Unless you really want/need the hardware version, it’s better/more cost-effective to get the V Collection X that includes the MiniFreak soft-synth and dozens of other soft-synths as well. *
*No S#%* Sherlock. Thank you Captain Obvious.
I have the MicroFreak and love it. It stays permanently connected to my Pro 2.
I got a fantastic deal on the MiniFreak and it’s a great little synthesizer. I think it is also very underestimated as an external FX processor. It’s fun and different in a great way. If you’re tired of the same VA subtractive synthesis methods, I highly recommend checking out this instrument.
I look forward to digging more into my MiniFreak, and this guide looks to be a great source of info.
Thanks for the comment. Hope you like it and get something useful out of it.
