Arturia MicroFreak (Part 1)

Published on Jul 13, 2019 CatSynth TV

"We explore the new MicroFreak from Arturia, looking a range of presets and taking a detailed look at all the oscillator types included in this instrument: basic waveforms, super wave, wavetable, harmonics (additive synthesis), Karplus-Strong, virtual analog, waveshaping, 2-operator FM, vocal formants, chords, speech synthesis, and modal synthesis.

There will also be a part 2 soon that explores the other features, so please subscribe to be notified as soon as it is available.

From www.arturia.com:
"A synthesizer like no other, MicroFreak is a peculiar, exceptional instrument that rewards the curious musician. It blends wavetable and digital oscillators with analog filters. It features a unique poly-aftertouch flat keyboard. It adds controlled randomness to sequences...This out-there little music machine features a versatile digital oscillator so you can create rare and interesting sounds with ease. Modes like Wavetable, KarplusStrong, Harmonic OSC, and Superwave give adventurous musicians the chance to explore totally new, unheard possibilities. Like having dozens of synths in just one instrument, both wild-eyed newcomers and seasoned professionals will fall in love with MicroFreak’s flexible, powerful synth engine."

[diy] Lil CMOS Toolbox - First quick drone synth patch

Published on Jul 13, 2019 planeteatrr

"This is one of the first tests of this neat little circuit, in combination with the Zoom MS70. CMOS ics are very handy, when it comes to expand the possibilities of a (semi-)modular synthesizer. The idea started as an expander for the Behringer Neutron. I always felt that the Neutron is lacking some kind of modulation for the oscillator section. So the Toolbox provides a ring-modulator (quite similar to the one in the Korg MS-20) and a sub-oscillator, to fulfill my needs.

Here is a list of the features:

- Ring-modulator
- Sub-oscillator (-1/-2 Octave)
- Clock divider
- 2 oscillators (square)
- Comparator
- Buffer"
