Arturia MiniFreak - Vintage Machine [SOUNDSET] • Custom Presets

video upload by Mr. Card

"My private collection of vintage old sounds dedicated to Arturia MiniFreak. I’ve always loved warm, lo-fi sounds. I decided to create them using one of my favorite synthesizers. I really like Arturia MiniFreak for its functionality and sound. With this soundset, you can take your instrument to the next level. The presets are fully compatible with the Arturia MiniFreak V virtual instrument. Check out my soundset: https://bit.ly/minifreak-vintage 🎵"

background
The 78th work of my own modular synth.
One of Eurorack's standard modules is MATHS. One of the uses of MATHS is Envelope follower, but this Envelope follower is difficult to use properly.
I have created an Envelope follower in the past. This time, I decided to create a compressor as one of the application examples of Envelope follower.

Opto compressor
Compressors include VCA and FET as means of compressing audio, but there is also a type called opto compressor that uses Vactrol (analog photocoupler).
Although the responsiveness is poor, we decided to create an opto compressor this time because it can be created inexpensively with few parts.

Product specifications
Eurorack standard 3U 6HP size
Power supply: 20mA (+12V), 20mA (-12V)

opto compressor using Vactrol LCR-0203.
The idea is to use it to increase the sound pressure by compressing the entire MIXed audio, or to change the impression of the sound by compressing a single percussion sound such as KICK.

THRESHOLD: Adjustment of the level at which compression starts.
RATIO: Attenuation rate adjustment. By increasing RATIO, it is possible to compress at a magnification of 1x or less. In other words, the louder the input audio, the lower the output can be.
RELEASE: Adjust the RELEASE TIME of the built-in Envelope follower.
VOLUME: Audio out amplification. Lowering the THRESHOLD lowers the overall volume, so the VOLUME POT compensates for the volume drop.
LED: The more compresson is applied, the brighter the light will light up.
Also used for calibration.
IN: Audio input. It is assumed to be used at Vpp=10V (-5V~+5V).
OUT: Audio out

Production cost

"Elektron Digitakt II and Twisted Electrins MEGAfm working together ❤️

Really had fun jaming with these two… MEGAfm is my favourite synth and the Digitakt 2 is really growing on me and probably the sample drum machine I love the most."

Batchas - Energy

video upload by batchas

"The VCF4 on the Fenix 2 acts as a low pass gate. It's a 12db/oct low pass VCF with an additional sweep envelope generator.

I find the sound of the VCF4 sent to the Waveshaper quite interesting and unique."

Drum Machine History by Oli Freke

"The drum machine has progressed massively since the days of the home organ player. Here Oli Freke takes us through a brief history with lots of audio examples, highlighting the most iconic models to have been released during the last 60 years and the part they have played in shaping musical trends."

You might remember Oli Freke from his Synthesizer Evolution book, synth posters, and demos previously posted here.
