I've had this little synth sitting around for several years and I've used it very seldomly, mainly because keys take some getting used to. Lately, due to budget constraints and my desire for a good polysynth, I've decided to explore it more deeply and this video is super helpful. You laid it out step by step and I was able to easily recreate your patch and then start changing each value to create a broad range of sounds. The mod matrix, which is the main tool for developing interesting patches, has been a little bit elusive but what you did here was simple and effective. It's a great sounding synthesizer at any price. Thanks for the lesson.

Beautiful sounds, I can’t wait to make similar patches myself now.

[TheFurlock]

I love how gentle you are in your composing…

[DTime]

Thanks! Very nice :-) I almost gave up on my Microfreak, but now it is back in the game.

Great ambient track. Thank you for explaining.. Greetz from Belgium

So inspiring!! The Microfreak keeps impressing me at every turn, and your use of it along with a subtle touch of reverb and delay.. absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much!

[jaysire]

I just had my first "whoa" experience following your example when I started jamming along with the sequence one octave higher. Nice tutorial!

[syzygy]

This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing this.

[natasharook]

This is awesome! Thankyou for sharing and helping me love my instrument more 😊

[enjoixander]

Great tutorial! Such relaxing music and instruction, now to listen to the full performance

That’s actually really good!! I’m sort of stuck with the two operator FM waveform, as it doesn’t really add up in my understanding of FM. Still very cool, I guess I’m thinking it ought to have a secondary layer for modulating it’s carrier? Really great turorial!! THANK YOU!! This patch here led me on to trying the second envelope as an actual second envelope and routing it through to some of the timing parameters on the arpeggiator and the timbre knob, very cool!! KEEP IT UP!!

Just got this in the mail! My first synth. I’m thinking my next synth is gonna be a korg minilouge

[stario]

Mine is on the way. Why do you think the Zoom CDR is often paired with this?

[chrisdaniels]

This is fantastic, thank you for sharing

[ThomC]

Wonderful sounds! Love the warmth of this combination! :) thanks a lot for sharing.

Love it thanks so much for the inspiration

This pedal seems to be the Avalanche Run by Earthquaker Devices but i can't find it with that graphic. Is this custom?

[barrycreed]

Can you explain the part after you hit random, I can't see the screen with the settings (rate, and step) and my loop only plays back partially, or not like yours!
