The Arturia MicroFreak is an experimental hybrid synthesizer that pairs 21 digital oscillator modes with an analog state-variable filter, a 25-key capacitive touch keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch, and a modulation matrix. Compact enough for any desk yet packed with sound design tools from wavetable to granular processing, it rewards curiosity with a sound palette that stretches from lush pads to aggressive textures.
