I've been super interested in the MicroFreak since it came out, but never quite pulled the trigger to actually purchase one. Rumor has it that a second edition is imminent, which also includes a Vocoder.
I'm pumped!
EDIT:
Turns out all it needs is a firmware update, so if you have an existing MicroFreak, all you need is a mic!
these go for pretty cheap secondhand!
It's such a cool little device. Might save the few bucks and pick up an OG unit on craigslist.
im no hater, i like the cheap robin hood type synth companies🎹🎚🎛🎶
the only thing is... depending on yr set of ethics, i think it has a mutable instruments (or some other smallish synth company) open source engine for at least part of the machine. ... they got a little flack about it...not quite behringer level
still a cool piece, although I've never played one or seen one in person
I have one micro freak and this is a cool news to me because I use vocoders all the time. I might try this right now. btw I like your art on nftshowroom!
That's awesome! I have a MiniNova which has a vocoder, but I haven't quite dove into it yet!
Also, thanks! Just getting back into drawing lately. I like your art, too!
I just got it to work a second ago!!!! I updated software and I needed the right adapter. I usually used the micro-korg for vocoder but really glad I have a new option. Thanks.
So cool!! If you're cool with it, would love to hear what your thoughts are once you have had time to play with it a bit! I might be looking to purchase one now....
Also, feel free to join the Synthesizers group! I'm hoping to have more discourse like this and bring synthesizer topics to life on Hive!
