Microfreak/Preset/138 Metallic Talk

• Notes

  • Saved export and provenance

    • Saved export: read from the device's slot 138 over USB on October 25, 2026 with mise run microfreak:download --slot 138. 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 114, Factory 2.1 slot 216, Factory 3.0 slot 216, Factory 6.0 slot 185). Comparison used mise run microfreak:compare.
    • Download the slot 138 capture. It is the raw device format (header plus data packets), not an .mbp file; see Microfreak/Preset/138 Metallic Talk/Asset/Device-Read-2026-10-25/bin.

  • Oscillator

    • Model: Speech. Microfreak/UG/06 Dig Osc/03 Types/11 Speech
    • Type: 0.247. Timbre: 0.180. Word: 0.228.
    • Keyboard octave: -2. Glide: 0.000.

  • Filter

    • Low-pass filter. Saved cutoff: 0.926; resonance: 0.555. Microfreak/UG/07 Filter/01 Modifying Sound/01 Low Pass Filter

  • Envelopes

    • Main envelope: attack 0.035, decay/release 0.398, sustain 1.000. Amp Mod is on, so the main envelope controls loudness. Microfreak/UG/09 Envelope Gen/03 Envelope Stages
    • Cycling Envelope mode: Run. Stored RiseLvl 0.210, RiseSlp 0.500, FallLvl 0.323, FallSlp 0.500, Hold 0.308, Amount 0.306. Microfreak/UG/09 Envelope Gen/06 Cycling Envelope

  • LFO

    • Sample-and-Hold Filtered, clock sync on; stored division code: 10. 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
    • Cycling Envelope → Timbre: +1.000.
    • ENV → Cutoff: +0.386.
    • LFO → Cutoff: −0.771.
    • LFO → Assign 1 → Word: +1.000.
    • PRESSURE → Assign 2 → Arp/Seq Rate: +0.254.
    • PRESSURE → Assign 3 → Filter Resonance: +0.355.
    • All other saved matrix amounts are zero.

  • Voice and keyboard

    • Paraphonic mode: off.

  • Performance and session context

    • Hold a note while the cycling envelope moves speech formants and the filtered random LFO changes Word and pulls the low-pass cutoff downward. These saved routes couple changing syllables with changing brightness. Microfreak/UG/06 Dig Osc/03 Types/11 Speech
    • Expression raises filter resonance and the Arp/Seq Rate assignment. The rate route affects note repetition when the arpeggiator or sequencer is running; its presence alone does not establish that either was active in a performance. Microfreak/UG/05 Connections/02 Matrix and Encoder/01 Sources and Destinations
    • The October 25 capture establishes the saved factory baseline. Later knob movements, transport state and the global pressure-or-velocity choice remain unobserved by this export.

  • 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.
