EXPERIMENTAL HYBRID SYNTH

A synthesizer like no other, MicroFreak is a unique, exceptional instrument that rewards the curious musician. It blends wavetable and digital oscillators with analog filters. It features a unique poly-aftertouch flat keyboard. It adds controlled randomness to sequences. This isn’t a revolution, it’s a mutiny.

Exciting presets

While exploring a new synth’s capabilities yourself can be hugely fun, it’s nice to be able to quickly browse some presets to get inspiration. MicroFreak contains 128 preset patches and lets you create, edit, and save your own, too! The clickable Preset knob makes selection, assigning, and renaming easy.

Classic synth features

With two unique envelopes and a syncable LFO, you can truly get hands-on with MicroFreak with dedicated control for each parameter. The Cycling Envelope lets you create an advanced looping mode, transforming it into an LFO with variable rise, hold, and fall times, with exponential, linear, or logarithmic curves.

Amazing connectivity

It features CV outputs, letting you send pitch, gate, and pressure signals to any external or modular synth that’s CV/Gate compatible. You can also connect it to your DAW via USB, or use the included MIDI breakout cables. This lets you connect it to your favorite controller keyboard, or use MicroFreak’s sequencer to control a different synth, for example.

Powerful modulators

That’s right. Working hand-in-hand with the modulation matrix, the modulators can be assigned to each other, letting you get really experimental. This is unheard of in a low-cost synth.
