Small but fierce
MicroFreak packs so much in to such a compact instrument, you’ll wonder
how we did it. We’d love to say it was magic, but it was pure skill and
passion.
Physical modelling, wavetable synthesis, virtual analog, there is
nothing as complete and exciting as the MicroFreak oscillator on the
market. It’s hard to believe from such a small synth, but here it is,
ready for you to explore. Excite your creativity and reward your
curiosity with a large, diverse sound palette. MicroFreak features 12
awesome oscillator modes, 5 bespoke Arturia engines, and 7 modes from
Mutable Instruments.
There’s a little freak inside you, and this instrument will bring it
out.
The best of both worlds
Even though MicroFreak has a digital oscillator at its heart, opposites
attract as the saying goes. Thats why weve included a lush-sounding
analog filter.
Inspired by the trailblazing 12-dB 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 mentio
