How to program a classic trance supersaw patch on the Elektron Digitone….

I didn’t realise you could make supersaw with FM synthesis! Algo 8 looks like it might also be a good algorithm for creating analog style basses and leads.

This is a techno construction kit containing 128 analog, FM and digital samples including a wide selection of hard-hitting techno drums and synth sounds (kick, snares, claps, percussion, hats, cymbals, synth basses and synth leads). The samples are formatted in both mono (16-bit, 48kHz) and stereo (24-bit, 48kHz). Enjoy!

Some big news from Arturia who have just released MiniFreak!
The SonicState review is up already…
Looking at the specs… it’s a polyphonic hybrid synth with six voices (including a 12-voice paraphonic mode), two stackable sound engines (offering 20 different synthesis modes), analog filters, 10 built-in stereo effects (with 3 slots) and a 37-note slim keyboard. So quite a bit of a step up from the MicroFreak. It also comes with a free companion like-for-like VST Instrument called MiniFreak V.
This looks really nice. I was always put off by the lack…Read More

I tried to place a preorder on their website but it says out of stock. Have they sold out already or is it not available yet?

I don’t think they’re available yet as none of the retailers appear to have listed them yet.
This is a similar price and size as the Hydrasynth Explorer, which seems to have a much deeper synth engine, but the Minifreak has those SEM analog filters (which do sound really nice). If i was in the market for one, I’m not sure which one I’d go for. Probably the Hydrasynth to be honest.

I just came here to post the loopop review and see it’s already here. I’m seriously GASing for this one. I have the Microfreak, but this new one has effects and it sounds amazing. Plus 6 voices poly, 2 oscillators per voice, 3 octave keybed, and loaded to the gills. I might have to boot something out my setup to free up mixer inputs for this lil ‘freak.

The microfreak never really appealed to me much. Why would you recommend buying this over the Hydrasynth Explorer?

Both the Minifreak and HS Explorer are great synths in their own right, but they have a lot of differences as well. I can’t recommend one over the other, that’s a matter of opinion. (For the record, I have a Hydrasynth Deluxe and a Microfreak, neither can replace the other).
Both are sound designer dream synths: the Freaks with their many digital oscillator options, and the Hydrasynths with their many wavetable waveforms, mutants and filter options. Both have powerful mod matrices, decent to great effects (I think Arturia wins in the effects dept).
IMHO the biggest miss on the…Read More

Thanks for the review. I’m leaning towards the Hydrasynth Explorer for the Poly AT. From what I gather the Minifreak doesn’t have this even over midi.

Someone on Gearspace says the MnF does respond to poly AT over midi. He’s using the Microfreak to control it.

Using Algorithm 8 you can set Operator B to a Saw by setting the feedback to 60. You can then set Operator C to a Saw by setting the Harmonics to -7.00, then set the Level of Operator A to 70. Now you have two saw waves you can set the cross fader in the middle and then detune Operators C and B set at around 50.
You can add an additional sub oscillator (Sine) by lowering the ratio of Operator B to 1.00/0.50. Now adjust the Amp Env to add some release, and add some envelope modulation to the filter.
Copy this track to all 4 tracks. Now on the voice setting page Layer all 4 tracks so…Read More
