Arturia Minifreak - Feature Overview and 3 Patches from Scratch!

video upload by Oscillator Sink

"The biggest little synth has arrived! The Minifreak is the grown-up and expanded sibling of the Microfreak, taking everything that made the Microfreak so compelling and adding *more of everything*.

In this video I provide an overview of the Minifreak's features and then get right into exploring them by way of building 3, very different, patches from scratch.

addendum - I say it's 8 voice polyphony in the video, that's incorrect, it's 6.

Transparency Notice: Arturia kinda provided this unit to me for free for the purposes of making videos. They have not asked for, neither have they been given, any editorial oversight into the contents of this video.

"Korg's brand new hybrid drum machine is finally here. In this video I will provide an "FAQ" overview of its features and then demonstrate said features by building a beat from scratch.

Transparency Notice: Korg kindly provided me with the Drumlogue for the purposes of making video content with it, but they have had no editorial oversight on this video's content, nor have they requested any.

Drumlogue - My First 3 Beats
video upload by Oscillator Sink

"Here are my first 3 beats made with the Drumlogue. Any saturation or compression you hear is coming from the Drumlogue itself - the only processing applied in post is some very gentle shelving EQ on the master bus and a master limiter to bring up the overall volume (which is hardly doing any work, just catching the occasional volume spike.

Beat 1 is probably the most conventional of the 3 beats, using most of the tracks "normally" - of interest though is the "bell/piano" riff which plays at the start (and through much of the track) which is actually the High Tom analogue track, essentially "pinging" the filter with the resonance nearly maxed out. The bass synth part is the Multi channel in VPM mode for some FM-like goodness. The master track is set to compressor mode and set very very aggressively, but then dialed back with the wet/dry control for parallel compression fattening action.

Beat 2 is an exploration of distortion with distortion and bit-crushing on most of the tracks, and the boost Master effect providing even more grit. I've also routed the reverb and delay into the Master effect so that the can both contribute to the texture; this is why the kick sounds like an explosion. The 'windy' synth line is the Noise Multi Engine mode

Beat 3 was an experiment to see how sliced beats might be able to be handled. Obviously the slices had to be prepared outside of the Drumlogue, but once that was done, importing them and sequencing the slices using motion sequencing on the sample tracks was easy enough. I'm using two sample tracks here - one set up just to handle kicks and the other set up polymetrically with lots of probability to handle everything else. The two sample tracks are set up as a choke group so that the kick samples always cuts into whatever the other one it doing. The Master effect is set up to do big pumping compression, side-chained to the kick (which is bypassing the compressor). The acidic bassline is the Nano user oscillator type on the Multi channel.

"Combination of the Elektron 'Analog Four' synthesizer and sequencer along with a classical string quartet.

I have written the score with the Staffpad score player and editor. The library used for the string sounds is Berlin Strings First Chairs from Orchestral tools (Staffpad version)."

LoFi Future Analog Glitch FX Processor (19" rackmount)

video upload by LoFiFuture

"Available to order here: https://lofifuturestore.square.site/p...

This unit is the result of 2 years of development. It is an analog glitch FX processor based around an original video enhancer circuit.

This unit is a prototype of a new glitch processor circuit that we will be releasing in euro rack / desktop format in early 2023.

The core circuit features a sharpness control, a chroma/saturation control and a contrast fader. Added onto this core circuit are 7 separate circuit bends (effects) each one has its own distinctive effect and can be combined with each other. The contrast fader has a significant effect on how each circuit bend behaves so it can be used as somewhat of an effects crossfader.

As the contrast fader changes the appearance of all of the circuit bent effects it also has an audio reactive circuit that can control it so and of the 7 circuit bends can be synced to audio. The audio reactive circuit features a 3.5mm line input, an internal microphone (on the rear) and a decay length switch (to switch from short to long decay)

It features a composite input and output that supports both PAL and NTSC signals

The unit requires a 12V DC power supply"

"This synthesizer is in amazing condition, with just a few cosmetic flaws. Insanely clean, looks as if it's a just a few years old, not nearly 40! The previous owner used a small amount of yellow paint to mark settings, not super noticeable. Keys are super white and everything functions as expected. Fully calibrated and tuned for optimal playability.

Includes matching mod grip, original manual and a new Roland branded power supply."

"This 191 system is fully functioning and sounds great! I'll be ultra-critical here in my description, as I know I'd want another seller to be as well.

The unit is missing the back panel on one of the modules (the 112). It has been this way since I purchased it back in 2010. Of course, this doesn't affect functionality in any way, but the back is exposed on this module.. I was going to have a back panel fabricated, but never got around to this. There are metalwork people who can do this online.

There is rack rash on top of the unit as seen in the photos. There's a small nick on one of the wooden sides on the 191 case. The sliders on the 150 module are slightly askew for the Clock Rate and the Lag Time, which can be put back into place -- I just never had the immediate need to correct this aesthetic! They work great.

The system functions beautifully and sounds awesome! It's a real System 100m, so you know what you're getting there. It has the lesser-seen 180 keyboard, which is rare in its own right, as well as the 191 case as opposed to the typical 191J."
