ARTURIA MICROFREAK VOCODER: First Look & Walkthrough!
Awesome Video! Just wondering about where you collected the "SXW" sample bank from
Great! I updated Polybrute but don t fond the new presets. What did I do wrong? Thanks!
Which firmware version does your Polybrute have?
@@XanderEwald the last one.
Can you tap/trigger and hold, as some audio fix require?
This is so fire.
Do you think it will work with iPad Pro and Logic ? Great content by the way.
its ridiculous we live in 2024 and we cannot just plug in and play with our daws and outside hardware/software. Literally just companies being pathetic and petty.
I like their aesthetic. It's very modern, sleek, and fun.
I was interested in this thinking it was the Komplete 14 bundle but for a monthly subscription instead of an all upfront price….buuut no it’s almost entirely ‘ROMplers’ in other words just sample based VSTs with very limited control over them. That may be useful for beginners or people that don’t want to create their own sounds but for musicians, sound designers and audio engineers there are very few useful plug ins in this. Massive X, guitar rig, Ozone and a few FX (reverb, delay, EQ, Compressor) they’re asking $25 a month for this and it is really not worth it at all
Great vocoder demo! Finally one I really 👍
Does it work with Cubase 13 ?
Power!!!
Thank you for this. I really struggle with Akai MPK Mini key bed. It feels so flimsy and it's hard capture the feeling of playing a decent keyboard. Very different than, say, a Moog. Wondering the tactile experience with this Arturia. thanks!
In my eyes, Arturia keybeds are in a different league and much better than Akai.
It worth even only for Tempo find!!!
This was the most easy to understand tutorial on compression I have found, thanks and subscribed!
I wanted to buy a hardware synth but pigments basically sounds like what i want. However, im a big hardware person, which midi con troller do you think does best to control and sound design on pigments?
Does it work with garageband
Don’t buy this POS! It doesn’t integrate with your standalone gear out of the box. You have to map everything and it nearly impossible. You have to map this pos to your computer software as well. Downloading the software takes at least 45min on a M2 Mac because it’s downloading entering codes. Then downloading again, creating a Ilok account to get passcodes to unlock your plugins, installing all this sht. It’s a mess. Just the fact you have to use MPC Beats instead of your normal MPC software should tell you something. That’s taking up extra space on your hard drive for no reason other than the fact they don’t know how to integrate them both. Get yourself a KeyStep Pro and thank me later.
You mind sharing the presets you used on the DX7 and SH101?
What can i do with the latency? I mean when I want to record/loop keys, synths but Insbesondere the drums...so when I hit the button its has a latency and I can't do it fast and accurantly! Pls help!
great and helpful material, thanks. What type of computer do you use for production? I tried to work on abl live11 with win7 16gb ram 4 cores but audio dropouts appear.😅
hello, my question is a bit urgent, not sure of anyone knows if firmware 5 (granular sampler) can be done on the vocoder edition?
They are identical, just different colors.
Alexander, thank you so much for this informative video on the Arturia Minilab 3. I was wondering if you might be able to do a video showing how to setup the Minilab 3 for use with Pigments which would be a great benefit to your subscribers?
Hello 🙃 i m sorry i am french so i don’t understand if the sounds in Ableton live that we are hearing in the video are the sounds of the analog rythm or the sounds of Ableton ?

Having trouble getting the second method to work. I can really only get the Rytm to control the drum kit in Ableton when I have the Rytm set to overbridge. Even then it will only control one pad within Ableton, so all 12 pads on Rytm control one pad within Ableton . Ive played around with different ways of doing this and can't figure out why this is happening..
Hey bro are the pads on Launchkey mk3 and launchpad x are same right i mean the feel and material any changes ?
I have launchkey 49 and the pads feel very similar to my launchpad x. I actually really like it's simplicity and the 8x8 layout compared to the fiasco I went through with a maschine mk3. I hate that thing with a passion
Will there ever be a play (standalone) version of this model? That would be awesome in my opinion
For sure! But you know Akai. They hate their customers.
Does it has good integration with logic pro? I am a new in djing and production and have bought logic pro becouse i love its design and simpleness. Hope you reply becouse i am considering buying this launchpad. Nice review btw. Very helpful.
Couldn't say, I don't use it with Logic so far.
Very thorough review...can't believe you don't have 100+k subs!
great video! know if that vcv rack connect still works? i can't find it anywhere? or is it only available when you buy the wave? thanks!
I don't use VCV Rack, so I can't really help you there.
Gorgeous demo. I forgot I had this thing.
You come across much more aggressive and nasty on GS forum
I’m not on GS forum or any other forum. There is a guy with mental health issues that has been pretending to be me spreading nasty comments on various synth forums and websites.
Nice review man! Danke
Sounds awesome and that aesthetic is impeccable as always.
Groovy
a tutorial or a gear review? pick one
The good thing about having a channel is you can do whatever you want ;)
Are you sure about 1.7? Current Digitakt firmware is 1.51
Thanks for the pointer, I probably mixed up firmware versions of different Elektron boxes.
another useless plugin
Another useful comment.
Thank you for the review. Can you talk more about the DAW integration, especially for “low budget“ on iPads (like GarageBand)? I just get the Minilab3 and played around with different solutions (Logic Pro, GarageBand, SynthOne, … etc.) and it seems that GarageBand has not integrated the MCU / HUI protocols completely. So, long story short: in my opinion the Minilab3 is a low cost MIDI controller for upper class DAWs if you want using the knobs and slider of the Minilab, but in low cost DAWs it’s not possible. I guess it’s the same problem with all midi controllers if you want to use them in low cost DAWs like GarageBand and you have to purchase Logic Pro or other.
I don't use iPad to make music, so I can't really say anything about it.
Wished I had this kind of tutorial 20yrs ago 😂
Anyone know how to change the pad sensitivity? The MPC beats program won’t let me change it, it seems to be greyed out.
I guess if you didn't have an analog synth like the Moog Subharmonicon lying around, you could always get the initial oscillator sound by using one of the DT's factory-provided single-cycle waveforms.
Absolutley, every sound will do.
This is the ideal way to show how to use a plug-in. Rather than list all the features and say what they do (ie basically paraphrase the manual), show cool practical examples of what you can do with the plug-in and along the way how all it’s features get used to achieve these ends. I wish more people would adopt this format. This is way better than the instructional videos Arturia makes (they should hire you to do a series of these).
I got this and it sounds out of tune with other instruments. Is that normal?
Not really. Check your pitch wheel maybe?
Thanks
Akai really should combine this and the MPK Mini Play. that would make a quite decent standalone instrument for beginners, IMO.
How are you finding the latest firmware update?
I did not have the time to check it out yet, but I hear good things.
So the SCS changes the effect of the entire compressor and targets just one destination when picking any track other than LR?
One plugin delay and may be so creative use !
