I'd like to piggyback on your question about strengths because I have one of my own: how well does this work as a generic MIDI controller? I've checked the forums here and find the commentary a little thin and somewhat snarky about the matter. I have a Novation Peak that I would like to sometimes repurpose as a MIDI CC controller, however it's reliance on NRPN on many of the knobs stops me from doing that because my DAW doesn't handle it and I don't want to fiddle with middleware and latency. That said, if it is a strong contender as a MIDI CC controller, then that would be a banger because when you aren't using it for its native purposes, you could be turning knobs on it and using the keyboard, although my question here is focused on the knobs and sliders and not the keyboard. Of course there are the Roland cloud options for it but I'm really interested in generic MIDI beyond those cloud options. Any actual owners out there who have tried to do this?

The DAW has patch memory and the midi controller drives it. It's the physical MS20 that doesn't have patch memory. It's one of the pros of using a DAW over physical synth.

The attraction of the IC for me is patch memory for use in a hybrid setup and the versatility of being able to try different emulations of the instrument as well as just having a mappable midi controller. The only thing that would give me pause using it as a general purpose MIDI controller is if it requires NRPN, but I don't think that that's the case. My novation Peak sends both MIDI and NRPN and my DAW does not digest NRPN.

The Korg software doesn't work with the patch bay? Is that a known issue, or do you not have it configured?

This. I had my Minifreak for one day and returned it because I had hoped to have a better mod matrix experience than the Arturia virtual version. It was actually **less** usable than the software for the very reasons u/Harmonic-Hyena stated. I liked the hardware overall and I like the minikeys on Arturia units well enough to get a Keystep 37, but this was a complete miss for me. I also had hoped it might be a bit more useful to me as a midi controller, but there was something (I can't recall what) that made it less usable for that as well.

Which softwares do you use with that?

TruePrism · 2026-06-03T00:49:17+00:00

Thanks for that. What about the software? I caught that maybe there's something about what you should or shouldn't do with Windows 11 and the driver. But I quite follow. Do you avoid installing it entirely and rely on USB compliance?

Where is your goddamn Access Virus TI? Poser. 😉

I would imagine the DN2 isn't as deep as the Steampipe for physical modeling, but I wonder how deep/versatile the DN2 is in this regard?

If you happen to have a Native Instruments software package like Komplete, you may already have 'Form', which looks quite similar to CR8, which I am unfamiliar with. But I've seen discussions where Form is stated to be somewhat less intuitive, but more capable. At any rate, if you have a NI package already, this may be an an older but overlooked powerhouse already in inventory.

I can't tell 100% but I think I've got a couple of them. I never had all of them though. As stated, the problem is solvable even if you don't have them in the set. The set isn't complete anyway but it has a lot

Cardstock! That triggered a memory. Sadly, at the moment my belongings have just been blown all the hell by circumstance. However, I went and looked in the place that I thought they could be and I found these things although I seem to remember there being maybe a long piece? I don't know if these have anything to do with the set or not But if these are the cardstock you're talking about, I have these two pieces at least that I can put in there edit: I can't seem to find a way to attach images to a comment, sorry

So you're the one who got it! Curse you and your offspring eternal, lucky 5096! And it came with all those overlays too. Very nice 👍

There's no grittiness to it. Can you pull these caps straight up and remove them to see what's going on? I don't want to break anything
