Here s what Arturia say:
A digital synth like no other, MicroFreak is a peculiar, exceptional instrument that rewards the curious musician It blends wavetable and digital oscillators with analog filters It features a unique poly-aftertouch flat keyboard It adds controlled randomness to sequences This isn t a revolution, it s a mutiny
Un Grain De Folie / A touch of madness
This out-there little music machine features a versatile digital oscillator so you can create rare and interesting sounds with ease Modes like Texturer, KarplusStrong, Harmonic OSC, and Su-perwave give adventurous musicians the chance to explore totally new, unheard possibilities Like having dozens of synths in just one instrument, both wild-eyed newcomers and seasoned profession-als will fall in love with MicroFreak s flexible, powerful synth engine
We re in this together
While it can be fun to play with yourself, things can get more exciting when there s two We love to collaborate, so we re exciting to bring you the first collaboration between Arturia and acclaimed modular synth pioneers Mutable Instruments Among the multiple modes of Mi-croFreak s synth engine, you ll be able to select the much-loved Plaits oscillator and with added paraphony
Now you can enjoy the same otherworldly sounds, the same modes, and with the same param-eter controls as the iconic Eurorack module, but from a self-contained, performable hardware synth
The best of both worlds
Inspired by the trailblazing 12-dB Oberheim SEM filter, you can make MicroFreak s filter scream or whisper to taste The filter is state-variable, and can even auto-oscillate! You can use this is any way you like, from taking the edge of the razor-sharp wavetable sounds, or automating the cutoff by modulating it with keyboard pressure or the in-built sequencer
Wait Did we mention that MicroFreak has a sequencer? And a mod matrix? Things are about to get seriously interesting
Taste the spice, throw the dice
Record up to four automations, edit notes per step or use the innovative Spice and Dice se-quencer functions to find happy accidents Add randomization to create evolving, original pat-terns, and virtually rewire and reconfigure its signal chain and controls with the 5×7 modulation matrix
That s a funny looking keyboard
That s right, it is It isn t really even a keyboard It s a PCB Super-flat, with no moving parts Will it track lightning-fa
