Arturia Microfreak Synthesizer

Hybrid synth from Arturia blends wavetable and digital oscillators with analog filters. Features a unique poly-aftertouch flat keyboard. It adds controlled randomness to sequences.
MicroFreak features 12 awesome oscillators, 5 bespoke Arturia engines, and 7 modes from Mutable Instruments.
Even though MicroFreak has a digital oscillator at its heart, “opposites attract” as the saying goes. That’s why we’ve included a lush-sounding analog filter.
Inspired by the trailblazing 12-dB 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.
Wait. Did we mention that MicroFreak has a sequencer? And a mod matrix? Things are about to get seriously interesting...
MicroFreak is packed with unique, exciting features that let you create music with a fresh perspective.
Record 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 5 x 7 modulation matrix.
Will 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.

LFO

LFO: 1

An LFO, or low frequency oscillator, brings electronic sound to life. It adds movement and interest to synthetic sounds and effects, playing an important role in both subtle synthesis and bold sound design. However, you won't hear the LFO itself because it acts as a modulator. This means that it does not directly affect the audio signal, but adjusts other parameters such as oscillator pitch and filter clipping.

Oscillators: Yes

A powerful oscillator system allows users to create rich and variable sound textures. Oscillators can generate a variety of waveforms, including sine, square, triangle, and noise, allowing for creativity and experimentation.

Headphone Output: Yes

The headphone output allows direct connection of headphones for private listening. This output provides a convenient way to enjoy the sound without disturbing others or ambient noise.

MIDI Interface: Yes

It supports MIDI, allowing you to connect and communicate with other MIDI-compatible devices. This feature extends control and integration into the larger music environment, increasing flexibility and creativity in music creation.

Polyphony: 1

The polyphony of this instrument allows up to <%=tp_value % notes to be played simultaneously, providing rich and complex musical possibilities.

Number of Keys: 25

This instrument has 25 keys, equivalent to 2 octaves, providing a wide range of tones for a variety of musical applications.

Inputs

  • Clock IN (3,5 mm TS)
  • MIDI IN

Keyboard Type

  • Touch-Sensitive Capacitive Keybed
  • Polyphonic Aftertouch

Sequencer: Yes

The sequencer provides musicians with a tool for composing and arranging music, allowing them to create and edit musical sequences. This feature allows you to record and play back repeating patterns. This makes it easy to create complex rhythms and melodies. The sequencer also allows you to layer different musical elements on top of each other, sync with other devices, and adjust parameters in real time. This flexibility makes the sequencer an invaluable tool for producing music, experimenting with new sounds and creating original compositions.

Aftertouch: Yes

Aftertouch technology on the keys allows musicians to add a new level of expression to their playing. When a key reaches the bottom of its stroke, the pressure exerted on the key can continue to be sensed and used to control various aspects of the sound, such as vibrato, volume, or tone modulation.

Arpeggiator: Yes

The Arpeggiator transforms chords into sequences of individual notes played in various rhythmic and melodic patterns. Instead of playing the chords as a harmonic whole, the Arpeggiator breaks the chords into individual notes and plays them sequentially according to the selected algorithm.

Modulation: Yes

Modulation allows you to change different aspects of the sound in real time, opening up a wide range of creative possibilities. For example, it can affect the pitch of the sound, creating a vibrato effect, or it can change the amplitude of the signal, creating a tremolo effect. It can also adjust filtering to create smooth transitions between frequency bands and dynamic textures. Modulation can also be used to change the character of the sound depending on the time or intensity of playing, giving the sound a lively and moving character.

Sokat kutattam, tudtam mit vásárlok, és nem is csalódtam. A beépített effektek hiánya tényleg limitáló lehet, de az könnyen pótolható telefonos/számítógépes szoftverekkel, vagy effekt pedálokkal, más, beépített effektekkel rendelkező hangszerekkel. A decksaver (habár könnyen karcolódik) segít abban hogy bátrabban magammal vihessem táskákban, rendesen védi a portól, karcolásoktól, szobatársak ételmaradékától is. Sajnos nincs beépített aksi, de ha van megfelelő usb kábelem (olyan ami a nyomtatókhoz is kell) akkor tudom azzal is működtetni. Nagyon sokmindent tud, de eddigi tapasztalatom szerint egész könnyen bele lehet tanulni ha rászányja az ember az időt.

Mocný nástroj za tu cenu, po updatu na firmware 5.x umí i samply a především granulární syntézu, kláves jsem se trochu obával, ale nakonec je to naopak super kreativní prvek. Lze provozovat s USB powerbankou, takže je to i venkovní záležitost.
