      • Announces that Elektroid, a FLOSS Elektron Transfer alternative for Linux, now supports the Microfreak for presets, samples, and wavetables — equivalent to what MIDI Control Center offers.
      • Notes occasional issues with lengthy samples but otherwise stable operation; invites bug reports and feature requests via GitHub. Mentions existing MicroBrute support as prior art.

      • Congratulates the developer on reverse-engineering the full MicroFreak preset serialisation and MIDI communication.
      • Notes that the MiniFreak (a different, newer instrument) no longer uses MIDI for configuration and data transfer, so the same approach can't extend there.

      • Asks whether a full MicroFreak reset exists without reflashing firmware, suspecting corrupted sample data behind their technical issues.

      • Replies that no sample-memory erase exists other than erasing all samples through MCC; offers further detail by private message.
