It is incredible how Arturia continues to support one of the best value for money synths in recent times. 10/10 ❤
Yeah, Elektron ought to go by the same way! I still wait ratchets for Analog Four )
It’s the ultimate perfect beginners synth but also deep enough for advanced users.
They dropped the ball on the Origin tho... 😢
If you think about it this is their bread and butter. A lot more people can afford gear priced like this. It’s in their interest to support it like this
@@KiR_3d I think they just preffer little DIGI family :))
Well done Arturia, I was a Microfreak early adopter and I couldn't believe this announcement. The previous firmware updates had already doubled the value of the device. I can't think of anything in my life that had so much value added after I paid for it. The sampling and granular modes could be a completely worthwhile separate instrument, but you have shown real class by giving it to existing customers. I salute your commitment to this platform, thank you sincerely❤🙏
When I read the news today I thought I had misread it because of the instant added value by adding the new features. I haven't had any other platform or synth add this much extra functionality after the fact.
And what about Digitakt, guys? It's pretty grown too :) I have both and honestly, I'm in love :)) Arturia and Elektron guys deserves some worshipping for this kind of care :))
This is amazing. I am absolutely astonished by this product and that Arturia continues to build onto this platform. I have never been happier. Thank you Arturia!!❤❤❤
I've literally been looking for an affordable chromatic sampler, and granular synth for years now. Its amazing to be told I already have one.
I don't often say this to a corporation but thank you very much! How thoughtful! I've been eyeing sample players so this actually solves problems for me.
Same here!!! The “Sample”-Update is just mind blowing ❤
I bought the Freak on release and every few months it's like I get a whole new synthesizer delivered to my door for free (or in one case, a free vocoder). Absolutely wild stuff.
Fantastic Presentation by Lena. One thing missed: New space for Preset is 512 !!
I'm amazed you didn't get called on to demonstrate this update!
@@d3tuned378 oh I dont have to go with the mainstream, do I? Maybe there will be a surprise...
Oh yes! I filled up my 384 init patches long ago. It will be nice to have some more.
Can't wait to see what you have in store for the MiniFreak!
Totally, sample and granular features are one of the few things the minifreak can't do, if they add that it's going to be a compact monster!
I literally bought one of these on Tuesday... I was already blown away that Arturia added Vocorder capability with a free update... now I see this?? There is no doubt I made the right choice in my synth purchase. I love it when companies have a long-term view of their products' life cycle. It creates a massive and fiercely loyal fan base...!
This is increddible! Arturia is the best, thank you a lot for supporting and developing “old” synths. Your engeneers and programmers are geniouses.
I truly do love you guys, Arturia. Please, always stay on the good side of companies. Your continued support of hardware that you have had out for a while as free upgrades is astounding. In today's day and age this is one of my biggest pros with you guys. That and that your software is awesome as well. I own a MicroFreak, V Collecion, and EFX Collection (I cant remember the versions, whatever was available when this was written) and have loved just about everything I have gotten from them. Keep up the great work guys.
Best value synthesizer on the planet. Can't believe how much love this has been given - NEVER change Arturia 😍xxx
Started with Microfreak, now I own Collection V and FX Collection. Arturia, you are awesome.
Same here, though I will raise you a Minifreak, the PolyBrute and Pigments 😂
Same here. Started with the MF, and now I have V Collection, FX, a keystep 37, and pigments/minifreak v. Love it, Arturia!
Arturia is really the gold standard in customer after-care!
If other manufacturer were just half as good in providing post-purchase improvements to their products, the world would take a giant leap forward!
Arturia certainly comes close as the clear second but only just after Image-Line. The number three I really don't see in this regard.
Imageline is not a manufacturer, go back to school kid.
@@rave6577 Useless comment, but i hope it made you feel better.
Love how you continue to support the MicroFreak, I just wish you would do the same for the KeyStep Pro.
What updates do you want to KeyStep Pro?
This is what I came to say! lol adding CC messages would be great, giving each drum sound its own dedicated swing, creating a default mapping in their vsts, adding bipolar swing
@@suttonp6439 I have not been using them as much lately so I need to remember my gripes, I actually have two KSPs in my setup. Some things that still come to mind.
1. No ability to receive program changes at all. I am kind of surprised that it doesn't have this. Even a limited one that changes all scenes on all 4 tracks would be better than nothing, but it really should be able to receive program changes on a per track basis to move scenes up or down at least. This is a big one for me because I am controlling my setup through an Akai force and there is no way to control the KSPs at all externally.
2. I still have issues with it not saving programs properly, often on booting back up I will find that scenes and patterns were lost even though I am positive I saved program before shutting down.
3. Would like the ability to have it return to the state it was at shutdown rather than it always booting up to program one then needing to remember where I was at shutdown.
4. Would like the ability to set more default settings, for example I would like to be able to set default for "follow" to be on, rather than needing to turn it on every time, for every track, for every scene, every time. super annoying because I prefer "follow" on and I need to turn it on non-stop.
5. as you stated, more CC control would be nice but the priors are more important to me as I have other means to control CCs but it would be nice.
6. Some added arpeggio functionality would be cool.
I am sure I could think of more, but my main point is it was sold as a flagship midi controller at the time and received fairly limited love from Arturia after launch. Happy to see them support the micro freak still and think it is awesome what they have done with it. I just wish they could show a bit more love to the KSP, it has been abandoned for a long time now.
This is huge. The granular sounds amazing. The sampler will get handy too. I think I'll be hunting for additional Microfreak. Will be fun having two of them.
So I'll comment on my own thread. Downloaded the firmware and spent about 2-3 days playing with the new 4 engines. Oh my lord, I'm really fascinated with all the possibilities. Now I see why granular is so important for ambient music. Whole new world to me as I'm mainly used to subtractive and fm so far (with small addition of samples). Dowloaded Audacity to create my own samples cutting my recordings, it's so much fun and easier than I thought. Huge thanks to Arturia for improving their products and user experience further. The Microfreak is the most used item of my modest instrument collection. I'm totally your fan and happy to support you buying your products in future.
Wow! I got the MicroFreak two months ago, and it was already such a rewarding purchase. Thank you for making it even more awesome!
Even after the other amazing updates this is just fantastic. If my Microfreak should break down, I will buy a new one the same day.
I'm so happy to see another update to this synth. Mostly because it shows that Arturia really cares about it and not just the latest synth they are selling like some other big name companies. I did go ahead and purchase the minifreak and have been enjoying it very much. I hope that it will also be supported and updated too because I think it's also an awesome synth. BUT now i must put the big brother aside for the next few days and concentrate on getting re aquainted with my FIRST Freak. This looks like it is just what I needed to get back to this quirky fellow!! :) thank YOU Arturia and Lena for demonstrating it.
wow! i got my self the freak 3 years ago and its keeps getting better its amazing!! thank you
Hands down the best synth I've ever had and I think one of highest synths on the list for anyone. Well done on such an awesome update! The 30th can not be here sooner!
Today is that day 🎉 We are waiting for the update.
best purchase ever. I didn't even expect new updates after minifreak's release. such a banger considering the fact that it has very unique keyboard with MPE-like modulation for each note separately.
Making my favourite synth even better once again. Thanks for bucking the trend. You folk are the best.
Can't wait for the 30th! The granular and to be able to play and modulate samples excites me. Thank you, Arturia for continuing to support the Freak!
Loved the editing between sounds during the intro/demo, super smooth!
Wow, i don't know what i am more excited right now. The update or seeing Lena.
I’m so excited to get home and update this little freak! Thank you for continuing to support legacy hardware.
This is ssso cool! For months I've been looking at granular hardware synths on the cheap. Now I get granular AND samples on microFreak?! Fantastic! Thank You Arturia 🤗
Looking forward to this coming to us mere mortals at the end of the month!
This is amazing, never had anything but delight for the firmware updates for microfreak
La synthèse granulaire dans mon Microfreak avec la V5, merci Arturia !
This is why I updated my Arturia software instead of my NI stuff. When you can't have it all you pick wisely
Exactly. My NI stuff is gathering dust and feels dead. Arturia ethos is alive in everything they do. There's lots of love emanating from this company.
@@Uuuuyyyyuuu I'm not sure on the hardware side of stuff that you have ' gathering dust "....., the NI 88 fully weighted keyboard and the machine plus do look absolutely great but loads of money and a lot of space needed for those beauty's combined. I have NI kontakt standard 13 software , it takes an age to load and snapshots setup is not plug and play imo. Other non NI libraries that use kontak nki format are useful enough as an army of sounds might you need them.....
The key action on other hardware synthesiser I have are just as nice and my Akai mpc X is more my thing than the Machine plus. I tend just to use the keylab essentials 49 keys & the beat step pro for speed on most stuff I do.
I have Roli kit for my MPE synths & Bitwig MPE software. I updated arturia software and they threw in the mini freak software for free , that saved space having the ITB version. Maybe when kontak 15 is out I might enquire as the new sample packs look OK but my money went to UVI Falcon and Arturia this time round. The correct decision was made. Its amazing Arturia updated the micro freak again . I shall use it on my next Trax after the update install.
At least you have enough kit to lay your hands on , thats the main thing.
Highly advanced electronic sounds is the best part of being alive in today's ultra harsh world.
If music be the food of life , play on ! : )
Wow, just wow. I didn't expect this. This is just great. Thank you!
That's one insane update! Much apreciated! ❤❤❤
I bought the Microfreak when it first came out and it was already a great innovative synth. With continued updates for the Microfreak! What a fantastic gift and it is for reasons like this that I'm a big supporter of Arturia. Thank you!❤
You had it for years? No issues?
@@thegreat1548 - purchased within the first year of release and have applied all s/w updates as they arrived (which is easy to do btw). The build quality is excellent. I've never had any issues with the machine or software.
Wow what a great update, one more time!!! So glad I got this synth, I can't wait to try the granular synthesis! :p
Love it ❤
Many thanks to the whole team for the fantastic work!
Great update, thank you very much for offering us new sonic choices!
Great work. It's a gift to existing users, and attracts new ones. Everybody wins!
Keeps getting better and better
This continues to be my favorite synth!
Micro freak is a modern classic I’ll always have one in my setup
Thsnk you, Arturia for making my Microfreak so cool!
Wow, amazing and samples ! I already loved the microfreak too much
some years ago I buy three of them and I know that was a good choice. thank you Arturia.
Amazing update! Incredible support!
THANK YOU FOR ADDING SAMPLE ENGINES ARTURIA!!!❤❤❤
I can't wait. Thank you so much!
Grandioso ! Gracias Arturia! Thanks! Love you Arturia! Love you Lena!
Incredible!!! Thank you!
Another amazing feature and functionality upgrade years after purchasing ! Arturia is the GOAT for this !
The microfreak was my first synth and still surprise me 😊
Can't wait!
Is the miniFreak getting these as well in a future update?
This is like waiting ( roughly ) two weeks for x-mas to come. We love you MF design team.
Awesome vid, I can't wait to update!!
Perfect. Now bring that to my Minifreak. Urgently. THAAAAAAAAAANKS ARTURIA!!!
Love it cant wait to dive in
Merci, c'est super, de faire évoluer cette petite pépite.
Arturia loves his customers for sure, thank you so much for this delighful surprise.😍
awesome new sounds. Thanks Arturia
Amazing. Great just got even better.
This is simple amazing, can wait to test this out in my new upcoming songs!!! Thanks Arturia for the support of this amazing little weird.
Hey! I bought a synthesizer few years ago and now your telling me to load samples into it?😂 Didn't expect that! 😁
what's really crazy is that the first "new preset" sounds exactly like my Syntrx II. I will not ever sell the Syntrx II, but these examples make me want to buy one right now.
This is really awesome! I can only hope that you have similar plans for the Minifreak as well! Thanks, love my Arturia products!!!
Nice, but I really hope my Minifreak starts receiving the same love my Microfreak gets.
came here to express gratitude and thanks for the continued development and value added features arturia continues to pack in!!! LOVE IT!!!
Thanks for the V5 🎉
this is great! i really really hope these new engines and such can come to minifreak sometime soon.
I love ❤ this Arturia upgrades!!!!! Best money can buy
Thank you @Arturia for improving this amazing synth!
Holy crap. This is an amazing update.
Over the past two years, Arturia has become my favorite company by far!
Amazing update thank you Arturia
Time are mature for buying a Microfreak! 🖤🎧💣
This firmware V5 update is crazy dope!!! Can't wait for its release. To stir things up a bit picture this update coming to the mini freak as well. 🤔🤫🤐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 AGang killing it mane!
Awesome! I hope the Minifreak sees these improvements as well and finally gets vocoder support!
Awesome!!!❤❤
It's really nice!
Arturia, please, make MiniFreak version with the extended "buchla style" keyboard like MicroFreak! IMHO it's the essential feature.
that's amazing!!!
I enjoy my Microfreak it’s just fun to play.
That's it? Thats a lot! I love my Microfreak! Thank you Arturia Peeps! I'm gonna go hug my Microfreak some more! 🙂
yoooooo granular synthesis??? this is awesome. thanks Arturia 🙏
Great new features...Ill take one!
Love U guys!!
BEST SYNTH I HAVE BOUGHT & COMPANY EVER!!! ❤❤❤
this is a clear exemple of act against overconsumption and preservation of materials that a company can do. if we want our kids to have synths we have to use our longer and this is a really cool way for people to continue to get inspired without using more and more plastic and metal . this is political and thank you for that!
Viva la Freak! ❤
This is incredible
You're the best! I love you so much!
GREAT ! love you guys ! make a maxifreak 😀
Thank you Arturia! ❤❤❤
Thank you Arturia❤
this is fantastic! thank you! we just moved and i cant wait to find the box with the microfreak in it!
Arturia, I love you!! 😍
Excelente Arturia!! Estará disponible la síntesis granular en el Minifreak en algún momento?
Wahoo !❤❤❤
This is an incredible firmware update. Will these new engines be coming to the Minifreak as well?
Mega Mr. Renflow says Thanx!
