Why the MiniFreak Is Changing the Synth Game — 2025 Review

video upload by Sineway

"Arturia MiniFreak is not just a synth — it’s a hybrid that finally makes sense.

It’s got analog filters, digital oscillators, and all the freaky sound design options you’d expect — but it has also removed the single biggest friction point I have with every other hardware synth. It's honestly redefined how I make music.

In this video, I’ll walk through some of the MiniFreak’s sound design tools, play some of my favorite patches, and show you exactly what makes it stand out in a sea of synths."

Elastic OSC Jam with Red Sky Lullaby Presets

video upload by Oliver Greschke

"Elastic OSC will get released 5.5.25 !! 🥳
In this short noodle, I play with the presets created by Red Sky Lullaby. The Arturia MicroFreak is used only as a MIDI keyboard, all sounds and effects are generated by Elastic OSC itself.

Elastic OSC is a synthesizer app based on the DSP code of the Mutable Instruments Plaits hardware oscillator module, one of the most beloved (and cloned) oscillator module in the Eurorack modular scene! While Plaits is monophonic, Elastic OSC can also be used in 8-voice polyphonic mode. This means you can use it either as a sophisticated, experimental monophonic sound source — like the original — or as a regular polyphonic keyboard with a wide variety of great sounds. Of course, you can also combine both approaches!

Elastic OSC is designed for playability and simplicity – similar to the Plaits hardware, which has 4 Main Knobs for all essential Synth Parameters. Elastic OSC is essentially a one-screen app with no menu diving. It features two XY pads for intuitive sound manipulation of the OSC engine and the effects. Despite the simplicity of the clean interface, the sound possibilities are vast. Under the surface you’ll find 24 different oscillator models and the ability to automate parameter changes, as it is possible in all Elastic apps."

California Highway 163: San Diego's beautiful and scenic freeway

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We take a trip along California Highway 163 (Cabrillo Freeway), a particularly beautiful freeway in San Diego. It beings as a historic parkway running through Balboa Park and under Cabrillo Bridge. After its interchange with Interstate 8, it opens up to a wide modern freeway until its northern terminus at a junction with Interstate 5. Along the way we also pass Interstate 805 and California Highway 52.

The southern parkway section of CA 163 was once part of US 395, which extended all the way to downtown San Diego.

The music reflects the two sections of the highway, with a noticeable change when we move from the historic parkway to the modern freeway.

Original music features the following instruments:
iOptigan
Cherry Audio KR-55C, Yellowjacket, Mercury 6, Elka X, Filtomika, Stardust 201
Arturia CMI V, CP 70, Pigments, MiniBrute
EastWest Fab Four, Stormdrum 2, Gypsy
Buchla Red Panel 158 module

Analogue Solutions AS500-SEQ Driving a Vintage ARP Odyssey | 64-Step CV Sequencer Demo

video upload by rezfilter

"AS500-SEQ connected to a vintage ARP Odyssey.
It’s sending gate and CV to the Odyssey and clock to the Arturia DrumBrute. Tempo and start/stop are controlled directly from the sequencer.

X, Y, and Jump switches are triggered live to modify the sequence. CV is also patched into the Odyssey’s Pedal input for subtle shifts.

Glide from the AS500-SEQ is active throughout.
The DrumBrute’s audio is fed into the Odyssey’s External Input."

Ample Synthesizer: Sweeping Cutoff with Built-In Echo
video upload by rezfilter

"This patch on the Ample Synthesizer features a multi-oscillator sequence running via its onboard sequencer. The resonance is set high to highlight the harmonic character of the filter as I sweep the cutoff frequency. You’ll hear how the onboard echo effect adds depth and movement to the sound. I’m also using the touchpads, each preset to a different cutoff value via its dedicated pot, allowing for quick and expressive tonal changes throughout the sequence."

"Original Composition created with an Arturia Microfreak synthesizer and a MPC2500 for the drum track. Eurorack modules providing some visual background.
