Arturia Microfreak Paraphonic Hybrid Synthesizer
Shopping information
A digital synth like no other, MicroFreak is a peculiar, exceptional instrument that rewards the curious musician.
It blends numerous wavetable and digital sound engines with analog filters. It features a unique poly-aftertouch flat keyboard.
It adds controlled randomness to sequences. This isnt a revolution, its 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, Vocoder, and Superwave give adventurous musicians the chance to explore totally new, unheard possibilities. You can even up-load your own wavetables. Like having dozens of synths in just one instrument, both wild-eyed newcomers and seasoned professionals will fall in love with MicroFreaks flexible, powerful synth engine.
Were in this together
Everybody likes to go solo from time to time – but sometimes, you just cant beat the musical magic of an ensemble. With MicroFreaks oscillator modes, variety is the aim of the game. Alongside the 8 native oscillator types, youll find a selection of open-source algorithms from modular pioneers Mutable Instruments, as well as a handful of unique modes from LA Eurorack wizards Noise Engineering. Enjoy the sonic flexibility of modular, with the same parameter controls and boosted with paraphony, but in a self-contained, performable hardware synth.
The best of both worlds
Inspired by the trailblazing 12-dB Oberheim SEM filter, you can make MicroFreaks 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 sequencer 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.
Thats a funny looking keyboard
Thats right, it is. It isnt really even a keyboard. Its a PCB. Super-flat, with no moving parts. Will it track lightning-fast synth solos? You bet. Better than a traditional keyboard, actually.
Will it let you be expressive? Of course, its not only pressure sensitive, but also offers poly-after-touch. This means each key can control parameters in a different way depending on how much you touch.
You can also use its USB, MIDI, and CV outputs to control instruments in your DAW and modular synths. This also means that you can also use MicroFreak as a controller to experience polyphonic aftertouch with cutting edge software instruments.
