Arturia MicroFreak
Regular price $480.00You haven't lived until you've tried MicroFreak's etched touch plate. The touch plate is pressure sensitive and even offers polyphonic aftertouch : pretty amazing at this price point, we might add. While its price makes it the perfect unique sonic complement to any budget home electronic music setup, the Arturia MicroFreak's uniqueness also makes it a no-brainer addition to professional live and studio synth rigs. Pros will find it useful as an experimental sound design tool, much in the same way Eurorack modules are used.
Craft entirely new categories of sounds
MicroFreak's digital oscillator is the ideal tool to craft entirely new categories of sounds, while its analog filter delivers the warmth and punch you're looking for. MicroFreak can store up to 256 presets, so inspiration is never more than a button press away. Innovative synthesis is Arturia's raison d'etre. And MicroFreak lives up to the company's sterling reputation. It's an incredibly value-packed synthesizer that's like no other. Electronic music producers and rock bands will enjoy using MicroFreak to generate unusual textures and evolving sequences in a live setting and to add a refreshing grain of sonic unpredictability to their shows.
