🎹 Microfreak, Arturia's hybrid analog synth that we've already discussed in depth, can also be played with an external controller, overcoming the difficulties of using a very small keyboard, like the onboard one.
🔌 We connected the Keylab Essential Mk3, used as a controller, to the Microfreak without the aid of a computer.
💻 The computer is only used to configure and map some of the controller device's functions so you can control the Microfreak from more than just the keyboard.
🎤 For the rest, you're ready to go live without a computer!!!
