Ambient Soundscapes From ONE NOTE — MicroFreak + Microcosm

Today I’m using the Arturia MicroFreak and the Hologram Electronics Microcosm to create evolving ambient soundscapes from just one note. Three times! The MicroFreak is full of tools that make this possible — the arpeggiator and sequencer, swing, Spice & Dice, the LFO, Cycling Envelope, and of course its wide range of oscillators. Pair all of that with the granular-processing powerhouse that is the Microcosm, and you’ve got everything you need to turn a single note into a detailed ambient world. =================================== PATREON: Early access to YouTube videos, member only videos and resources:   / whirrings   JOIN the channel: hit the "Join" button for early videos and member exclusives:    / @whirrings   Get your FREE PDF book: "The Creative Musician's Field Guide — Ideas and Techniques to Energise Your Music Practice".
