This is an excellent synth for those wanting to learn synthesis. I have had this in my clean smoke free studio for less than a year and never got to play it much, since I have two of these and selling this one. This does not come in the original box. Comes with two 3.5mm to midi jacks and USB cable.

The MicroFreak Stellar by Arturia is a hybrid synthesizer that combines digital oscillators, sampling, analog filters and modulation to create an array of weird and wonderful paraphonic sounds. Its multimode sound engine provides numerous algorithms to choose from, including wavetable, chord, sample and granular engines. You can customize your patches in real time using four intuitive controls and visual feedback.

Flat PCB Keyboard Unlocks New Expression

The MicroFreak Stellar features a distinct flat PCB keyboard that is pressure sensitive and offers polyphonic aftertouch, allowing for lightning-fast solos, arpeggio creation and more. Its unique design encourages you to play in new ways and discover fresh musical expression.

Analog Filter and Modulation Matrix

Combine the MicroFreak Stellar's digital sound engines with its analog filter, inspired by the Oberheim SEM, to achieve truly unique hybrid tones. Its filter offers low-pass, band-pass and high-pass modes, so you can make this synthesizer whisper, scream or self-oscillate. Its modulation matrix provides up to seven simultaneous destinations and five sources, including an ADSR envelope, cycling envelope and six-shape LFO for complex sound design.

Sequencing and Randomization Features

The MicroFreak Stellar allows you to blur the lines between sequencing and arpeggiation to create spontaneous melodies, motifs and rhythmic patterns on the fly. Its Spice & Dice randomization feature, ribbon controller and four lanes of automation encourage musical exploration and evolution.
