If, like me, you grew up listening to artists such as Boards of Canada, Casino Versus Japan and Tycho, these patches are a love letter to that world of sound: hazy, fluttering and noisy, with plenty of old-school character beneath their relative simplicity.
This is my second time owning a MiniFreak. The first time around, it found itself competing with my Hydrasynth, and I couldn’t quite justify keeping both. Sometimes, though, it’s worth returning to something that first caught your attention and taking the time to explore it properly.
Every patch includes Modwheel variation to introduce additional movement and character.
Use Arturia’s MiniFreak software tools to import the presets and transfer them to the hardware or software instrument.
