4.5. Understanding Digitally-Controlled Analog
Unlike analog synths, every module in the MicroFreak is controlled digitally, even its analog
filter. It's the best of both worlds: the warmth and hands-on control of real analog, with the
ability to save and recall patches and settings.
Because of that, the instrument's knobs and sliders aren't controlling voltages directly; they
are knobs that instruct the digital circuitry how to manage the analog voltages and the
parameters of the digital modules. A consequence of this is that the knob positions you see
on the panel don't necessarily reflect the actual settings after you load a Preset sound.
The MIDI Control Center software, therefore, offers three methods to match the physical
knob position with the digital value it represents: in Hook mode, you must sweep the knob
until it catches its actual position before it has any effect. Jump mode means the voltage
jumps to the knob position as soon as you move it, and Scaled mode scales the range of the
knob based on the stored value and the physical distance to either extreme.
Summary: The knobs and sliders don't necessarily reflect the underlying settings. There are
some different behavior settings in the MIDI Control Center, but in the default mode, you
must sweep the knob past its actual setting to "hook" it. The Panel button mentioned above
will bypass the current preset and give you a sound based on the actual positions of the
knobs and sliders.
Freaky idea: Creating a song structure If you want to create a song structure, save several
presets that make up the song, assign them to consecutive slots in the MIDI Control Center,
and load the newly sorted presets back into the MicroFreak.
