wow. I just clicked on this because I'm interested in the microfreak and Im suuuuupernew to making music, haven't even bought my first synth yet. And hearing you explaining what one is able to do with the sound, how to use it, even though I probably understood less than half almost made me cry a couple of times because it's so amazingly beautiful. I'm in awe of how we are able to create with sound in this way. Thank you so much for this video!

WOW! Rn I'm just in the EXACT SAME spot as you described here, 2 years ago! Started pretty recently on music, but I noticed that I'm SUPER interested on what you can do with SOUNDS in general nowadays, and synths kinda comes close from what I wish I could do. I've been searching a little bit, and Microfreak seems a pretty good option for a dumb beginner as me, but with SO MUCH potential to unfold over time, and in a pretty decent price ;) I would like to know about your experience (if you started in this world of synths and production), because, as anything else in this world, it seems like there's A LOT to learn and to experiment, just that I'm actually kinda intrigued in this little world of big sounds :D

Good video, the microfreak is cool but I wouldn't have done a video on types of synthesis to show its features and use some modules to fill in the gaps, I know this is to showcase the microfreaks features there's a lot more to different types of synthesis than what is shown here, I'd rather watch a video series where you guys show different types of synthesis using iconic synths that you sell on reverb where you take time to explain what is really happening instead of this video just basically trying to sell the microfreak to viewers.

Since when were the early DX’s/DX-7 preset synths? Even the PSS570 has a modifiable synth section! Great video otherwise. Back in the day we knew that to sound interesting and not like everyone else with the same synth, we’d have to spend months learning and years honing our sound with a give you synth or synthesis type. Lots of producers used presets because, well, they weren’t synthesists(!) but the DX7 is still a deeply interesting synthesiser today, but you do need a lot of time (largely not an issue back then because most people owned 2 synths tops, and no computer), or a very good visual editor

OMG. The MicroFreak is nothing more than a (digital) wavetable synth with some common modulation options. Yes, it uses subtractive methods, but so do all wavetable synths, and the source oscillators are all digital. Are some "analog modeled"? Ok. Yes. Great. As for FM?! Wow! FM as a CONCEPT is little more than an LFO. The magic of FM comes from complex multi- operator synths with complex algorithms. To say that there's real FM in the MicroFreak is like saying that there's real analog in a JP-8000. Vector synthesis? Come on! Morphing wavetables using 2 dimensional control isn't vector synthesis. The Wavestation, for example, literally transformed digital waveforms in real time NOT using tables. PCM sample manipulation? Ok. Not wavetable. Physical modeling? Please! Start with Karplus- Strong (which isn't here) and you begin to see PM. Sample based? Ok. Sure. But, in reality, at a wave level, wavetable IS sample based synthesis... Therefore, for a short duration, most wavetable synths technically ARE granular...but nobody calls the Blofeld a "granular" synth? Lol! Lastly, I won't even comment on WC other than to say that wavefolding ≠ WC synthesis any more than LP filters = "subtractive". Nice way to sell MicroFreaks, but hardly an honest depiction of synthesis architectures.
