this sound you made brought me to tears, i might pick up a synth and try for myself. thank you sir
Beargrives, I'm glad you found it useful! See ya on streams, every Friday 19:00(utc) Space ambient and dub live. Welcome🪴
@4:56 "let's hear the lower keys... OK that's good." 😁👍 Amen!
😀
Thanks Dmitry! Very nice :-) I almost gave up on my Microfreak, but now it is back in the game.
Spring is coming
For I hear woo woo synth on the wind
Scavengers will try woo woo too
Till they too fall & are heard no more
Awesome, getting this next. Sounds so smooth and sexy
Hello! Welcome 🪴🦋
@@dmitryleeo hi D.
Exactly the kind of video tutorial I am glad to watch! Great contents, as usual, Dmitry! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Romain. Hope this is usual.
This is so helpful, beautiful and inspiring - thank you!
Welcome, Ma Ka!
Nice! I like these kinds of sounds. I've got some patches you may like shared in a link on one of my Microfreak videos.
Ok, Donald. I do this. Good patches what i love!
I was moved by the sound, like your vibe, thank you
Welcome, Peng. New tutorials soon!
You know what you do...amazing sound and great Tutorial, THX a Lot .
Nice job 👍🏼🏴☠️✌🏼
The Microfreak is such a versatile and powerful tool .
I’m going to have a look at the Zoom maybe free up some space on my live rig.
Cheers
Thank you!
Thanks. Loving the tutorial. The Particle Reverb on the Zoom CDR is amazing!
I'm glad it worked for you. Particle is good but you need to be careful with the low frequencies before it.
A wonderful tutorial, now I know what to do with my Microfreak and Zoom 😅
This is a great duet!
Wow, this is so beautiful. Subscribed!
Welcome, Djordje!
Very beautiful mate. Thanks for sharing 🙌🏼
I just got a MicroFreak a couple days ago. This video seems like a good primer for (a friend 😄) to begin making dark ambient music (because my “friend” likes that sort of sound 😉). Now this “friend” of mine doesn’t have any physical pedals, so he’ll have to set up some effects on miRack and be content with that! 😄👍🏼👍🏼
:)) Ha-ha - I'm sure you'll do this better!
Multi-fx pedals are cheap and plentiful on eBay, Reverb etc…
Great tutorial, many thanks!
What a lovely melody you were working with.
Thank you! I'm happy 😀
This is so beautiful, thank you Sir!
Шикарно!
Very good tutorial, thank you for sharing more!
Great skills you have man! Thanks for the upload.
I'm happy to share this
Wish I kept my microfreak. Pairing it with my deluge would be amazing. Great little tutorial.
I'm very glad you found this useful! I'm sure it will be a great duet- deluge and mf
Especially since the Deluge is battery and the Micro can be USB powered...
excellent. inspiring and easy to follow. subscribed.
freaking awesome. Thank you sir!
Thank you for comment! Welcome to channel♥️
Excellent tutorial. Thanks!
Welcome🫶
Great tutorial and a new subsciber thank you 🙏
Thank you, welcome!
noise - dist - cutoff = done (it’s easier and faster to get to the sound, without the load of synth, and for experiments there are more opportunities to stick on top)
Yes, except his sound sounds a lot more interesting than just filtered noise
That was great. Thank you 🎉
♥️welcome !
Thanks a lot!🔥👍🏻
Beautiful sound
Thank you, welcome 🪴
Loveli tutorial, thank Man
Welcome, my friend🦋
Nice tutorial? great patch! Thanks man!
Love this
Welcome, Tony!
Nicely done sir... subbed!
I use the MS-70 CDR for Minilogue XD. For the Microfreak I got the Zoom G 1 Four.
Amazing job
Thank you ❤️
beautiful
🪴
Name a better duo than Microfreak + MS70CDR
Okay maybe except TR909 + TB303
Digitakt + Digitone - yeah
Beautiful! I am going to follow along and try this tomorrow - thank you!
Such a nicely made video too. Your style of explanation is so clear and reassuring; it’s a very enjoyable film and perfectly matches the sound you made. Wonderful.
I have a question. Why is the black tape covering half of the ‘grain de folie’ slogan? I have seen this before and always wondered. My theory is that it’s about not promoting unkind mental health terms (‘folie’ = ‘madness’)… but I’m new to this scene so it could be something entirely different.
Anyway - again, a lovely video and great tutorial. Thank you!
Thanks for the comment! I'm sure you can handle it. About black tape: this is a factory protective scotch, I didnt remove it. I didn't even know what it said before you asked 😅
@@dmitryleeo Ha! Sometimes the simplest answer is the correct one! Thanks :-)
It will sound good on slicer ,
Hola Dimitry. He vuelto a ver el vídeo de nuevo. Una pregunta....que programa utiizas para mezclar el audio y el vídeo?
I'm so glad you found this useful. I use Adobe Premiere for editing.
Yeah! A tutorial from you ! More ...
Grande!
👍👍👍Super ❤
I'm glad, if it suits you!
Veery nice🎉
Thank you, Mikamulperi! Welcome🫶
Could you please describe your setup a bit more. Is the audio signal going directly from the microfreak into the Zoom-CDR and from there directly into your recording device? Is there no mixer involved? Maybe a stupid question, but I have the same setup, but behind the effect pedal I lose quite some volume. I am really a newbie concerning such setups. How do you use the microfreak together with an effect pedal in an optimal way? Thanks for any input. 🙏
After the pedal, the signal goes straight to the recorder. Almost all effects have a gain knob, so you can add just enough volume.
very good my friend
Nice.👍😎
The video was great.
Quite a learning kerb with sounds.
I am tossing up between the Microfreak or the Korg Minilogue.
Your view?
I am aiming at creating ambient sounds like you do.
I have a Roland Juno DS 61 to help out.
What does your silver Korg box do?
Do I need one?
If you choose Microfreak you need to think about what effects you will use for it because without them it sounds quite tiny. Also it work as sample player. You can consider Minifreak? It has built-in effects. Korg Minilogue has very beautyful build in effects and you can upload Many third-party effects and oscillators. I think minilogue more interesting than microfreak but MiniFreak so intetesyed too. About little Korg Box. It is Korg NTS-1 - Cheap diy synth with minilogue models gen. chip. It support sounds from minilogue/monologue and etc. If you want to try the sounds and effects from minilogue, but don't want to pay more than $150, then this is your choice.
As a beginner with my Microfreak and synth in general, is a pedal absolutely necessary?
I think it's legendary pedal. You get a full-fledged sounddesign tool for low cost. Also download this preset manager you will get the entire set from all zoom ms pedals:

You may face the problem of background noise, take a look at my post about how to get rid:

You won't regret the money it costs!

Thank you! Welcome 🪴

i loved all this tutorial,,honestly i know nothing about these stuffs, i started playing piano but i love so much synthwave and 8bits sound that i got ableton 11 but i don't know i thing on how make it via software.
Every setting you do on this video make a sound so great that make me scream of happiness inside, i love so much this style of sound.
I bought an midi on amazon, an budget one and i hope it can make some cool stuffs but it will arrives only on february,so until there i will be training and learning on my casio sa46,them i can tweak something in ableton... So i want to ask if its possible to do these sounds inside this software i got (ableton 11) ?
Thank you so much for inspire me even more.
Hello, Sunny! Of course, you can do all of this on Ableton. But you need basic principles of synthesis. Read about: What is the generator, envelope, filters and modulation matrix to combine them. Also try installing plugins such as: Valhalla reverbs, Audio Damage EOS for long shimmering reverbs.
@@dmitryleeo thank you very much. The thing isnt about use techs its more about afordable or not. On my country its hard to find all of them and amazon dont sell many.. so its more viable on software. I will search and study all you told me. Thank you
This may be a dumb question, but if I don't have a hardware pedal could I run the microfreak through my daw and use a digital effects plug in?
Yes, you can do this. Use delay plugins where you can modulate pitch of delays, like Waves 2tap, Waves H-delay. Good reverbs for this: audio damage EOS 1-2, Valhalla. Use long time for feedback and delay time.
Hi Dmitri, thanks for this interesting video. I have a microfreak, a zoom pedal & a tascam dr05x. I think you record you with the tascam, i know that it was possible . But Never tried.... So, Is it possible to know how you connect all your instruments between them to record in the tascam Thanks in advance.
Hi Serge! If you want to connect just like in the video, you need two cables. From Microfreak to Zoom, Jack 6.3 mono and Jack 6.3 mono. From Zoom to Tascam - two 6.3 mono jacks and one 3.5 stereo mini jack. Headphones or speakers to the Tascam recorder headphone output with monitoring enabled.
Love it thanks! Can you save your settings on the Zoom and Microfreak?
Hi, Carl. I'm sorry, but a lot of time has passed since the recording and I did not save the presets then. I think it's easy enough to repeat. Сontact me if you have any questions discord.gg/WynfbQGDd7
whats that cord running the stereo output of the zoom?
Hi, Shoo! I don't quite understand what chord you are talking about?
@@dmitryleeo thank you for the reply! The cord on the left running out on the stereo output for the zoom pedal and into the tascam recorder, i’ve been looking for a stereo to 3.5mm
@Shoo Yes. You need two 6,3 mono jacks to one 3,5 stereo mini jack cable. You can do it yourself if you own a soldering iron, it's not difficult.
ty
does the Ambient sounds come with the Microfreak ?
how are the sounds that come with it ? and i saw the sound packs you can buy ..i am thinking of buying this soon
and i just sub to you .........stay safe and take care
Yes, all sounds from MF. I'm glad this video helped you. You will be able to create patches yourself without spending money on it. You can find link in the discription of this video with more free ambient patches from my YT friend. Thank you! Welcome to jam session livestream tonight, see ya!
Definitely a killer budget minded package
Any reason why someone would want to use hardware like Zoom for things like EQ, Reverb, Delay, instead of software plugins? thanks
Hello, Christopher. The reason is to get away from the computer, play the instrument without looking at the computer screen, without starting daw, this called dawless, there is a rather detailed answer in this thread on reddit: www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/e4gvih/what_are_the_pros_and_cons_of_a_dawless_setup_vs/
@@dmitryleeo just read it and that makes so much more sense. Thank you!!
I work in front of the screen 40hrs a week. Last thing I want to do is arrive home and continue plugged to it.
@@alfonsolizarazo9806 this is about me!
охуительно!
😀
What recorder is everyone using for dawless
How many recording channels do you need? I have a Tascam DR-05 for field recordings and a zoom L-8 for multi-channel
Do you have your ambient tracks on Spotify?
You can find me: Dmitry Lee'O
@@dmitryleeo Listening to Heart of the Sun album, getting that oldschool ambient Vidna Obmana, Biosphere etc vibes - great stuff!
@@sk1e I Love Biosphere! Substrata is amazing. Do you know about alt version released in 2022?
Круто!
А вы можете играть на нём Techno?
Техно можно, только это будет нано-техно, состоящее буквально из одной дорожки. А полноценно только в составе других синтезаторов.
My problem with the MS70CDR is that its sound is too characteristic, too dominant. No matter what synth you put this thing on it will always sound the same
I guess so, but this is my only pedal so far
Thats the most boring eerie dirge ive ever heard😂
🤪
EXCELLENT!!
Great tutorial video, thanks.
