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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eUn Grain De Folie\/A touch of madness\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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 Superwave 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 professionals will fall in love with MicroFreak’s flexible, powerful synth engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCollaboration with Mutable Instruments\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhile it can be fun to play with yourself, things can get more exciting when there’s two. Arturia love to collaborate, so they’re exciting to bring you the first collaboration between them and acclaimed modular synth pioneers Mutable Instruments. Among the multiple modes of MicroFreak’s synth engine, you’ll be able to select the much-loved Plaits oscillator and with added paraphony.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eNow you can enjoy the same otherworldly sounds, the same modes, and with the same parameter controls as the iconic Eurorack module, but from a self-contained, performable hardware synth.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eThe best of both worlds\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eInspired 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eWait. Has it been mentioned that MicroFreak has a sequencer? And a mod matrix? Things are about to get seriously interesting...\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste the spice, throw the dice\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eRecord 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 patterns, and virtually rewire and reconfigure its signal chain and controls with the 5x7 modulation matrix.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003e“That’s a funny looking keyboard”\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThat’s right, it is. It isn’t really even a keyboard. It’s a PCB. Super-flat, with no moving parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eWill it track lightning-fast synth solos? You bet. Better than a traditional keyboard, actually.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eWill it let you be expressive? Of course, it’s not only pressure sensitive, but also offers poly-aftertouch. This means each key can control parameters in a different way depending on how much you touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eYou 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arturia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450376679527,"sku":"113813","price":349.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/arturia-microfreak_113813_1_5b8e27d7-f32e-48bf-bbf2-804500cc156e.jpg?v=1787092809","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/arturia-microfreak","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
