Arturia MicroFreak: digital synthesis with analog filter

The Arturia MicroFreak is a compact hybrid synthesizer for exploring basses, leads, chords, and experimental textures. It combines the variety of its digital engines with a resonant analog filter and a 25-key capacitive keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch.

Shape a sound, transform its timbre with the dedicated controls, and set it in motion with the modulation matrix. Its arpeggiator and sequencer allow you to build patterns and generate variations with Spice and Dice, both in the studio and live.
