Using Arturia's MicroFreak with VCV Rack

Premieres Jul 11, 2019 Omri Cohen

"Well, making this video took longer than I expected, and only because I spent more time playing and enjoying this little device than actually recording... The MicroFreak from Arturia is such a nice companion to VCV Rack, able to connect in various levels at the same time like sequencing voices in VCV, acting as a Midi controller for hands-on experience tweaking parameters in VCV, and even receive sequences and modulation from VCV.
Thank you, Arturia for sending me the MicroFreak!

Introduction - 00:24 Syncing via Midi - 00:50 Syncing via clock - 05:35 Processing the sounds of the MicroFreak - 07:52 Using the MicroFreak as a Midi controller - 12:26 Sending Midi to the MicroFreak - 27:34

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #74: Access Virus A - Song 3

Published on Jul 11, 2019 Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the third song with the Access Virus A. It's a 12 voice polyphonic virtual analog synth with two OSC per voice and two independent resonant filters.

I used for the recording the following FX:
Alesis Ampliton, Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe, GFI System Specular Reverb 2. Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated

The signal went through a Presonus StudioLive 16.0.2 into the PC via USB for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track."

"A Guidebook, A Notebook, A Reference Book."

via www.synthdawg.com

"It’s finally here! After many requests it seems to have been a long time coming but The Analog Four Notebook has arrived. 270+ pages of walkthroughs, guides, tips and a deep dive into the Analog Four synth by Elektron. Labelled as an unofficial guide it aims to compliment rather than replace the official manual going deeper in and taking a users perspective in getting the best from the Analog Four MkI, MkIi and Analog Keys. As with all Synthdawg e-books it is a reference for new and experienced users alike, a guidebook and a notebook with sections for personal notes when used within a pdf editor such as Adobe or GoodNotes. In addition The Elektron DIgitakt new OS 1.11 release has been covered in the updated DIgitakt Notebook taking the new scale and randomisation features into account. The Analog Four joins the DIgitakt and Teenage Engineering’s OP-1 In the Producer Notebook family. The mantra of Synthdawg is to bring valuable help to the synth community with producer guides written from a users perspective that can be made personal and used alongside your gear and support your creative process all for the price of a cup of coffee. The producer guides are available at www.synthdawg.com"
