I love this mans voice. Not too loud and not too soft. It’s the ultimate synth tutorial voice
😂😂😂
Expecially relaxing in da bubble bath while he tears up Mozart
lmao, tru tru
He also has my favorite tattoo of any of the “talking arms” shots i’ve seen on synth videos.
The synth sounds he makes are also very pleasing, hate when im watching a synth tutorial and they wont stop making shitty dubstep growls

wow. I just clicked on this because I'm interested in the microfreak and Im suuuuupernew to making music, haven't even bought my first synth yet. And hearing you explaining what one is able to do with the sound, how to use it, even though I probably understood less than half almost made me cry a couple of times because it's so amazingly beautiful. I'm in awe of how we are able to create with sound in this way. Thank you so much for this video!
You definitely do not need to have understood everything presented here to be able to start making electronic music, if that helps to hear
WOW! Rn I'm just in the EXACT SAME spot as you described here, 2 years ago! Started pretty recently on music, but I noticed that I'm SUPER interested on what you can do with SOUNDS in general nowadays, and synths kinda comes close from what I wish I could do. I've been searching a little bit, and Microfreak seems a pretty good option for a dumb beginner as me, but with SO MUCH potential to unfold over time, and in a pretty decent price ;)
I would like to know about your experience (if you started in this world of synths and production), because, as anything else in this world, it seems like there's A LOT to learn and to experiment, just that I'm actually kinda intrigued in this little world of big sounds :D
Tone Jay did a great job with this tutorial. Look forward to seeing him doing synth videos again.
First it's Justin Delay and now Tone Jay whats next? Tom Soundgoodizer?
Orfeas Panagos almost spat my coffee
Frank Linus, a.k.a. F.L. Soundgoodizer.
Wait: is Tom Soundgoodizer available?!?!?!?! We'd love to have him in. 😉
@@Reverb No offense, but Tom Soundgoodizer is a busy busy man, his cousin Pitch Sanchez might be available tho, I'll see what I can do.
Reeve Herb
TFW when Tone Jay casually drops the most devastatingly concise explanation of what 'Sustain' actually is and you spend the next 20 minutes sitting on your couch, staring into the middle distance, thinking about how you've been looking at ADSR all wrong for years.
..really? honest question.
@@dr.getter7118 Yup, I can relate
Lol! Love it
Thank you for the clear and well presented explanations. Learned a lot tonight.
excellent demo, it not only shows the capabilities of the microfreak but I learned so much about synthesis from it. Sometimes people throw around jargon but there's not much integrity to what it means or how it's made, this one explains everything so well.
Super clear explanations and not boring at all !
Fantastically done. I like his style of speaking and the information was great.
Great intro, demo and explanation of the sound sources!
Really great way of showing what the Microfreak can do! Great job!
Very good tutorial.Tons of info an examples.Well done.
These are some of the most fine sounding patches I ve heard on the freak!
Such a clear and defined explanation on synthesis. Thank you!
Just a fantastic demo! Thank you!
My man Tone Jay looks like a synthesized Forest Whitaker
Tone is amazing. So enjoyable to listen too. Learned a lot. Thank you 🙏🏽
6:53 That rug really ties the room together.
Thank you! Super informative video!
great great job! Thank you! Great overview of synthesis techniques!
I just got this synth, thanks for the tutorial/review.
Excellent video. Thanks!
fantastic tutorial. Thanks!
Thanks for this video!
Great video. Well done!
Thanks for making these videos
The last host has to be Reeve Herb.
Don't smoke too much the family name of your last host.
Nice demo, and explanation
Nice tutorial!
Nice video, thanks
Great synthesis overview... The physical modeling I think is one of those I am really looking forward to playing the most. I am supposed to receive my Microfreak today.
What ever became of your endeavors in the microfreak ?
Thank you!
This dude just incredible.
very good video, make more videos of synthesizers and their uses. greetings from Argentina!
Awesome explanation!
More microfreak please!
This guy is nerdy as fuck and I love him for it
Awesome video!!!!!!!
Thank you for this : )
Everything i've ever wanted. and i just happen to have a minifreak on me! Thanks!!
Thanks, really trying to figure out how to make music with devices like these and more,and this seemed like a good start, hard to pinpoint what’s going on in a lot of other videos for me.
Nice review of the Freak Tone! ;-)
what a great freaking video! where were you a few months ago!? Great stuff! :D
That’s just so awesome.
I’m no musician but I’m ordering one of these. It will be easy to add intros and stuff to my video editing.
Yes, that's a good idea. If you are not musician, you can make monotonal atmosphere, or you may try to play two or three notes in a very slow melody. If you have arty feelings, you may be able to buy nice cinematic background.
Nice!
Very cool
We’ll done!
Buying one off reverb!
Sample and Granular is now in the Microfreak
Damn, tight work here... this was some really nice info!
The third , being the position in which the exciter excites the resonant body....I have a vivid imagination.
Great work. I'll be back.
I want to buy a korg digital but I can't decide. I do like the bladerunner sounds but I also like ambient strings, horns or piano and reverb. Which one would be a good to start with?
🔥🔥
on the vector synthesis example what is the use for the microfreak? the four waveforms are coming from the dixie.
Also, on the sampling example, the microfreak is only working as a midi controller?
mynmyself it was just sequencing the modular voice with its cv outs.
Very nice ☝️ One💫💫💫✨✨👍
Good video, the microfreak is cool but I wouldn't have done a video on types of synthesis to show its features and use some modules to fill in the gaps, I know this is to showcase the microfreaks features there's a lot more to different types of synthesis than what is shown here, I'd rather watch a video series where you guys show different types of synthesis using iconic synths that you sell on reverb where you take time to explain what is really happening instead of this video just basically trying to sell the microfreak to viewers.
True dat!!
I was thinking the same thing. The title says types of synthesis with the MicroFreak. “But the MicroFreak doesn’t have this type of synthesis engine do we’ll use this other instrument.”
this guy has probably forgotten more about synths than ill ever learn. great vid though i love my microfreak. i get more enjoyment out of it than anything else.
Where's Justin Delay? I like that guy. No offense to you of course this was an awesome video.
1:41 John Carpenter ! 1:44 John Carpenter...2:00 average Italian Giallo
Hello... can i work with the microfreak as a midi controller? I mean to work on a virtual synth i the ipad and control it with the microfteak...?
Tnx.
yes
whats that string sample at 6:06 ? sounds super familiar
i feel like i've heard it before too yeah!
Hey! It's Little Child Runnin' Wild by Curtis Mayfield on the Superfly Soundtrack
3:17 Talks about the LFO, shows us a close-up of the analog filter controls.
Wave synth not explained very well.....elaborate pls.
@2:41 Oxenfree? 🤔
I wanna hear more Mozart grains.
yo where's my boy William Kirk?
Since when were the early DX’s/DX-7 preset synths? Even the PSS570 has a modifiable synth section!
Great video otherwise.
Back in the day we knew that to sound interesting and not like everyone else with the same synth, we’d have to spend months learning and years honing our sound with a give you synth or synthesis type. Lots of producers used presets because, well, they weren’t synthesists(!) but the DX7 is still a deeply interesting synthesiser today, but you do need a lot of time (largely not an issue back then because most people owned 2 synths tops, and no computer), or a very good visual editor
I’m surprised at all of the reviews of the $299.00 MicroFreak, that plug into the Mono output with $299.00+++!of software and stomp boxes. I like the MicroFreak, but I think my ~20 year old microKorg has been doing more for a lot less for a long time. It’s worth another look.
Would you suggest a first synth to a noob? I have pocket operators, so I am familiar with formants and wavetables, so I think I'm ready for a Neutron, Model D, Crave, or Liven 8bitwarps maybe? So many options lol... Also the new Moog Collection comes with a little bit of everything and a dice game to teach you the patches
Super Lke12◇ New Orleans Louisiana of music and Peace of StephopalOpal..Thank you for sharing!! Much Respect!! Puttin in favs!! Have a creative Electric smooth day!! Wonderful upload..beautiful!!
Fking dead at these comments
OMG!! Frkn Love yall!! NOLA◇ StephopalOpal ◇ music and Peace
What I've learned is that you can't get a job at Reverb if your name isn't an audio pun.
His name is "tone" lulz
If Mozart was alive today...
Seems like a great "toy" to play with :P
My name is Jeff Sharp. The ‘F’ is silent.
Gregg Bruce which F?
@@coltranius There is only one "f" in "sharp"
Every time I see his right arm ...the tattoo freaks me out...
Sounds too tiny
WARNING: this keyboard malfunctions. Getting a hold of Arturia support
is very difficult and they have left me hanging for weeks after sending
it in to be fixed. I really wish I had bought something that worked
instead of this thing. It really seems like a cool keyboard, but don't
be fooled by the video and marketing...it is a barely functioning toy
that will not hold up in any kind of professional environment.
I've had mine for a month. Seems to be holding up pretty well, but I also try to not abuse my gear. When you buy a piece of gear for less than a lot of eurorack modules, you kind of have to temper your expectations. Calling it a toy just because you're frustrated is a bit overkill.
8thlvlMage they got back to me and said that the main board was bad (brand new product) so they are making me wait longer while they wait for a shipment from France. Definitely not a customer first company.
OMG. The MicroFreak is nothing more than a (digital) wavetable synth with some common modulation options. Yes, it uses subtractive methods, but so do all wavetable synths, and the source oscillators are all digital. Are some "analog modeled"? Ok. Yes. Great.
As for FM?! Wow! FM as a CONCEPT is little more than an LFO. The magic of FM comes from complex multi- operator synths with complex algorithms. To say that there's real FM in the MicroFreak is like saying that there's real analog in a JP-8000.
Vector synthesis? Come on! Morphing wavetables using 2 dimensional control isn't vector synthesis. The Wavestation, for example, literally transformed digital waveforms in real time NOT using tables. PCM sample manipulation? Ok. Not wavetable.
Physical modeling? Please! Start with Karplus- Strong (which isn't here) and you begin to see PM.
Sample based? Ok. Sure. But, in reality, at a wave level, wavetable IS sample based synthesis... Therefore, for a short duration, most wavetable synths technically ARE granular...but nobody calls the Blofeld a "granular" synth? Lol!
Lastly, I won't even comment on WC other than to say that wavefolding ≠ WC synthesis any more than LP filters = "subtractive".
Nice way to sell MicroFreaks, but hardly an honest depiction of synthesis architectures.
No reason to be mean, everyone is doing the best they can. I personally loved the video and the host! Keep it coming!
@@spierce25 Sorry if I was mean. I just want people to be educated and not misinformed. That's all.
Omg, did you really just go on a synth rant that seems to miss the point of the entire video? The presenter is not claiming that the MicroFreak uses all 10 types of synthesis. He's using it, combined with a few modules and snynths to demonstrate some basic synthesis concepts and give a small taste of the kinds of sounds they produce.
@@marike1100 You mean YOUR INTERPRETATION of the intent of the video?
Yep. I did.
@@mc2engineeringprof Have you ever used it?
This isn't really an educational and technically accurate explanation of different types of synthesis; it just pretends to be until you pull off the Scooby Doo mask and you realize it's just an infomercial for one specific keyboard. Lame.
