Why Does the Arturia Minifreak Sound So Good? (Sound Demo, No Talking)

Музыка

Let's explore some of the sonic capabilities of Arturia's Minifreak hybrid digital/analog synthesizer.
Building on the platform of the ever-popular MicroFreak, Arturia's new MiniFreak is an expanded, polyphonic version of the original-packing in a host of new features coupled with a traditional mini keybed. With two oscillator engines per voice, expanded effect options, and loads of polyphonic options, Minifreak is an astonishing value.

    I guess because of the great oscillators, filters and effects. This is literally the perfect synth. Believe the hype

    Thanks for this video. It is fantastic. It was the last push I needed and I just got mine two days ago. However, I can't get my Mac &/or Arturia's Midi Control Center to recognize the minifreak. The MCC does not even display the minifreak in it's list of products so I can't upgrade the firmware and within Logic it says "The firmware must be updated". Any chance you encountered a similar issues and may have some pointers. (I've yet to hear from Arturia's support team)

    Hopefully, eventually. Saw an interview with the product manager who explained that some of the synth engines on the Microfreak needed to be rethought/rewritten to work well on the Minifreak which is why they’re missing right now but will return. Seeing how well the Microfreak has been updated I can’t imagine them not doing the same for the Microfreak.

    That’s more of a “system issue” - try putting your laptop thru real speakers. I record ALL VST sounds thru an amplifier, using a microphone. FIRST. That way I get the exact sound in my head, because I grew up hearing everything but drums thru an amp first. I used a Fender Twin for a vocal p.a. more times than I used ACTUAL p.a.’s in the first 20 years of making music in a band. If I was to use these sounds live, they’d be going thru an amplifier. So why not record them the say way I’d use them live?

    Yeah, some of the synth engines from the Microfreak needed to be rewritten to work on the Minifreak which is why they’re currently missing. As a software engineer that tells me the architecture is different, enough to need actual code changes.

    Sure, but still sounds squeezed. I don't know how that circuit is build up. It's like all the bad parts of digital synths in the past with analog control? Constrained/ squeezed were the best words I could come up with. In your words; the enveloipe does it's thing, but it sounds flat. I can't feel the envelope in the room, I only hear it.
