This special edition of the Arturia MicroFreak offers the same sonic arsenal of the original MicroFreak, including wavetable and digital oscillators, analog filters, a modulation matrix, and an expressive touch plate, and it ratchets up the sonic mayhem with a 16-band vocoder mode. The core of the MicroFreak’s adventurous sound is its digital oscillator and wavetable oscillators. With a slew of unique modes, such as Texturer, KarplusStrong, Harmonic OSC, Superwave, and sound engines from Eurorack pioneers Mutable Instruments’ Plaits module, the MicroFreak opens up possibilities far beyond the average subtractive synthesizer. When Arturia dropped the MicroFreak, synthesists at Melody House were blown away by the power of this diminutive and affordable synth, which is packed to the gills with advanced features — 64-step sequencer, arpeggiator, modulation matrix, chord mode with up to four notes of paraphony, and more. Now, with the vocoder, there’s little this freaky synth can’t do!
From Zapp’s “More Bounce to the Ounce” to Daft Punk’s “Around the World,” vocoders have mystified listeners for decades with their “uncanny valley” robotic vocalizations. Equipped with 16 stellar presets, the MicroFreak Vocoder Edition delivers those classic sounds and much more — from celestial harmonies to epic formant sequences. Want to craft your own madcap vocoder patches? No problem. The MicroFreak Vocoder Edition is eminently tweakable, with three selectable waveforms — sawtooth, pulse width, and noise — and timbre and shape knobs for individually sculpting the response of each of the vocoder engine’s 16 frequency bands. What’s more, you can process any external signal through the vocoder engine for glitched-out drums, otherworldly guitars and bass, and other mind-warping sound design applications.
