Lol, much musical.

The BEST review of this amazing little synth on You Tube. I was already impressed by this fantastic machine, but your review is so musical and you really know how to bring out the best, most musical and fascinating sounds out of the synth. You have convinced me that I must get this synth and as it’s my birthday soon I’m going to treat myself to, what looks like for me, one of the best pure and fun little sound design tools ever. Thanks for your fascinating and totally brilliant review.

4:42 - I love how he almost got into exploring and reviewing the table's sound instead of the synth's sound :-D

Most fun demo I've ever seen! Especially love your facial expressions when the synth surprised you with its sounds. 🙂

I really appreciate these practical reviews, and Stimming's humor. Keep up the good work.

he is a very very special musician...everything he touches sounds good. I bought the mf. because of this review and that was my Best Buy 2019. I totally agree, this Mashine is the best Arturia product no matter hard or software!!!

This thing sounds so good, and looks so much fun to use. I think Arturia really made something special with the Microfreak! Great review! I'm going through the whole playlist now!

One of the best or maybe even the best review on YT of this little gem in our opinion. It would be really nice if @Stimming reviewed it again because of the new OS3 and now even 4 - that would be fun!

Great review from Martin as always. You always get informed and honest feedback.

I've had this synth for months now and haven't unlocked its full potential yet. Great video, thank you!

Excellent! Thank you so much for your detailed review and fun look at this synth. It looks like my Arturia arsenal will grow now. Thanks.

Love your reviews, practical and to the point and pretty much answers all my questions!

Loved the review, you can see it’s a good synth by how Stimmimg is genuinely enthusiastic about it, lovely ❤️

By far the most entertaining demo of the MicroFreak. Thanks Stimming!

Great & honest review by Martin. Gives you al the info you need, dope synth def consider buying it after this review. Good retail price.

Synth such as this make hardware setups possible for everyone. Nice review as always.

Thank you Martin for this excellent review and your performance!It's a great time watching you getting lost inside the music/sounds/instrument!

Very nice review of the major features of the synth. I would add that the black keys are raised and the black lines separating the white keys are raised too so you can develop a sense of touch with the synth as it’s more than a uniform flat keyboard surface.

This is probably the best advert Arturia could have asked for. I'm pretty much about to throw money at them to buy one even though I don't even play synth (or even make music). The sheer enthusiam and positivity he has is incredibly persuasive.

Stimming you're amazing. Great review yet again. Love my freak but I have learnt more features thanks to your review.

Enjoyed that, especially the jam at the end.

a truly brilliant review, stimmimg. funny, informative & musically exciting. bravo!! & thank you for this.

Wow, great demo! I think that bit at the end just sold me...

very good review, great personality, very sympathetic. everything you could possibly want from a review(er). i just happen to not having fallen in love with that synth but that's also important for a good review so you can decide. great work!

your reviews are amazing. calm, on point. like that very much.

Great review, demo and explanations! Thank you. So many great sounds.

Awesome sounding sequence at the end, musically refreshing! Thanks

I was already sold on this synth months ago. This was just a great demo that got me more excited about getting it!

This synth is one of the coolest and most fun and surprising synths I've had the fortune to play and own. I'm very impressed with this device.

That moment around 14:15 when it automatically recognizes what parameter to use by locking on to the first knob you turn, is actually identical to how it's done in FL Studio for like 15 years or something. I'm glad to see this fine bit of UX transposed to hardware synths.

such a great demo and sounded so damn good throughout tweaking/playing!

Thank you for a fun and comprehensive review of this interesting (& obviously powerful!) little synth. Not 100% sure it’s for me, mainly due to the keyboard, but I think you’ve demonstrated it so well I think it’s going to be hard for me to resist getting one:)

Just bought the korg monologue which introduced me to synths and now I need this badly. That intro sounded so god dam good. Great video

"Very well written manual. Read it guys!" There is always something to take as a life lesson from Stimming

The fact that they have a section in the manual for using the MicroFreak with VCV Rack is something I really appreciate. Great for a n00b like myself :)

Fantastic review/demo! I liked the look of it and thought it may be worth a look NOW it's a must buy for me. I need one of these, DANKE subbed!

WOAH ok at 5:20 when you start comparing the keys and show the fast attack time on the Micro Freak and how fast/responsive it is. This thing can make sounds that are flatout impossible with traditional keys. I'm sold.

Stimming is making this thing do things I had no idea it would do. I have to go back and try harder. Damn man. I love smart people.

Thanks for the great video. Nice work! So excited for mine to be sent out. I'm going to pair it with my Korg Volca Drum.

Another masterpiece from the master himself. November morning FOREVER ❤️

I've been interested in synths for a couple of months, and have been doing a lot of research. Halfway through this video I bought one of these. Great review of what appears to be a great product, and incredibly entertaining to boot.

Very good review, you would have sold it to me if I hadn't just bought it today. Just a few things I'd like to add, the Arpeggiator is pretty cool actually, it has a mode where every time you enter some notes it makes a random sequence out of it (you can set it anywhere between 4 and 64 steps). If you press the same notes again it will generate a new pattern with those notes and keep looping it. The Sequencer is pretty powerful indeed, it's 64 steps and has 4 lanes of automation. (Just scroll through the steps and change the parameter). And Spice and Dice can actually be really cool. It randomizes the Gate amongst others, so if you set Spice high and set the gate time lower there's a bigger chance of notes being skipped. It's also much more interesting with longer sequences in my opinion. It adds a bit of Generativeness to the whole synth. I really like all the little things from Modular Synthesis they put in there, like the plaits osc's, keybed, loads of modulation options and these subtle generative features fit in very well.

You are such a good musician ! I loved the "Chords" part of the presentation - really a deeply moving piece, gott im himmung ! Best regards from Copenhagen,-

I’m not finished with the video but I had to comment. I’m so happy I found this review. I’m educated and entertained already. Thank you. 😁.

So aggravated with you and this channel to be honest. I am suffering with a fever and delirium resulting from your Octatrack video and now full blown GAS attack is compounded with a near catastrophic result! 😉 Much like yourself portability for my set up on stage AND studio is crucial. This seems like a great item to pair w Digitone Digitakt Circuit , MonoStation, and Model. It almost seems Mfreak is to Model in its near knob per functionality as well as minimal menu use. The LFO is a dark screamer! Sine is ethereal. Did you use external Fx w this demo? Peace

Thank you. Got mine today and it is fantastic.

What a legend! (Both the man and the instrument!) Seems like Arturia listened to you - in a firmware update since this video they added the functionality whereby holding Shift changes the knobs much faster. You can also switch it in the settings so that the fast movement is default and holding Shift lets you do the slower, fine-tune adjusts. It's so cool that A) Arturia are able to release updates and improvements for the hardware after it's been released (take that, analogue;), and B) Arturia actually keep releasing updates! Years after its release. I will save up and buy one of these bad bois asap. Thanks for the great video!

This synth seems to me MicroFreak will become what the Juno 60/106 was to so many bands and musician in the 80’s: An inexpensive, easy to program, but wonderful sounding instrument that can be easily transported. Arturia hit the mark on this one.

14:30 DSI synths do the same, imho the best way to set up modulations. Great little synth, I really like the sound of it, and how quick to create very different sounds with it. I'll get one when they release it, at this price point its not even a question.
