Yukes玉刻 Microfreak Patches 01

 If you like what you saw in these videos, take these 25 patches and use them forever.

Geared towards ambient performance.

Interrupted

A pulsing organ sound with a BPM-synced rhythmic glitch element.

Smooth, deep and hypnotic.

To remove the rhythmic glitch, disable LFO > Assign #2

Engine

A velvety pad with a churning percussive stutter.

Smooth, deep and hypnotic.

To remove the percussive stutter, turn the Cycling Envelope Amount to 0

Generative I

An oblique chord generator, highly sensitive to touch.

Suggested to play 1-3 intervals on HOLD, and press when a dynamic shift is needed.

Baths

A sharp but resolute harmonic pad with two distinct sounds.

Arp is disabled by default for a simple-to-play pad sound.

When Arp is enabled, the sharpness only present when pressure is applied.

Drive

A pulsing techno sequencer, always changing, always driving.

Just enough tone sustain to create a cyberpunk sunset ambience, the sound of a freshly repaired hoverbike.

Apocalypse

Volume warning.

An unforgiving landscape pad, piercing as can be but with somber tones doing their best to stay afloat.

Highly receptive to press.

Highlands

Somber reeds for grassy afternoons. Press for unfriendly warbling. Try to keep it light.

Pocket Change

A squelchy, narrow-frequency synth keyboard reminiscent of 80’s cheap keys.

Hiker

A by-the-books mild sequencer with the occasional, ambitious shapeshifting.

Don’t Dig Here

An inherently mysterious and curious tone, bright but fearful.

Press reveals a brighter and noisier resonance, inspiring the name. Don’t dig too deep.

Nero’s Trumpet

A pure and simple mono lead. The harder you press, the longer the glide.

Named after a phenomenal SHIMMER patch on the Eventide H9. If you have a shimmer plugin or pedal, use it with this patch.

Jester Chords

Build with the intention to slow it down using a cassette recorder.

Fast-moving chord sequencer without control over its direction. Press creates all sorts of chaos. Felt this patch was laughing at me as I built it.

AntiCorporeal

An electronic string quartet, with built-in Col Legno sustains and a beautiful, cosmic atmosphere.

If the press is too squelchy for you, simply turn down the resonance.

Answer Me

Missed call.

Don’t press me.

Sand Castle

A smooth synth pad, torn open when pressed too hard. The resonance becomes an instrument itself.

Dirt Castle

The Sand Castle’s twin brother. Simpler on the surface, but with a more dynamic press effect.

Loading Dock

An experiment in inverted press design.

Press harder for a milder, 80’s synth tone. As you let go, it devolves into LFO-derived madness.

The Colony

The mildest supersaw pad with intermittent shouts. The harder you press, the longer the glide. Good for making

Atlas Unlocked

A warbling saw with an aggressive pitch spin-up.

The spin-up might turn you off, but strike it hard enough and it’ll fit right in.

Press makes the spin-up shorter.

Dying Star

A squelchy, plucked-string resonance bass. Would very much benefit from an external compressor.

Start, Damn You

My all-time favorite. A CP Piano-esque bell tone with the faintest, somber cry from the filter.

Press harder and cause the bass to stir and tremble.

Church Doors

An exercise in self-control.

To be played as slowly and lightly as possible, let every filter sweep keep you from moving too fast.

Built for use with a church reverb, to search for the overtones and treat them like your own chamber choir.

Bad Solder

Letting electrical hum pay its creative dues. Lower frequencies grind, higher frequencies sting.

Or convince your friend their Microfreak is broken. Whatever you wanna do.

Nnit

Made during an ambient music festival as part of a demonstration. Incredibly simply programmed, yet it was pretty enough that I’ve kept it and used it for several shows since.

Blips

A cavelight tone. A bread-and-butter synth Arp with a calm demeanor.

Has an occasional dip to something sharper. Disable that by reducing the Cycling Envelope Amount.
