15-The Arturia MicroFreak- The Matrix Part 1 

Also MF is lowest cost polyphonic aftertouch/pressure keyboard controller on marker. Of course it has it's limits (2 octave, capasitive) but the next up is (AFAIK) AMS hydrasynth and that's a lot more. One mistake many make with MF is demo Poly AT with analog filter, which is Mono, missing the point. There are so many other modulation destinations that work much better.

i guess Im asking randomly but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!

@Silas Brooks instablaster ;)

@Silas Zayne I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

@Silas Zayne It worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much you really help me out!

@Silas Brooks happy to help :D

Thank you!

Haha have fun man! I got mine a week ago and have been trudging through these videos before I hop back in!

I am so thankful for Arturia’s instruments.

I have from them the microfreak, microbrute and pigments

It's just CV/gate and pressure, where pressure is a single continuous value that works like channel (mono) aftertouch. As far as I can tell, if you're pressing multiple keys at the same time, it outputs the highest pressure value.

It's not electrical tape, it's some protective thing put on at the company that I neglected to take off

@@automaticgainsay oh hahahahahahahaha i seee lol

Does intensity mean the amount of the matrix modification to a parameter? Lol I'm sorry it is hard to understand where these "points" apply to

As far as I can tell it does not use key priority, and just sends the highest value (in other words, max, not sum) as channel (mono) pressure. It also outputs polyphonic pressure, if your DAW/environment supports it. My primary DAW (Ableton Live) doesn't, but I was able to record the poly AT output in Logic Pro.

@@st0rmchild Ahh, thank you!

you can assign any patchpoint on the matrix as modulation destination. that means you can modulate its modulation depth via any of the control signals

@@ZerryLeppenz Good to know. Thanks!

(I'm not Marc, and I don't use a mixer, but…) it's mono, so in my case I use a 1/4" TRS cable to connect it to a single input on my audio interface. Most studio mixers have mono channels, but if you're dealing with one that only has stereo channels, it might still let you connect a single mono input to the left side and automatically turn that into "stereo". Otherwise yeah, you'll want to use a 1/4" TRS mono to split TS (any connector, but probably 1/4" or RCA). The only time I split it out to stereo is when I'm using it standalone, in which case I run it through a Korg NTS-1 to add effects. The input on that is stereo only, so I go from 1/4" TS mono to 1/8" TRS stereo, which just duplicates the signal on both channels (a bit of an unusual cable, but TRS at both ends wouldn't work, since the MicroFreak 1/4" output is TRS balanced and uses the extra contact for ground). The MicroFreak also has a "stereo" headphone output. The only problem with it is it can be quite noisy, depending on how you're powering the MicroFreak.

Take a look at ASM Hydrasynth

@@SampathHebbar Ive seen it, it sounds really good. Ill look at the pdf on it. One thing I like about Eurorack is modules build upwards instead of horizontally. Just starting in that area but it does take MUCH less space then synths.

I'd love a 49 or 61 key version.

alphabeets It can actually get a lot more intense than what you’ve heard here. Nothing against Mr. Doty. He makes awesome tutorials!

Pressure sensitivity is adjustable, and the setting makes a really big difference. It also takes a bit of practice to get used to it. I had trouble with it at first. After increasing the sensitivity to max and spending a bunch of time with it, I find it responds pretty consistently now.

Actually now that I hear the part you're talking about, I think that was a bug that got fixed in a firmware update. It was never that jumpy/random for me.

Hi, I’m Automatic Gainsay. Welcome to my channel! I typically demonstrate analog synths. I’ve played and owned and had access to some of the best synthesizers in history. My goal is to help people understand the sound and functionality of any synth I demonstrate... and if I demonstrate a synth, it’s because it is something with inherent musical, performance, historical, or synthesis-based benefit. So, whether or not this LOOKS like a toy, it is a powerful and great-sounding synth... perhaps you should watch all of the videos I made to see why! Thanks!

Definitely not a toy. It looks different, but the build quality and immense potential is just insane. You're missing out if you judge this thing just by how it looks. (Also it looks awesome too, so I don't know what else to say.)
