Arturia MicroFreak – Hybrid Analog/Digital Synthesizer with Mutable Instruments Plaits
The Arturia MicroFreak is a cutting-edge experimental hybrid analog/digital synthesizer featuring digital oscillators, an analog filter, and a touch-plate keyboard, well suited for musicians, sound designers, producers, and DJs at any experience level.
Arturia collaborated with acclaimed Eurorack modular synthesizer experts, Mutable Instruments, and features their much-loved Plaits macro-oscillator capable of generating a vast number of tones and textures. Coupled with the other digital oscillator modes, such as Texturer, KarplusStrong, Harmonic OSC, and Superwave, the MicroFreak offers a remarkable amount of options and even offers paraphonic performance capabilities. Enjoy the same otherworldly sounds, modes, and parameter controls as the Plaits Eurorack module, but in a self-contained, performable hardware synthesizer.
