Arturia MicroFreak Only Acid - 4 Tabs of Acid - Techno Jam

video upload by ChrisLody

"I think I might be back on the jam wagon. This was going to be a dawless jam originally as I'd planned to sync the MicroFreak up to my 4 track in the same manner as I do my Volca, by recording the sync click. I got it working fairly well by running the sync click through a Volca into the MicroFreak but despite doing this multiple times sucessfully in the past it kept skipping today. Midi sync to Reaper it is then

So this is a track build from 4 layers of MicroFreak with a little reverb, including the drum sounds, nothing more. I'm quite proud of my kick drum sound as I have made a fake reverb tail using the noise engine, the MicroFreak has no effects to do this so programming tricks are needed. I've also synthesized Hi-Hats, an acid bass and a grotty string like pad.

I've not been using the MicroFreak long. I've had it a a few months but I've not really had the chance to explore what it can do until now, but I like what I'm hearing :)

The sounds I made and use in this video are available here in the *.mfpz format for Arturia's Midi Control Centre: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/l6c592egul..."
