MicroFreak upgrade: My favorite synth can now play samples!

[michaelkonomos]

Whenever people accuse “SynthTubers” of being elitist or fetishizing expensive gear I am going to point them to this video (and others) that celebrate well-designed, inexpensive gear.

Just wanted to say, every time I watch one of your videos I get a burst of inspiration that I end up opening my Ableton to work on the tons of unfinished music that's piling up. The way you edit your videos and your enthusiasm for the tech and breaking down how it works is very inspiring - your channel is a gem that deserves way more!

OMG thanks for letting us know! Gonna start playing with my microfreak the minute I get some time off, can't believe they added this feature!! The gift that never stops giving

David is the most wholesome music youtuber. Not only do I learn something new from him every time I watch his videos - but it also has some kind of a relaxing, therapeutic effect on me. Good job David!

I come from the 70s and 80s. I think the Microfreak is not just amazing for its price but just one of the best synths ever. Already a classic.

I just downloaded this update the other day so it's very handy having someone illustrate it. Thank you David!

Nicely done! That flute sounds soooo good!!

I have been in a music rut for around a year, finally upgraded my Microfreak to firmware v5 and digging into the sample functions because of this video. Thank you for the simple, creative, and straightforward explanation!!❤ I could not for the life of me figure out how to get the sample modes to work right up.. I felt super dumb

I love sound and synth, but I'm fully self taught as of a few years ago. samplers and sample pads just are really fun and speaks to me. My bf and I went to a store on my bday a while back and I played with the MFreak for a few minutes and had to have it.

This is by far my favorite thing about Arturia, how they keep adding functionalities to older models. Many companies would just re skin and release as a new model instead of upgrading a synth that came out 4 years ago.

[MsIkari]

It's so funny I was just debating getting one and went to go watch your review and here's this new video. Always happy to see you work! This is def a great way to start my bday today. Thanks for doing what you do!

[TheHairlipDog]

I am probably not going to say this correctly but I hope my meaning is clear. You have a great voice for this sort of thing. Between that and your phrase and general vibe it just makes this whole thing easy to watch and a great experience.

One of my favorite uploaders- thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and music with us

Positive energy comes from this. Thank you

i've been making music for almost 3 years and playing keyboard for 2—just wanna put it out there that you make what looks like the simplest chords to play just going off finger placement sound beautiful and intricate, haha. you inspire the heck out of me

Właśnie zainstalowałem aktualizację i wgrywam pierwsze sample, dzięki David za kolejną inspirację! Mam sporo sprzętu ale Microfreak daje tyle radości i satysfakcji! To wspaniałe, że w dzisiejszym świecie są takie perły jak Arturia. Cały czas rozwijają możliwości. Każde odpalenie Microfreaka to przygoda, odkrywanie i tony zabawy! IMO jeden z najwspanialszych instrumentów w całej historii, nigdy się nie nudzi, zawsze zaskakuje, a godziny mijają jak minuty ;)

[VelvetVoice]

Damn! This incredible little instrument simply keeps getting better and better with every update! SO glad I chose to invest in one last year - it's worth its weight in gold! Samples just open up a whole new avenue of possibilities beyond what it was already capable of.

[Breakdafunklooseforever]

Im glad tou all jave this because the music i want to make will be forever stuck in my head and soul. Youre very lucky to have this tech.

[NyxTheShieldOFFICIAL]

Are you kidding, I literally grabbed one today hahaha Lets

[goranjosic]

The music he makes at the end sounds so retro to me, like the music during or at the end of TV documentaries and science shows from the 90s!
I can imagine Carl Segan saying something in fron of camera as this music gets louder and louder. 😄
Nice to hear!

[carbonboy]

I love my MicroFreak. I can't wait to do the upgrade and thanks for making it so easy.
