Hi! I have a Microfreak (love it!) and I’m thinking of getting a Minilab 3, but I’m a bit of a noobie and had a few questions
1- I currently have my Microfreak plugged into an amplifier and that’s working quite well. Is it possible to add a Minilab 3 to the mix without a computer?
2- If so: What I’m mainly looking for is to do live looping and use the drums. Is that something I could do without a computer?
3- Is it possible to add a guitar to this? I have no idea where I’d even plug it in, so maybe only with a computer?
You would use it to control software synths or synth modules without their own keyboard. So, you would need a computer to run software synths.
To use a guitar you will need an audio interface like the Arturia Minifuse and have this connected to a computer. This would also allow the Microfreak to be connected to it as long as you choose one with adequate inputs.
From there you might consider a DAW to record and edit your performances.
PS there is a free version of Analog Lab you can use if you decide to go down the computer/audio interface route.
