Microfreak/Preset/399 Init

• Notes

  • Quick-saved to slot 399 during GitP/A/Session/26/10/09-Fri, at 22:19 in the recording.
  • Custom Bass patch with wavefolding and expression-controlled noise.

  • Saved export and provenance

    • The existing downloadable preset 399 export matches this page’s file and parameter-payload digests. It is a populated custom preset named Init, not an initialized empty slot.
    • The saved export preserves this preset’s identity independently of similarly named patches or later device-slot changes. It does not capture unsaved edits elsewhere in the recording.

  • Oscillator

    • Model: BASS. Saturate changes cosine-oscillator saturation; Fold applies asymmetric wavefolding; Noise phase-modulates the oscillators and adds noise between fold stages.
    • Saturate: 0.000.
    • Fold: 0.512.
    • Noise: 0.332.

  • Filter

    • Low-pass filter. Saved cutoff: 0.351; resonance: 0.282. Cutoff and resonance are normalized settings, not hertz or instrument display values.

  • Envelopes

    • Main envelope: attack 0.198, decay/release 0.255, sustain 0.463. Amp Mod is on, so the main envelope controls loudness.
    • Cycling Envelope mode: Run. Stored RiseLvl 0.163, FallLvl 0.163, Hold 0.000, Amount 1.000. These are normalized stored fields; rise/fall times in milliseconds remain unverified.

  • LFO

    • Sine; clock sync on. Stored normalized rate: 0.148; division code: 10. 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.
    • ENV → Cutoff: +0.050. The main envelope opens the filter slightly.
    • PRESSURE → Cutoff: −0.112. Expression closes the filter.
    • PRESSURE → Assign 1 → Noise: +0.977. Expression strongly increases oscillator noise.
    • All other saved matrix amounts are zero.

  • Performance and session context

    • The saved oscillator combines folding and noise. Expression adds noise while lowering cutoff, and the main envelope shapes loudness and filter brightness.
    • Paraphonic mode is off 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/26/10/09-Fri records this sound’s quick save. The preserved quick-save note above identifies the recording passage.

  • 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/06 Dig Osc/03 Types/14 BASS describes oscillator controls. Microfreak/UG/05 Connections/02 Matrix and Encoder/01 Sources and Destinations explains the matrix and expression row.
