5.2.2. Assigning destinations
The final three destinations (Assign1, Assign2 and Assign3) are a special case; we've left
it to you to define destinations for them. This option is one of the things that makes the
MicroFreak unique. We introduced this feature on the MatrixBrute, the older brother of the
MicroFreak. We've since then learned how powerful this feature is.
The fixed destinations on the Matrix can only cover a small number of possible destinations
on the MicroFreak. With the assignable destinations you can turn (almost) every knob on the
MicroFreak into a destination for modulation control.
Note: The exceptions are: Master Volume and the Preset Encoder. It is also not possible to
assign SHIFT + Knob parameters such as Cycling Envelope shapes. Neither can you assign
control buttons (Shift, Amp MOD LFO MODE) or Icon buttons (Spice, Dice, etc.)
An example:
You want to modulate the Shape of an oscillator with the LFO. Wave and Timbre are already
fixed destinations on the Matrix; Shape is not. To add Shape as a destination select the LFO-
Assign1 crossing on the Matrix using the encoder. The LED will blink on that position. Now
press the encoder to enter edit mode. Hold the Assign1 button (located above the Assign1
text) and turn the the shape knob. The Screen will now confirm that you have set the
destination to parameter 3 of the oscillator, which happens to be Shape. You can now set
the modulation amount. Press the encoder once more to leave edit mode.
A nifty alternative lets you assign all destinations in a column simultaneously:
• hold one of the Assign buttons (Assign 1-3)
• move the knob you want to assign
All points in the Matrix column you selected are now assigned to the knob you moved. You
can now proceed to set amounts for each of the sources in this column.
