Microfreak/UG/17 Ext Gear/07 MIDI Tutorial MINI V
17.6 Tutorial 1: Using MIDI to control the MINI V VST synth
- This tutorial uses the MicroFreak to control the filter frequency in Arturia MINI V. The same method works with any V Collection instrument that receives MIDI on channel 4.
- Set the MicroFreak to transmit on MIDI channel 4 in Utility. MINI V instruments receive on all channels by default; set MINI V to channel 4 from the MIDI channel control at the bottom right.
- Connect the MicroFreak's USB output to the computer and open MINI V in standalone mode or in a DAW.
- Open the Arturia System menu and choose Audio MIDI settings. Select Arturia MicroFreak under MIDI devices.
- Select the MIDI icon in the upper-right corner of the main menu. MINI V's knobs turn red or purple.
- Select the Filter section's Cutoff Frequency knob, then turn the MicroFreak's Filter knob. MINI V's Cutoff Frequency should respond.
