Overview
The Arturia MicroFreak takes a different approach to compact synths, the most distinct of which is the use of a flat “touch plate” keyboard. It has 25 pressure sensitive keys on a flat surface, that also features polyphonic aftertouch.
The MicroFreak also houses a distinct combination of digital oscillators with analog filters, which together with its arpeggiator and sequencer allows for quite a lot of sonic flexibility. This enables it to have a “paraphonic” configuration, where it can sound multiple notes simultaneously like polyphonic keyboards, but all the notes are processed via a common oscillator and filter.
Finally you can save your settings in one of the 64 user presets, or you can revert to one of its 128 factory presets.
