Microfreak/Preset/016 Voidom

• Notes

  • Speech patch with stepped formants and word selection, plus strong expression control of filter brightness.

  • Saved export and provenance

    • Saved export: read from the device’s slot 16 over USB on October 25, 2026 with mise run microfreak:download --slot 16. Two consecutive reads returned the same file, with SHA-256 ef9b2913965642d96dcea1761a09b26a5b216ee675a8df9204aaf5122ddf98ae. See Microfreak/Preset/016 Voidom/Asset/Device-Read-2026-10-25/bin.
    • Its parameter payload matches the September 28, 2026 MIDI Control Center user-bank archive, computer-bank slot 105, file 105-09282026 6h14-A105.mbp. The archive and the device capture have different file envelopes but the same parameter payload, SHA-256 20c1d565dc198f0c3c9ee12981f2a7982aa56ace5c01f4c6489f282a7ec3d1c9.
    • The parameter payload matches Factory 1.1, 2.1, 3.0 and 6.0. This is an archived factory-equivalent baseline; it does not establish the instrument’s saved or unsaved state during a later session.
    • The Factory 1.0 variant has a different pressure-to-cutoff route and is not the same payload.

  • Oscillator

    • Model: Speech. Type chooses formants or a speech library; Timbre shifts formants; Word scans the selected library’s subset.
    • Type: 0.024.
    • Timbre: 0.315.
    • Word: 0.094.

  • Filter

    • Low-pass filter. Saved cutoff: 0.570; resonance: 0.000. Cutoff and resonance are normalized settings, not hertz or instrument display values.

  • Envelopes

    • Main envelope: attack 0.000, decay/release 0.559, sustain 0.299. Amp Mod is on, so the main envelope controls loudness.
    • Cycling Envelope mode: Env. Stored RiseLvl 0.000, FallLvl 0.913, Hold 0.000, Amount 0.953. These are normalized stored fields; rise/fall times in milliseconds remain unverified.

  • LFO

    • Sample-and-Hold; clock sync on. Stored normalized rate: 0.148; division code: 8. The rate is not a hertz reading, and the musical division has not been converted.

  • Modulation matrix

    • Amounts use the signed normalized range −1…+1. The assignment destinations below resolve the saved Assign columns.
    • Cycling Envelope → Wave / Type: +0.198. The envelope moves the Speech formant/library selection.
    • LFO → Timbre: +1.000. Sample-and-Hold steps the speech formants.
    • ENV → Cutoff: +0.059. The main envelope opens the filter slightly.
    • PRESSURE → Cutoff: +0.967. Expression strongly opens the filter.
    • LFO → Assign 1 → Word: −1.000. Sample-and-Hold moves the word/subset selector in the opposite direction.
    • All other saved matrix amounts are zero.

  • Performance and session context

    • The expression input mainly changes brightness. The LFO changes both speech timbre and word selection, while the cycling envelope changes the Type selection. These are saved modulation routes; the recording does not establish every knob movement or the global expression mode.
    • Paraphonic mode is on in the saved export. The PRESSURE matrix row uses pressure or velocity according to the instrument’s global Utility setting; the export does not establish which expression source was used in the session.
    • GitP/A/Session/26/10/22-Thu references this sound.

  • Evidence and interpretation

    • Base controls use normalized 0…1 values unless a stored choice code is shown; matrix amounts use −1…+1. These describe saved base settings, before modulation, and are not OLED percentages, hertz or milliseconds.
    • The saved-parameter inspector preserves the original fields. Oscillator interpretation assumes the documented firmware 5 layout; firmware is not detected from the export.
    • Matrix columns and assignments follow the Freakout live map and assignment decoder. Mode and waveform labels follow the MicroFreak Reader definitions.
    • Microfreak/UG/05 Connections/02 Matrix and Encoder/01 Sources and Destinations explains matrix sources, destinations and the expression row.
