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. Inspired by the trailblazing 12-dB Oberheim SEM filter, you can make MicroFreak’s filter scream or whisper to taste. Now 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. Among the multiple modes of MicroFreak’s synth engine, you’ll be able to select the much-loved Plaits oscillator and with added paraphony.

We love to collaborate, so we’re excited to bring you the first collaboration between Arturia and acclaimed modular synth pioneers Mutable Instruments. While it can be fun to play with yourself, things can get more exciting when there’s two. 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. Modes like Texturer, KarplusStrong, Harmonic OSC, and Su-perwave give adventurous musicians the chance to explore totally new, unheard possibilities. This out-there little music machine features a versatile digital oscillator so you can create rare and interesting sounds with ease. It adds controlled randomness to sequences. It features a unique poly-aftertouch flat keyboard. It blends wavetable and digital oscillators with analog filters. Here’s what Arturia say:Ī digital synth like no other, MicroFreak is a peculiar, exceptional instrument that rewards the curious musician.

These three new modes offer a further expanded pallette of additive synthesis, growly and wild textures, as well as softer sawtooth. These oscillator modes hail from Noise Engineering, a celebrated Eurorack module developer who specialise in the cutting edge of digital synthesis. Push the MicroFreak further than ever before with 3 powerful new oscillator modes - 'Bass, Harm and SawX', found in the Noise Engineering Virt Iter Eurorack module - plus unique unison modes and expanded on-board preset slots.
