Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Arturia MiniFreak. Is this hybrid digital and analog synthesizer the long-awaited superfreak? Is it more powerful than its little sibling, the Arturia MicroFreak and can it compete with the other synths in this pricerange like the Korg Minilogue XD, Modal Argon and Hydrasynth Explorer?
Thanks to Tom of Synth Anatomy for lending me another instrument from his collection!!!

@bardofrings1371 10 месяцев назад

It’s my first polyphonic hardware synthesizer btw! For someone mostly working with VST’s up till now, it is a great way to step out of “the box”, and experience how intuitive a deficated hardware interface can be, without losing the flexibilty of digital synthesis. My next one will probably be the Korg Minilogue XD, or a (second hand) Prologue, to finally dive deeper into “true” polyphonic analogue synthesis (the PolyBrute remains out of my budget for now, unfortunately). Have you looked into the Prologue already? Should be an interesting piece of gear for your channel as well. ;)

I didn't expect to like it that much but I decided to buy it right away and the guy from the store said they were selling like hot cakes. I didn't have trouble believing him !

ASM has the benefit of being 100% Chinese, no? All other companies have their engineers, researchers, and other staff outside of China, even if all their products are made in China. Still, The Hydrasynth Explorer may be what helps push development of more poly AT keybeds at lower prices.

I still say this is the working class person's Buchla Music Easel. A whole sonic ecosystem with an inexhaustable supply of terrain to explore.

I bought this as a gift for a friend and had a chance to play with it (and also with the VST). I believe this is a very competent little synth, there is lot to like in it. Very easy to make sense of the synth engines (esp in the VST, which has a few screens :D), compact size and very nice mini keys that are actually playable (unlike the Korg Wavestate, with full size but unplayable keybed). I would consider buying one for me, but I can't justify the use. Your demo was amazing BTW!

Thanx for yet another awesome episode Florian. The _microfreak is tempting, but at this price point I can get the whole mini keys experience with the hydrasynth explorer - which would be my first choice. Btw, that movie behind the 3rd jam, looked out there. Love, from Down Under.

One fun trick I've found with my Minifreak is to use it as a controller for the VST version but pipe the hardware synth audio in to my computer aux in, really fattens up some of the sounds running them in parallel. But I have found one patch that the hardware and the VST handle differently enough that it's just clashing jangle. Great video Florian!
