Common Arturia MiniFreak Questions
How do I sync the MiniFreak's sequencer tempo to my DAW using MIDI?
In your DAW's MIDI settings, select the MiniFreak as a MIDI output device and send MIDI clock information to it. Then, on the MiniFreak, set the 'Clock Source' to 'External' in the Global settings menu to sync to the incoming MIDI clock.
How do I save my custom sound patches (presets) on the MiniFreak?
Press the 'Utility' button, then use the encoder to navigate to 'Save Patch'. Select a memory slot (A1-H16) using the encoder and press the encoder again to save your sound.
What are the differences between the digital oscillator modes and how do I use them?
The MiniFreak has a variety of digital oscillator modes (like Wavetable, FM, Harmonics) offering unique sonic textures. Select an oscillator mode with the 'Osc Type' knob, then adjust the related parameters (like Shape, FM Amount, etc.) to sculpt the sound.
Why is there no sound coming from my MiniFreak?
First, check that the volume knob is turned up and the 'Output' level in the Utility menu is not muted. Second, ensure that you have connected headphones or monitors correctly to the output jacks, and that your input signal is active if routing it to another device.
How do I create and use custom sequences on the MiniFreak?
Engage the sequencer by pressing the 'Seq' button, then press 'Record' to start entering notes in real-time or step-by-step; use the 'Rate' and 'Swing' knobs to adjust the sequence's timing and groove.
