Arturia Microfreak: How to Sync with Korg Volcas!

Today we're looking at how to sync the Arturia Microfreak with any of the Korg Volcas! This can be a very handy way to utilize the two fairly robust sequencers featured in both synthesizers in a side by side fashion. Enjoy the video!

The part where you mentioned the cable to use for the clock in and out to sync. Pure gold for a newbie like me. Now to see what other gear I have that I can sync the MF with. Thank you!

Excellent explanation of sync and clock. Thanks very much. Now I'm not confused about sync and MIDI.

The microfreak does have an audio in - you can use a trrs with the headphone out as a mic/line in. That’s how the vocoder update works :)

Hey man, just a quick comment to tell you your videos are freakin helpful, thank you! I got some POs, a Microfreak and a Volca and some of your videos inspired me and helped me a ton. I just posted my first jam with these and it's partially thanks to you :)

Question: Would the sync also work through MIDI?

[farbklangmaske]

Thanks. Good to know that my freak behaves normal. It works perfectly as master with volcas/Logues via clock. But as slave the freak only works with MIDI, that always sends start/stop which can be a pain in the ass.

More about the Microfreak and how tro use the the sequencer etc

[ibrajimenez]

Why am I watching this? I don't have any of these machines.... But I will now? Haha thanks!

Great video! I know this has nothing to do with what your doing or talking about, but don’t you think the Microfreak looks like a VST? It’s unreal looking lol!

[maxmatson]

Thanks for the video.👍 I just bought a "micro freak" and I'm trying to sync it to my Korg volcas. I was hoping I could get it to Take clock "in" from a volca?

[idaho_rex]

Can you have midi coming into the MF and still send the clock to the volca?

[scotthamrick]

Great video. Thanks! MIDI newbie question here: I am recording with a partner remotely. I have the Microfreak. He has the Volca. Is it possible to include the sync info in the files we record and send back and forth so that what we record is synced properly? We are using Reaper.

I have come up with a pattern on the microfreak. However, when I press play the korg volca plays ridiculously fast.... any idea?

[calyptratus]

When I play a sequence on my Microfreak, My Korg Volca goes super fast. If I turn it down on the Microfreak to 30bpm which is the slowest setting, my Volca goes slower but still going fast like triple the speed....

[viktorplevnes]

I have the MicroFreak and a Roland TR6s and I am struggling to make them play together when Dawless. Any help? Thank you in advance

[evankeal]

I think things change when you use volca beats, since beats is essentially a looper, I have only tried using the beats as the sync source, I am interested to try it the opposite way.

[aplusimagery]

Trying get this to work with my Roland T-8 no luck ! Any help ?

[Charlieboy]

When i sync my MF to any of my volcas the tempo on the volcas are at top speed and thwy act crazy. Im not sure whats going on? Can you help?

[tydemay]

Can the Arturia Microfreak and a Korg Kaosillator be synced together

[alexhennessy]

I managed to sync my Microfreak to my Volca Sampler as you explained but I only get one step every keypress on the Microfreak. So one key press equals step one, keypress two equals step two. I was hoping I would be able to sync a beat I made on the Sample 2 with an arp on the microfreak
