Arturia - MicroFreak Hybrid Synthesizer with 25-Key Capacitive Keyboard, Sequencer, Arpeggiator, and CV/Gate

Arturia MicroFreak is a hybrid digital-and-analog synthesizer designed for versatile music production and performance. It features 21 digital oscillator modes, a 12dB/octave analog state-variable filter, and includes oscillator modes inspired by Mutable Instruments and Noise Engineering, as well as a vocoder mode. The 25-key capacitive keyboard offers polyphonic aftertouch with monophonic, paraphonic, or unison modes for expressive control. A 64-step sequencer, arpeggiator with multiple modes, and Spice & Dice randomization enable evolving melodic and rhythmic patterns, while a modulation matrix, chord mode, and scale quantization provide flexible harmonic and performance options. Connectivity includes USB, MIDI In/Out, CV/Gate, and pressure outputs, allowing integration with DAWs, modular synths, and other hardware. MicroFreak also provides two patterns per preset and four automation tracks, making it suitable for studio, live, or portable setups.

• Hybrid Digital & Analog Synth Engine: MicroFreak combines 21 digital oscillator modes with a 12dB/octave analog state-variable filter. It Includes oscillator modes inspired by Mutable Instruments and Noise Engineering, as well as a vocoder mode. This hybrid design allows hands-on sound creation and exploration across electronic, digital, and modular setups.
• 25-Key Capacitive Keyboard with Poly-Aftertouch: The flat PCB-style keyboard offers polyphonic aftertouch, responding individually to key pressure. Switch between monophonic, paraphonic, or unison modes to shape dynamics, modulation, and expression. Ideal for expressive synth lines, chords, and live performance control.
• Sequencer, Arpeggiator & Pattern Tools: Capture melodic or rhythmic ideas with the 64-step sequencer, two patterns per preset, and four automation tracks. Use the arpeggiator in Up, Order, Random, or Pattern modes, and apply Spice & Dice randomization to create evolving sequences and dynamic musical textures in real time.
• Modulation, Chord & Scale Control: Five modulation sources can be assigned to seven destinations using the built-in matrix. Chord mode triggers preset shapes on any key, while scale quantization locks notes to a selected scale. These tools provide harmonic consistency and flexibility when performing, composing, or sequencing.
• Extensive Connectivity & Compact Design: MicroFreak includes USB, MIDI In/Out, CV/Gate, and pressure outputs for integration with DAWs, modular synths, and hardware. At 55 x 311 x 233 mm and 1.02 kg, its compact design fits in studios, on portable rigs, and on live stages, offering versatile options for music production and performance.
