Free Presets for Arturia Microfreak Firmware 3: Vintage Tape (Soundset Demo)

Anton Anru

"And again Arturia make us happy with the release of the new firmware for Microfreak. This time, in version 3, they added three fantastic oscillators by Noise Engineering: Bass, Harm, and Sawx, that give new perspectives in sound design. And what I liked the most is that each of these oscillators has Noise parameter, it sounds very pleasant and give the timbre sort of vintage color.

Also, a unison mode is added, this mean you may stack all 4 voices in one note to get super fat leads, basses, plucks and so on.

Arturia keep on proving that Microfreak is indeed a synth with endless potential. Who knows what else they are going to add to the synth in future, and I can imagine how big this "Micro" is going to be...

When I got the firmware I started exploring the new possibilities immediately, I was excited about the sound and saved some presets in a short time. And now, to celebrate the news I decided to share the presets made with these new oscillators with all Microfreak users.

"Vintage Tape" is a collection of 10 paraphonic ambient presets with some retro mood thanks to the Noise and Detune parameters.

All presets have Press parameter set to Aftertouch, so you may develop the sound with your hands without touching any parameters.

Spiken by BENGE. Modcan A Series (self-playing patch)

zack dagoba

"A minimalist study on the Modcan A Series modular system. This is a self-playing patch which utilises two voltage controlled LFOs to generate the timing pulses, and random voltages to control pitch. There are also two audio samplers in the signal path which help generate the spikes

minipops 2O2 ~ breakbeats 'n' stuff

wildchurch

"a build of jan ostman's O2 minipops arduino drum machine with different samples and patterns

first a quick run through of the patterns/samples:
~ there are 12 patterns selected by push buttons
~ i've added kick, snare, tom, hi-hat and cymbal derived from 808 and casiotone! samples while retaining the original cowbell, clave and maracas

second part shows some MIDI clock sync'ing along with triggered filters via the analog reset out
~ an arduino MIDI sequencer/arpeggiator: http://brendanclarke.com/2014/04/23/a... drives a Yamaha WT11 with patches
~ the WT11 stereo out runs through separate filters for left and right
~ the minipops reset out tiggers an ADSR (via clock divider and trigger to gate conversion)
~ ADSR output goes to buffered multiples to produce two signals - one to each filter's cv input"

Polyend Tracker & Arturia MicroFreak

Polyend

'Made by Renoizer"

Modular self-playing patch: Erica Black Sequencer, Roland 510, Octocontroller, Clouds etc.

Brittle stR music

"This is a 3 voice patch, all sequenced from the Erica Black Sequencer:

* Lead sound is the Roland 510 synth voice with auto-panning from the Erica DSP, before going into Halls of Valhalla on the Tiptop Z-DSP.
* The ‘bass clarinet’ sound is the Doepfer A-111-5 synth voice with panning and delay from my DSI Pro-2, then Lexicon reverb.
* The abstract background is a noise source from Abstract Data Octocontroller, band-pass filtered by Tiptop, modulated by a CV track from the sequencer, enveloped and amped, then into Mutable Clouds for some unpredictable granulation. (I have absolutely no idea why it’s doing what it’s doing!)

On the 2 tonal tracks, there’s probability on a lot of the steps for melodic variation. I’ve just acquired the Black Sequencer, and it’s great having probability in Eurorack at last!"

Wing Pinger Pulses

Robin Rimbaud-Scanner

"A rhythmic exploration of the truly inspiring Meng Qi Wing Pinger. A simple live improvisation running the Wing Pinger through the Eventide H9 pedal, and a little bit of looping with the Montreal Assembly Count to 5 pedal later on. A little sketch, nothing more. And, of course, recommended to listen to on speakers or headphones 😀"
