Microfreak/Preset/260 8bitfi

• Notes

  • Saved export and provenance

    • Saved export: read from the device's slot 260 over USB on October 25, 2026 with mise run microfreak:download --slot 260. Two consecutive reads returned the same file.
    • The parameter payload matches the MIDI Control Center archives Factory 3.0, Factory 6.0 (Factory 3.0 slot 327, Factory 6.0 slot 177). Comparison used mise run microfreak:compare.
    • Download the slot 260 capture. It is the raw device format (header plus data packets), not an .mbp file; see Microfreak/Preset/260 8bitfi/Asset/Device-Read-2026-10-25/bin.

  • Oscillator

    • Model: Bass. Microfreak/UG/06 Dig Osc/03 Types/14 BASS
    • Saturate: 0.146. Fold: 0.201. Noise: 0.000.
    • Keyboard octave: +2. Glide: 0.000.

  • Filter

    • Low-pass filter. Saved cutoff: 0.370; resonance: 0.158. Microfreak/UG/07 Filter/01 Modifying Sound/01 Low Pass Filter

  • Envelopes

    • Main envelope: attack 0.000, decay/release 0.369, sustain 0.000. Amp Mod is on, so the main envelope controls loudness. Microfreak/UG/09 Envelope Gen/03 Envelope Stages
    • Cycling Envelope mode: Run. Stored RiseLvl 0.256, RiseSlp 0.311, FallLvl 0.278, FallSlp 0.647, Hold 0.000, Amount 0.000. Microfreak/UG/09 Envelope Gen/06 Cycling Envelope

  • LFO

    • Square, clock sync off; stored normalized rate: 0.804. 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 → Pitch: +0.011.
    • LFO → Pitch: +0.073.
    • PRESSURE → Wave: +0.373.
    • PRESSURE → Timbre: +1.000.
    • Cycling Envelope → Cutoff: +0.005.
    • ENV → Cutoff: +0.444.
    • KEY/ARP → Assign 3 → Mat.Assign3: −0.137.
    • All other saved matrix amounts are zero.

  • Voice and keyboard

    • Paraphonic mode: off.

  • Performance and session context

    • A short lead two octaves up: the main envelope has no attack and no sustain, and it opens the cutoff (+0.444) on each note. Key pressure is the main expressive control, driving Fold at full amount (+1.000) and Saturate (+0.373). The square LFO adds a small pitch modulation (+0.073) whose speed follows the LFO rate.
    • The PRESSURE matrix row follows the instrument's global expression setting, which the export does not record.
    • The Assign 3 destination is unresolved. Its saved destination ID is 0x0904, which the Freakout live map lists as an address of the Assign 3 field itself. Assign 3 stores the same ID in 70 of the 384 Factory 6.0 presets. In the session commentary at 21:28, the instrument shows this KEY/ARP → Assign 3 destination as "move".
    • In GitP/A/Session/26/11/01-Sun it was played from the MicroFreak keys from 18:17 to the end, with almost continuous pressure and pitch bends from 22:46. Recorded knob changes covered attack, decay, sustain, the cycling envelope, filter amount, the free LFO rate, Noise and Fold. At 25:15 pressure was routed through Assign 1 to the main envelope's attack, a matrix edit the capture does not record. A read of slot 260 after the session matched the October 25 export, so the slot still holds the factory sound. The session MIDI holds the knob changes as controller messages.

  • 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.
