I have no idea how I slept on this odd little synth for a whole year. It’s delicious!

    Rewatching i really appreciate the work you put into these back then. It was really something to look forward to in lockdown.
    Just a random thanks for that, while i revisit for microfreak inspiration!

    Hi Ben, being the technical wizard that you are, I’m hoping you could help me get around a known issues with the microfreak – When i power it off the output jack create a lot of noise (If I use the headphone jack there’s not a problem but it’s a little quieter than the output jack). I’ve read about this problem from others in Arturia’s forums. It’s not a big deal except that when I turn my Canyon delay on or off it triggers that noise for a split second. Very annoying. Getting a three prong adapter make any difference? Any other suggestions? Thank you

    STILL the most fun I've had on a synth for about 20 years…  Its DEF not just a floaty noise box, its a Killer for techno jams as well as some really expressive leads due to the expressive keybed.

    I subscribed about 15 seconds in—Sold! 😆😄👍 LOVE the Loopop mimicry! 🤣 I’ve had this little gem for about 6 months—now on version 4, which allows you to both edit and upload your own wave tables, among other great twicks and tweaks! The mod matrix, and things like poly-after touch and its endlessly creative potential is just insane for $300 bux.
