For me the Arturia Minifreak is the perfect first synth. It provides different oscillator engines, all controllable with 3 knobs. You don't have to understand how those engines work and instead play with these knobs and learn by sound. It provides a super simple to use sequencer and effects so you don't have to buy those (which you usually don't own if its your first synth) and it has a plugin that can be used stand alone or to control the synth (also perfect for your first plugin). Not only that: Arturia provides extensive video tutorials and free preset banks. The plugin also has interactive tutorials where you learn each feature interactive by playing with them and getting explanations (this is so amazing for beginners). And they provide new updates all the time with major new features.
Either the minifreak or the Roland JDXI - the JDXi has more sequencers but less sound shaping options, but for a beginner, less knobs can be a good thing. The microfreak seems a little too condensed for an absolute beginner, but I might be wrong.
@@sickbeatsproductions6664 the minifreak is pretty cool when it comes to synthesis, but the sequencer is a bit disappointing, the mod touch strip kind of makes up for it though.
@@Xanaduum yeah the sequencer is not bad for what I use it for. I just program a loop and then start tweaking knobs until I get some weird sound and then just match the tempo to fl studio and record it in so I don’t have to actually play it live lol
@@sickbeatsproductions6664 definately good for that. 😀 Can be a bit frustrating trying to get the sequencer to record a melody and have it sound the same as how you played it on this synth. But once you have it, the little touch mod strips are a joy to use for modulating the sequence. Need to get more to grips with the step recorded modulation and the matrix, but I always learn mod matrixes last on synths that have them, can be annoying at first.
Thank you for the time and energy you’ve put into this. Extremely helpful for someone like me who just got the Minifreak as his first synth and is at the beginning of the music producing journey. Much appreciated!
Bro you rock ! 🎉 Mpc has its Bible, octatrack has the merlin's guide and I was wondering what was the Minifreak greatest education program. I'm pretty sure I found it ❤
Thanks , glad to hear that :) My MPC version is coming out soon, for free on YT. I am trying to build the best free resource available on the web. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for the great video ❤ I have a question regarding the LFO that someone might me able to answer. Is it possible to adjust the phase of a waveform, e.g. a sine wave? I would like to offset the waveform so that it goes into the negative part first but haven’t yet found a way to do it.
Thanks for the comment !! I have the 49 keys. Coming soon, I have to move first, so I need to rebuild my studio before I start recording. But I will release the deep dive, and a full creating patches series.
@@XNBeatsMusic wow thanks so much! you’re the best! I just watched your KO 2 deep dive, I love it, you really made me realize the deepness of the device so I can’t wait to see the Hydrasynth tutorial!

I don’t know much about synthesis and I’ve been about to make some wild sounds just by tweaking presets. I love this synth.

That's what we've been waiting for!!!!! thanks
Maaan i thought i could watch this before dinner in 3 min…lease, i had to download it and come back when everyone is asleep😅😂🎉.
A good problem to have! 🍻
Thank you this helps immensely!
Hey, thanks for the comment and support.
would you consider doing the “Hydrasynth Explorer”?
Thanks for the comment !! I have the 49 keys. Coming soon, I have to move first, so I need to rebuild my studio before I start recording. But I will release the deep dive, and a full creating patches series.

He’ll yes 🙌 thank you
Hope you like it. Thanks for the comment.
Really great content. Thanks man. Subscribed.
1:22:23 Have you thought about the video yet?
Great deep-dive - thanks.
Good one.
Thank for the comment.
Why does everyone assume this is a synth for beginners?
A lot of people looking to get into synths jump to this one. There's a lot of videos that will recommend it for starters
спасибо!!!)))классс!!!)))
Thanks for the comment :)
Very nice! You want some bailys in that coffee?
