My Minifreak arrived last night; I haven't had a lot of time to play with it, yet, but just toying with presets and some basic filter tampering, I'm feeling a bit inspired. This hasn't happened in a looong time. I can't wait to get into the nuts and bolts. Once I'm pretty deepy into it, I'll be looking to pick up an ASM, because I love everything I've heard from those, as well.

@Observe-n-Learn Год назад

If you just got it and haven't spent a lot of time with it, this qualifies you to make a video about it.

@llRoBoBinHoll 26 дней назад

Keep in mind that the synths are also played by two different musicians. The guest keyboard player plays some really tight rhythmic stuff and some very inspired harmonies. You cannot simply accredit everything about what you’re hearing to the synths.

I get why Dan chose those patches , with headphones they all add about 30% depth of awesome . I'm torn , these are both amazing and well within my tax return :P You guys both did great in this video , but you didn't make my choice even a little bit easier .

@ICanFixThat2 Год назад

EPIC! love the vid! thanks guys... I got both (also HS DeLuxe 2.0). Only thing I can say some of us should be called the "cat lady" of the synths... whish I could have them ALL!

@dankeplace Год назад

2 mates having some fun, nothing wrong with smiles on the dials. An Osmose on both would be great, for people starting out, I would suggest getting either, or both as they're diff synths. I had the HS and it just never fit into my mixes, not to say it cannot do what it can, cheapest PAT keybed synth out there too and runs on batteries. Thx boys.

@peterhanzo8230 Год назад

I would like to buy a synthesizer someday. I have listened to many types and for a long time my favorite was Korg Radias until I came across ASM Hydrasynth, which is a brighter version of Radias in my opinion. I wouldn't look down on Minifreak either, but Hydra has already wrapped its heads around me. Thanks for the duel.

@hal7112 Год назад

the minifreak is all sweetspots that are easy to dial in for beginners. but the hydra is a real sound design monster that can sound as awful or sweet as you make it sound. the presets are based on presets of other synths to show you it's really a blank digital canvass to take in whatever direction you want

@krisrhodes5180 Год назад

"the minifreak is all sweetspots that are easy to dial in for beginners." You shut your mouth. You shut your filthy mouth. Okay goddammit you're right.

@LightboxX Год назад

minifreak is super deep as well. it can be a preset machine for beginners, but's also a serious deep dive into an incredible amount of synth engines and filter/modulation algorithms with a surprisingly deep mod matrix. i think they're both impressive in terms of synthesis but the minifreak's approach and it's included vst are way more simple to get the most out of.

@HOLLASOUNDS Год назад

They are both very good small sythersizors, it's nice to have a small sythersizor just to pick up and mess around with. Minifreak being the newest in a line started with the Korg Microkorg, then Novation MiniNova and then a whole lot of them coming from multiple brands. Seems every brand is making sure to have a mini sythersizor on the market.

@PTMPTM Год назад

I don't think the freak is really in the same lane as those two, it doesn't really do the same things

@obshaky Год назад

I want both so my approach will be to get the 49-key version of the Hydra with the poly aftertouch and the full-length ribbon controller that do Pitch , Mod and Theremin. THEN get the VST version of Minifreak and midi control it with the Hydra. I feel Pigments would be close to what a bigger freak might be but with enhanced controls so I expect it to have touch screens, more shortcut/dedicated buttons (or those m1, m2, m3 etc buttons to put your own macros) and deep integration with Arturia's excellent VST collection. ASM cut the price of the Hydra's by Black Friday and Arturia do VST sales like twice a year.

@MatsueMusic Год назад

Neat approach. I would like to ask you a question: If for instance both instruments were arpeggiating and you wanted to control both their filter cut off in a live setting, how would you go about doing that?

@obshaky Год назад

@@MatsueMusic Hi! In a live setting for both hardware and vst I'd have the Hydra and Freak sequenced and midi controlled by Ableton Push 2. Since the Hydra does not have a sequequencer and anyway I'd need Live for the Freak vst. Just midi both filters to a shift function in Push or perhaps both with a single knob or one or another to the Hydra ribbon controller at different para meters depending on track. Cheers!

@kendallcurtis7863 9 месяцев назад

Here's my big question: can the hydrasynth be used to make a patch like Dan's fourth (Flickers)? So many people say hydrasynth can be used to make emulate most other synths. If so, can it make flickers with all of its complexity? If it can, I'm sold. Because I bet there are a lot of patches on hydrasynth that minifreak can't make. Or am I wrong on this?

Love them both but Microfreak has the edge I think. And damn Dan Bingerz can play! (Not based on this video alone). Love Jack's playing as well 😁 Hoping Arturia will release a larger version of the "freak" series... kind of like their Polybrute, only in the freak series. Really loved the video where Jack hooked the minifreak up to the Osmose as well... Damn that sounded great.

@GertBoers Год назад

@@danbocook What firmware version are you on? (I believe it's System, last page.) The sounds from version 1.5.4 were improved on the previous versions. You might wanna upgrade the firmware. In case you didn't know, last week version 2.0 came out! And don't forget to backup your sounds first!

@danbocook Год назад

Figured it out, weird glitch in the Hydra (somehow everything was being wobbly as if the mods were all out of control), restart fixed it

@danbocook Год назад

@@GertBoers I'm, on 2.0 -- I just restarted the unit and it was fixed. Hard to explain, but essentially all lfo's and any looping envelopes were stuck at a high bpm making everything wobble and warble...it was horrible! Haha!

@MosEisleySpacePort1138 Год назад

How do you avoid the Blade Titles patch on the Hydra? It’s almost impossible. I commend him for showing restraint. For that one and Sawpressive. As for MiniFreak, I thought its best patches were 4 and 5 here.

@randommcranderson5155 Год назад

honestly neither of these synths are well described by going through presets - they both have some good ones but they both can do so much better too. This is more about the sound design the oems paid for or did than the actual synths themselves.

@e-conrecords4665 Год назад

Both lovely synths but by every objective metric, the Hydrasynth is a deeper, more powerful synthesizer.

@Motownisyourtown 2 месяца назад

It is, but for many that will be restrictive. The Arturia just seems easier to use and has it's own deepness which is easier to access. The Arturia sounds better in this video in any case.

@X22GJP Месяц назад

Every? Bit bold, but let’s say you are right…that doesn’t make it better. Both can sound similar, but their interfaces are vastly different. The hydra is great for those who love getting into deep sound design, whereas the mini just invites you to tweak and have fun. Each unto their own.

This is - another of many - cool video to show the progress and innovation in the rapidly evolving keyboard scene ... so much fun to watch The keyboard scene seems to be accepting new stuff/technology/invention quite well 👍 I evolved in a more traditional bass/guitar world with very little acceptance of new stuff We all know these "Gold Top only and a history correct amp too"-cork-sniffers and i truly h... em With money being an issue i started with a Volca and luckily came across the MicroFreak: an affordable tone and feature monster .,..

The patches chosen for the mini freak are not the best representation.

@Matthewsavant 4 месяца назад

The hydrasynth blows the minifreak out of the water, hydrasynth is one of the most feature rich synths on the market, it even stands up against the virus ti. The freaks architecture is just based off of mutable instruments plaits while it’s very nice in its own right it’s very lacking

@Kevinjames0976 3 месяца назад

That is a subjective statement, I have both they are 2 different synths that have a different approach on sound design. The Minifreak is really fun to sound design and having sequencer built in the minifreak is nice for creative live content. The macros that are assignable makes the minifreak great for live use. The Hydra other hand is not as intuitive and definitely not designed for live use. It has a very deep range of customization for sound design but not as enjoyable and can be very frustrating due to not have a true plugin editor software. The hydrasynth has a better poly aftertouch that stands out over most.

@LarryLobo Месяц назад

Sound wise the Hydra is not even close to the Minifreak.

@X22GJP Месяц назад

True, it’s leagues ahead! All joking aside, they both have their place, their relative strengths and their weaknesses. Depends what you are looking for. Personally I’d rather have the immediacy and intuitive nature of the Minifreak. They Hydra suffers from a cut down version of an already non intuitive interface, but it repays you with Poly AT and some incredible sounds if you put the time in. Mind you, just hook up a Poly AT MIDI controller to the MF and you get the best of both worlds.
