Modes like Wavetable, KarplusStrong, Harmonic OSC, and 3 granular engines give adventurous musicians the chance to explore totally new, unheard possibilities.<\/p>\n<p>Like having dozens of synths in just one instrument, both wild-eyed newcomers and seasoned professionals will fall in love with MicroFreak\u2019s flexible, powerful synth engine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Small but fierce<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Physical modeling, wavetable synthesis, virtual analog, sample playback; there\u2019s nothing as complete and exciting as the MicroFreak oscillator on the market. It&#8217;s hard to believe from such a small synth, but here it is, ready for you to explore. Stimulate your creativity and reward your curiosity with a large, diverse sound palette. MicroFreak features 17 awesome oscillator modes, including 7 bespoke Arturia engines, 7 modes from Mutable Instruments, and 3 oscillator modes designed with Noise Engineering.<\/p>\n<p><strong>That\u2019s a funny looking keyboard<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Will it let you be expressive? Of course, it\u2019s not only pressure sensitive, but also offers poly-aftertouch. This means each key can control parameters in a different way depending on how much you touch.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use its USB, MIDI, and CV outputs to control instruments in your DAW and modular synths. This also means that you can also use MicroFreak as a controller to experience polyphonic aftertouch with cutting edge software instruments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Taste the spice, throw the dice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Record up to four automations, edit notes per step or use the innovative Spice and Dice sequencer functions to find happy accidents. Add randomization to create evolving, original patterns, and virtually rewire and reconfigure its signal chain and controls with the 5&#215;7 modulation matrix. This truly is a budget-friendly synth like no other.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The best of both worlds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Inspired by the trailblazing 12-dB SEM filter, you can make MicroFreak\u2019s filter scream or whisper to taste. The filter is state-variable, and can even auto-oscillate! You can use this is any way you like, from taking the edge of the razor-sharp wavetable sounds, or automating the cutoff by modulating it with keyboard pressure or the in-built sequencer.<\/p>\n<p>Wait. Did we mention that MicroFreak has a sequencer? And a mod matrix?
