Arturia Microfreak - Hybrid Synthesizer

Arturia MicroFreak – experimental hybrid synthesizer The Arturia MicroFreak is a unique hardware synthesizer that combines digital oscillators with an analog filter, giving musicians and sound designers unprecedented possibilities for sound exploration.. To an instrument that defies traditional classifications – instead of one sound engine, it offers as many as 21 oscillator modes, including granular, wavetable, vocoder, physical modeling, and engines created in collaboration with Mutable Instruments and Noise Engineering. This small but powerful synthesizer encourages experimentation – for both beginners and professionals.

Product features

21 digital oscillator modes, including wavetable, harmonic, formant, granular, and vocoder

Analog SEM filter 12 dB/octave with three modes (Low Pass, Band Pass, High Pass)

Capacitive keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch

64-step sequencer with 2 patterns per preset and 4 automation tracks

5x7 modulation matrix with 5 sources and 7 targets

Ability to save up to 512 presets (320 factory)

CV/Gate/Pressure Outputs, MIDI In/Out, USB, Headphone and Main Outputs

Synthesis without limits Thanks to its hybrid architecture, MicroFreak offers the best of both worlds – digital flexibility and analog warmth. Digital oscillators generate a wide palette of sounds – from classic to completely experimental. However, the analog SEM filter provides depth and characteristic saturation, which cannot be fully achieved digitally.

Creativity at your fingertips The unique MicroFreak keyboard doesn't resemble any other – it's a flat capacitive surface devoid of moving parts. It is resistant to wear and offers precise control, thanks to the ability to read pressure (aftertouch) on every vote. This is the ideal solution for expressive performances and precise real-time parameter modulation.

Experience chaos and control The advanced sequencer allows recording up to 64 steps, two patterns per preset, and four independent automation tracks. The Spice & Dice features allow you to introduce controlled randomness into sequences, so that each phrase can sound different – but still within the limits of your control.
