They'll be saving the Rick James colourway for the Superfreak.

...37. Solid offering and complements the MPC nicely. Wanted a freaky synth with some knobs and been lusting for the Microfreak for ages. What a neat little machine... Grabbed the 0-Coast from the main rig because CV on the MPC and why not? Whoops, the reverbs on the MPC dont sound that stellar or...

Features that don't live up to expectations

...I'm going to wave a synth around to alter its sound, it shouldn't be any harder to wield than a microFreak (which - come to think of it - might actually be a reasonable feature on that machine)
