Microfreak/Preset/123 TaBass

• Notes

  • Saved export and provenance

    • On October 27, 2026, two further read-only USB downloads of saved slot 123 returned identical slot-123.bin files, matching the October 25 export and this page’s file and parameter-payload SHA-256 values. The download protocol reads saved memory without selecting the preset.
    • Saved export: read from the device's slot 123 over USB on October 25, 2026 with mise run microfreak:download --slot 123. Two consecutive reads returned the same file.
    • The parameter payload matches the MIDI Control Center archives Factory 2.0, Factory 2.1, Factory 3.0, Factory 6.0 (Factory 2.0 slot 100, Factory 2.1 slot 202, Factory 3.0 slot 202, Factory 6.0 slot 347). Comparison used mise run microfreak:compare.
    • Download the slot 123 capture. It is the raw device format (header plus data packets), not an .mbp file; see Microfreak/Preset/123 TaBass/Asset/Device-Read-2026-10-25/bin.
    • Download the October 27 TaBass preset export. The .mfpz export preserves the captured saved sound; mise run microfreak:compare found the same payload as the raw capture. See GitP/A/Session/26/10/26-Mon/Asset/Preset/123-TaBass/mfpz for format provenance and restoration limits.

  • Oscillator

    • Model: V.Analog. Microfreak/UG/06 Dig Osc/03 Types/06 VAnalog
    • Detune: 0.655. Shape: 0.440. Wave: 0.316.
    • Keyboard octave: 0. Glide: 0.164.
    • With V.Analog, the panel's Wave knob sets Detune between the two waves, Timbre sets Shape, a variable square from narrow pulse through full square to hard-sync formants, and Shape sets Wave, a variable saw from triangle to sawtooth. Microfreak/UG/06 Dig Osc/03 Types/06 VAnalog

  • Filter

    • Low-pass filter. Saved cutoff: 0.106; resonance: 0.288. Microfreak/UG/07 Filter/01 Modifying Sound/01 Low Pass Filter

  • Envelopes

    • Main envelope: attack 0.067, decay/release 0.254, sustain 0.366. Amp Mod is on, so the main envelope controls loudness. Microfreak/UG/09 Envelope Gen/03 Envelope Stages
    • Cycling Envelope mode: Loop. Stored RiseLvl 0.239, RiseSlp 0.500, FallLvl 0.262, FallSlp 0.500, Hold 0.000, Amount 0.886. Microfreak/UG/09 Envelope Gen/06 Cycling Envelope

  • LFO

    • Sine, clock sync off; stored normalized rate: 0.000. Microfreak/UG/08 LFO/01 LFO Shape · Microfreak/UG/08 LFO/02 LFO Rate

  • Modulation matrix

    • Amounts use the signed normalized range −1…+1. Microfreak/UG/05 Connections/02 Matrix and Encoder/01 Sources and Destinations
    • ENV → Wave: −0.778.
    • ENV → Timbre: −0.246.
    • PRESSURE → Timbre: +0.270.
    • ENV → Cutoff: +0.637.
    • LFO → Cutoff: +0.036.
    • All other saved matrix amounts are zero.

  • Voice and keyboard

    • Paraphonic mode: off.

  • Performance and session context

    • Play single notes low on the keyboard. Each note starts a short main-envelope pluck that opens the low-pass filter and, through the negative ENV → Wave route, pulls the waveform and timbre on the attack. The looping Cycling Envelope at high amount adds a repeating pulse, and the small glide joins legato notes. Pressure brightens the timbre.

    • TaBass enters at 12:55 in GitP/A/Session/26/10/26-Mon, where codekiln called it “a little thumper.” The recorded MIDI has no controller changes until 14:05, so the entrance likely plays close to the saved settings; the saved capture does not show later unsaved edits.

  • Evidence and interpretation

    • Values describe saved base settings before modulation. Controls use normalized 0…1 values unless a stored choice code is shown; they 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 assignments follow the Freakout live map. Mode, LFO shape, filter type and octave labels follow the MicroFreak Reader definitions.
