I'm definitely not a piano player, I like experimental music more than I like mainstream, but this just sounds harsh and any demo I've heard seems to be trance/dance oriented. Not my kind of thing. No interesting soundscape/pad demos, or things I've never heard before? I made 260 patches on the thing that are decidedly NOT trance/dance. So I wouldn't write off a synth just because it ships with crap presets. The capacitive aftertouch, mod matrix, and variety of synthesis models (virtual analog, FM, wavetable, etc.) definitely make it a great synth for experimental sounds. It's really fun. For ambient pads and soundscapes you'll probably want to pair it with a nice reverb or delay, since it doesn't have any built-in effects. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan_evett Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Revisiting the 'Thread that will not die' . Turns out I had couple hundred dollar+ credit with GC of which I wasn't aware, and it was about to be turned over to the state as 'unclaimed property'. So I found a mint condition used MicroFreak on their site; and for $72 additional, it's on the way to my local GC. Now to find a relatively inexpensive FX pedal that has at least delay...

Mighty Motif Max Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Had the chance to play one of these guys at GC a few weeks back. It's surprisingly fun to play, if a little different feeling. Sounds pretty good too.
