Its flat, pressure-sensitive poly-aftertouch keyboard and random sequences make it an extraordinary instrument.MicroFreak opens up completely new sound possibilities with versatile oscillators, including texture, Karplus-Strong and vocoder, as well as state-of-the-art algorithms from mutable instruments and noise engineering. Its 12 dB Oberheim SEM-inspired filter can be modulated from gentle to brillly and even oscillate itself.The synthesizer has a modulation matrix and a sequencer that enables automation, step-by-step note editing and random patterns. Thanks to USB, MIDI and CV-outputs, MicroFreak can be integrated seamlessly with DAW and modular setups – or used as poly-after-touch controller for software synths.This text is machine translated. Whether you've just set out on your first epic synth adventure or have already battled a few synths in your time, the new Arturia Microfreak is a compact, paraphonic, algorithmic hybrid little challenge that is sure to inspire you!
