Is Arturia Microfreak worth buying?
Hello, I'm a classically trained composer and I write lots of things (concert, theater, video game, film musics) and I started two years ago to do video game sound design. I write in a variety of styles, depending on the project. For my own pleasure I do jams playing simultaneously the instruments that I have (a Fender strat, Moog Grandmother, midi keyboard pedal, Roland SPD Sx Pro drum pad) and I am still very much in love with electronic sounds. I'm considering buying a smaller and less heavier synth than my Moog Grandmother to use it when I go off the studio with my laptop. I saw couple of videos of this tiny synth but my hesitation about Arturia Microfreak comes from the fact doesn't have a keyboard per se. Maybe I'm a bit pretentious about it but I don't know, I'm also planning to use the synth as a midi keyboard for strings, brass and so on. What would you guys advise me to do? Especially the ones that have it, would be very interesting to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
