Hahaha yeah they're keeping us on our toes!
Since the LFO is bipolar, setting the parameter you’re modulating to the midpoint (like, select the middle sample in the list), it will work better. If you’re on sample 1, it will stay on sample 1 during half the LFO cycle.
On a different topic, are you going to get the new Roland Aira Compact S-1?
This ^
Choose the sample in the middle of the list as the starting point to modulate from, then turn down the LFO mod depth to something lower, like 10 for example (and experiment) - that should move through the different samples really nicely👌🏼
Can't wait to get my hands on the new firmware!
Yeah I always forget hahaha, thanks for the reminder!
@@FreeBeat So much gear, so little time! 😆
I was think for sample selection modulation you could use it for drum kits.
I would love it to see it pared with monotron delay
You got it, video coming soon!
nice
Thanks!
I've noticed your keys are a little worn - do they still function normally? Unsure if the pattern is cosmetic or part of the capacitive functionality.
It's just cosmetic :)
@@FreeBeat Awesome. Phew, that’s a relief. Wondered if that would happen to mind and affect playability 😁
I'm guessing you can't, but can you modulate the sample selection with the sequencer mod tracks?
yes, the sample selection can mod to any place any other knob can be modded to
You can!
Arturia are a great company, the updates they keep releasing are superb.
Yeah the updates on the Microfreak have been insane!
👍🏾
Thanks!
Don't have a Microfreak though just succumbed to GAS and picked up a Circuit Rhythm my first beatbox/sampler (other than a couple of PO's). So have watched lots of videos about it though finding they don't cover every function and as such I'm trying to learn by use lol. know you had a Circuit Tracks and the workflow was not for you, hopeful the Rhythm will work for me.
Nice! I hope you like it :)
Wow around 8:00 sounds like aliens talking.
Haha it does!
The envelope is polyphonic! (The cycling envelope and LFO are not).
Yeah! I always forget that haha
😎 13:00
Thanks for watching!
It's good to hear that the LFO is bipolar. Just like my high school girlfriend.
Thanks for watching!
