Description
Arturia MicroFreak Synthesizer is a revolutionary new synthesizer that takes the world of electronic music production to an entirely new level. The Synthesizer is a digital/analog hybrid with a powerful digital synthesizer engine that produces complex waveforms based on traditional oscillator waveforms. It can be used as a standalone synth, with a MIDI controller or as a Eurorack module.
The first thing that stands out about the MicroFreak synthesizer is the unique design. It boasts a small but sturdy design with a touch pad keyboard that has 25 keys. The touch keyboard is pressure-sensitive, which means that you can create a different sound depending on how hard you press each key. The keys are also backlit, making it easy to see which keys you’re playing in low light environments.
In addition to the touch keyboard, the MicroFreak has four parameter controls that let you control various aspects of the synth engine. One of the most intriguing features is the “Spice” parameter, which lets you add a touch of instability to your sounds. This feature can create some truly unique and interesting sounds that you won’t find in any other synthesizer.
The MicroFreak comes with 12 different oscillator modes, including classic analog waveforms like saw, square, sine and triangle, as well as more complex digital oscillator modes. The digital modes include modes that are based on physical modeling, granular synthesis, and wavetable synthesis. There is also a noise oscillator and what Arturia calls a “Speech” oscillator that lets you create sounds that mimic human speech.
The MicroFreak also has a built-in sequencer that lets you create complex patterns and sequences. The sequencer is a polyphonic 4-track sequencer that can store up to 64 sequences. The sequencer also has various play modes, including normal, reverse, random, and several different scales.
One of the most exciting features of the MicroFreak is its connectivity options. It has a USB port that lets you control the synth from your DAW or use it as a MIDI controller. It also has a CV/Gate output, which means that you can use it with Eurorack synths. Finally, it has stereo line outputs, a headphone output and a MIDI input.
In conclusion, the Arturia MicroFreak Synthesizer is an innovative and exciting new synthesizer that is perfect for electronic music producers, sound designers, and synth enthusiasts. Its unique design, powerful synth engine, and connectivity options make it a must-have for anyone looking for an affordable, yet professional-grade synth.
