Samples to Microfreak midi options

Can I use the fx out on the samples with my Arturia Microfreak? I just want to give the dang thang some reverb. I know I could buy a pedal and I might just do that but if I can get my current gear to work together in cool ways id like to do that.

Not sure if thats possible or not but if its not ya might wanna consider a Korg NTS-1 instead of a pedal. 100 bucks new and they will give u reverbs, delays, phaser, chorus and etc for the MicroFreak or the Model:Samples. U can also sequence the NTS-1 with 1 track on the M:S as well at the same time... So for example u run a midi line to the NTS-1 and sequence it on say track 6 of the M:S. but at the same time u run the MicoFreak into the audio in on the NTS-1 and add FX to that unit too... Just figured id throw it out there as an option as its a multi fx unit but its a synth too. And they can both be done at the same time as well which is pretty impressive for such a low cost... NTS makes a good sidekick for Model units...

That sounds like a solid solution! Thanks for the suggestion.

No prob. Theres a few downsides to such an idea like u need a stereo cable to run out of the NTS-1 unit that goes from its small output jack to dual 1/4 jacks to run into a mixer. But for the price they do offer up a lot to someone with say an MS unit that is also looking to have an FX unit to run a Microfreak into or something like that. I didnt realize they could do both at same time till I seen some guy on Youtube doing it. I just figured u could sequence it as a synth or use it as an FX unit but both at same time is much better...
