An ad hoc improvisation showing the capabilities of the new Arturia Microfreak synthesizer used as a CV/Gate controller to play and control a late 1971 EMS Synthi A analogue synthesizer. Using a Kenton connecting cable, the CV appears at Input 1 and the CV pressure out at Input 2 (which is patched to Reverb mix on the EMS). The Gate out is triggering the EMS Trapezoid Envelope. The arpeggiator is being used here with the gate length of the MF set to it's minimum value.  Recorded in mono straight to a DAW with no effects added in post production.

Synthi & MicroFreak

The filter in an EMS Synthi or VCS3 is capable of very strange vocal like formants when modulated. This patch sounded so Glaswegian I had to record a short clip of it. "Is it?"  Aye.

Recorded straight to DAW - no additional effects used.
