{"product_id":"arturia-microfreak-synthesizer-keyboard","title":"Arturia Microfreak Synthesizer Keyboard","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Arturia MicroFreak is a compact hybrid hardware synthesizer built for musicians who want a broad range of electronic sounds without a large keyboard workstation. Its digital oscillator section works with an analog state-variable filter, giving users a practical way to combine detailed digital textures with analog filtering. It is well suited to desktop studios, live electronic rigs, and modular-oriented setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMicroFreak supports 21 digital oscillator modes, including wavetable, virtual analog, physical-modeling, sample, granular, Mutable Instruments-derived, Noise Engineering-derived, and vocoder-based sound generation. This range lets it move from straightforward basses and leads to percussive tones, evolving textures, vocal effects, and experimental sequences. Up to four voices are available in paraphonic operation, while mono and unison modes support more focused parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 25-key capacitive PCB keybed is designed for fast touch response and supports polyphonic aftertouch. Each note can provide its own expressive pressure data, which can be routed internally or sent to compatible external gear. A capacitive touch strip adds another hands-on performance control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts sequencing tools help turn sound ideas into repeatable patterns. The 64-step sequencer stores two patterns per preset and supports four automation tracks, while Spice and Dice functions introduce controlled note and gate variation. A built-in arpeggiator offers Up, Order, Random, and Pattern modes for fast rhythmic parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMicroFreak can serve as a standalone sound source or as a control center within a larger setup. It provides USB, MIDI, clock, and CV\/Gate\/Pressure connections for computer, MIDI, and modular workflows. The balanced-capable main output and headphone connection make it simple to route into monitors, mixers, audio interfaces, or headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e21 Digital Oscillator Modes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Covers wavetable, sample, granular, physical-modeling, vocoder, and other synthesis approaches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnalog State-Variable Filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shapes the digital oscillator with resonant low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass filtering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e25-Key Capacitive Keybed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides a compact touch surface with per-key polyphonic aftertouch response.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour-Voice Paraphony:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enables chords and layered note patterns while sharing the analog filter stage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e64-Step Sequencer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Records two patterns and four automation tracks within each preset.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCV, MIDI, USB, And Clock:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connects with DAWs, MIDI hardware, and compatible modular equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMicroFreak uses a compact desktop format with a flat capacitive PCB key surface rather than conventional moving keys. Its front panel combines dedicated oscillator, filter, modulation, sequencing, and performance controls with an OLED display for parameter feedback. The touch-key design keeps the instrument shallow and portable while supporting pressure-based expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlace the unit on a stable desktop, keyboard stand shelf, or performance surface with access to its rear-panel connections. Connect the 1\/4-inch main output to a mixer, interface, or powered monitor system, or use the 3.5 mm headphone output for personal monitoring; power is available from the supplied universal PSU or USB. For MIDI hardware, use the included 3.5 mm TRS-to-5-pin DIN adapters, and use the configurable CV, Gate, and Pressure outputs with compatible modular or voltage-controlled instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ARTURIA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47991191863459,"sku":"MICROFREAK","price":271.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/5416\/9507\/files\/811YOmkATYL.jpg?v=1786666929","url":"https:\/\/nsiexport.com\/products\/arturia-microfreak-synthesizer-keyboard","provider":"NSI Export","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
