Arturia MiniFreak: How to Sing the Ancient Songs of the Krell

Let's talk about Krell patches. They are a type or genre of alien-sounding, self playing generative patch, originally associated with west coast synthesizers and in particular Buchla systems, but which can be applied to a great many other electronic instruments. As an occasional purveyor of generative music, I'm a fan of the songs that the Krell can sing and I've previously featured videos of various synths being patched this way. But one synth I've somehow managed to overlook for this task is the Arturia MiniFreak, which is a crime, because it has a range of features that make it suited to not only the classic implementation of Krell patches, but also iterating on the core ideas to take the Krell to new sonic and musical galaxies. Here's Jeremy's video on KRELL:    • WTF is a Krell Patch?!   KRELL Transparency Notice: Arturia kinda provided this unit to me for free for the purposes of making videos. They have not asked for, neither have they been given, any editorial oversight into the contents of this video. http://www.oscillatorsink.com Facebook:   / oscillatorsink   Twitter:   / oscillatorsink   Instagram:   / oscillatorsink
