The Arturia MICROFREAK is a paraphonic hybrid synthesizer which features a multi-mode digital oscillator thats gives the MICROFREAK the a huge tonal pallette, allowing you to create any sound you can think of. Ar range of different modes are available including analog modelling, Karplus-strong to physical modelling, as well as incorporating the Eurorack legend Plaits to the MICROFREAK via open source.

MICROFREAK features a rich 12dB/oct analog filter that pairs beautifully with its sound creation capabilities. The sound possible from the MICROFREAK is vibrant, deep, and full of character. It also comes with a sequencer, a polyphonic touch plate keyboard - that offers full expression, CV, MIDI and USB connectivity.

The MICROFREAK synthesizer is powerful enough to keep veterans engaged but simple enough to make it the ideal beginner's synthesizer. Its attractive price point makes it a must-have, regardless.

Expect the Unexpected

The Arturia MicroFreak is a synthesizer that defies convention. Fusing digital oscillators with a warm analog filter, this paraphonic hybrid machine is a playground for sonic explorers. From granular textures and speech synthesis to raucous wavetables and FM madness, the MicroFreak offers a palette of sounds that machines three times its price can’t replicate.

The Touch-Plate Revolution

The first thing you’ll notice is the keyboard—or lack of one. The MicroFreak features a 25-note pressure-sensitive PCB touch plate. It doesn't just trigger notes; it responds to the contact area of your skin, allowing for expressive aftertouch and "poly-pressure" gestures that feel more like playing an acoustic instrument than a digital synth.

Why the MicroFreak is a must-have for every rig:

17+ Oscillator Modes: Includes modes from Mutable Instruments Plaits, plus Vocoder, Noise, and Wavetable engines.

Analog Filter: A 12dB/octave Oberheim SEM-inspired resonant filter for that classic hardware warmth.

Modulation Matrix: A 5x7 matrix that lets you route anything to anywhere—essential for complex, evolving patches.

Powerful Sequencer: A 64-step sequencer with "Spice" and "Dice" functions for generative, unpredictable patterns.

Connectivity: MIDI, USB, and CV/Gate/Pressure outputs to control your modular gear or DAW.

FAQs

Q: Is the touch-plate keyboard hard to play?

A: Not at all! It's incredibly responsive. Because there are no moving parts, it’s lightning-fast for lead lines and allows for unique "sliding" expressions that a standard keyboard can't do.

Q: Can I use it as a Vocoder?

A: Yes! With the latest firmware and a compatible microphone (via the TRRS headphone jack), the MicroFreak becomes a powerful 16-band Vocoder.

Q: Does it have built-in effects?

A: The MicroFreak focuses on pure sound generation. While it doesn't have internal delay or reverb, it sounds incredible when paired with boutique pedals like the OTO Machines BIM.

Q: Can it run on batteries?

A: It is powered via the included DC adapter or a USB Power Bank, making it perfect for portable DAWless setups.
