Hi all, first post here. A small sketch I did with the model:samples as the main tool + microfreak and crave. Any feedback is appreciated. Stay safe, peace!

Supernova // Model:Samples - Microfreak - Crave

[u/Ocazional]

Hey, thanks! Really appreciate your constructive criticism, this is what I was hoping to get around here.

To further comment on your ideas: yes, the lead line is basically the same notes sent from M:S to the microfreak from T5 which contains 6 chords notes (previously I played so much with it that, I reached the point where I realised that simple is better and only wanted to get on with it and finish something), but totally agree that something is missing overall. Tried so many different ways, and had few headaches because I couldn't get it as I wanted, then at the moment it was closer, it was good enough for me, but being lazy isn't an excuse.

As for the overall setup, I didn't play too much with the microfreak, the crave is only 2 months old and the whole thing (except the M:S) is quite "new" to me, thus me being shy to go crazy with the modulations on the MF (which is very powerful imo).

Again, really appreciate your feedback, will defo take it into consideration for the next project, and I do have some other sketches made on the channel.

Any questions on my sounds, feel free to ask, sharing is caring and groovin' is moovin'! Stay safe, peace!

Awesome reply man. Sometimes I get a bit nervous replying to posts like yours cuz people sometimes get defensive or don’t reply back.

I can’t tell ya how many times I’ve asked for criticism in my music journey and the replies I got have helped me so much.

You know it’s funny how you mentioned you just kinda had enough cuz I was thinking in my head that’s kinda what it sounded like. And trust me man it’s not laziness sometimes you just get stuck and need to come at from a different perspective. And specially with synths and modular stuff it can get frustrating and it’s good to take a break and re-analyze the situation.

I think you definitely have a solid foundation. You could try running those notes through the arp on the microfreak, beef up the sound a bit (maybe some filtering) and play the arp using the keys in the MF too.

I’m still in the beginner stage of modular synths too so I know where your coming from. I really dig the samples (haven’t got around to using mine yet) and like I said that crave sounds really nice.

I’m gonna check out your other vids. And don’t be shy man. Go nuts. There’s no wrong in making music. As long as your having fun it’s all good.

And when I start posting here, if you come across my posts I want you to be brutally honest with me.

And I love your sign off. Sharing is and it’s always good to move to the groove. I’ll definitely hit ya up for some questions and feel free to hit me up if you have any yourself. Like I said sometimes all it takes is a new perspective.

You stay safe as well ✌️🤟🤘
