This discussion was going on for a long time now (like here: Sync FX1 / FX2 / FX3 button Minifreak V and Minifreak - Freak / MiniFreak - The Sound Explorers Community) and I even had a longer chat with one friendly guy from Arturia support in Feb '24.
He was quite supportive and promised to forward my request to DEV / product management back then.
I can’t bevlieve that now - month later - they published a new Firmware and a new MiniFreak V but STILL the FX I’m tweaking on the MiniFreak hardware are NOT represented in MiniFreak V. This completely breaks my otherwise smooth workflow because every time I want to change an effect, I have to reach for my mouse and mess with the computer to bring the corresponding tab into the foreground.
I have no idea why they would not implement such a simple function as to bring the tab of the effect currently selected on the MF to the foreground.
Being able to alter the look and behaviour of MF V from the hardware was the motivation for coupling the two devices in the first place, wasn’t it?
The ability to have visual feedback and SEE what I’m doing on this synth when I’m tweaking parameters was one of the main reasons to buy the couple.
To be honest, currently I am VERY disapppointed (even on the brink to angry) about how bad Arturia (not) delivers what they promote.
Same disaster with KeyLab MK3 not supporting several different Arturias VSTs at a time.
I really love my Arturia products (I own quite a few hardware and software products) BUT I really whish they would focus more on finalizing their products and deliver the quality they ARE capable of (if only they wanted) than on throwing new, buggy and unfinished products on the market.
