Incredibly proud to have been involved with this #2!
So I said…
It would be great if you guys made a virtual version of your µFreak, since you make such great sounding virtual filters, and the rest is all digital anyway!
They went me one better!
To be able to have deep involvement in this has been one of the most satisfying experiences in my career.
The miniFREAK-V killer feature you ask?
The hardware acts as a perfect control surface for the software version so you get all the realtime hands on control of a hardware synth, but the multiple instances of a plugin.
Normally, you buy a hardware synth and have only 1 ‘Instance’ as its atoms!, but… This one…
Buy a very VERY fun poly synth with an incredible array of oscillator types, and a CRAZY useful arpeggator / sequencer, and get a software version you can use in your DAW, giving you as many ‘COPIES’ as your cpu can handle.

Manuia Samoa!
Good Luck Samoa!
Sadly didn’t win but as the fans said, To be there is a massive win!
R.I.P a guitar hero Keith Levene
Levene said in 2012: “People thought I was classically trained, which was bollocks. I knew the E chord, and ventured into E minor.
In 2021, the website the Quietus described him as “one of the architects of the post-punk sound, his guitar style occupying a space between angular abrasion and pop opulence”.

Stuart Copland remains the most interesting drummer I’m aware of.
THIS is a HORROR STORY
I have had quite a few experiences similar to this, but NEVER on anything even close to THIS scale!
Mick Gorden has been through the ringer…
AND A FUCKING HERO FOR STEPPING UP !

Music for me and Andrej Avramovic to slide over car bonnets
Locals seem pretty smart here!
New Zealanders are known for their ingenuity and many local musicians have taken novel musical approaches to achieve international success. This creative attitude extends to local inventors and entrepreneurs, who have come up with some innovative gadgets to aid and inspire music makers in their creative process. This list attempts to capture some of the broad range of musical products that are designed, and often built, here in Aotearoa.
Incredibly proud to have been involved with this:
More than two years ago, I bought a µFreak, it is easily the most fun synth I’ve had in 30 years… but I had a few thoughts…
So, I had a conversation with the brilliant welcoming people at Arturia.
That ended up with me being quite deeply involved in the development of this absolutely superb instrument.
The Arturia miniFreak, If your a synth geek, I definitely recommend checking it out.
And the lovely Loopop seems to like it !
