Microfreak/UG/04 Presets/05 Digital Control

• 04.05 Understanding Digitally-Controlled Analog

  • Every MicroFreak module, including the analog filter, is controlled digitally. This combines the warmth and direct control of analog sound with the ability to save and recall presets and settings.
  • Knobs and sliders send instructions to the digital circuitry; they do not control voltages directly. After loading a preset, the physical control positions may not match the stored settings.
  • MIDI Control Center offers three ways to match a control's position to its stored value:
    • Hook: Move the control until it reaches the stored position; it has no effect before then.
    • Jump: The value jumps to the control's position as soon as it moves.
    • Scaled: The control's range scales with the stored value and the distance from its physical position to either end.
  • In the default mode, move the knob past its stored value to hook it. Press Panel to bypass the loaded preset and hear a sound based on the panel's current knob and slider positions.

  • Note/Info To arrange presets for a song, save them in consecutive MIDI Control Center slots and load the reordered presets into the MicroFreak.
