Arturia MicroFreak – synthesizer with 25 touch keys, paraphonics, mod matrix and Plaits engine

The Arturia MicroFreak is a compact hybrid synthesizer that surprises with its versatility, digital oscillators, and analog filter. You get 13 oscillator types, including engines from Mutable Instruments (like the Plaits), plus wavetable, virtual analog, and physical modeling. Despite its small size, the MicroFreak delivers a broad and deep tonal spectrum, ranging from tight and melodic to quirky and experimental. The 25 keys aren't a standard keyboard, but a PCB touchpad with polyphonic aftertouch—ideal for expressive playing in a compact design.

With the built-in arpeggiator, 64-step sequencer, and unique Dice & Spice functions, you can playfully build varied patterns and complex rhythms. The 5x7 modulation matrix offers 35 possible routings for creative sound design, and you can record up to four automation lanes per preset. Thanks to MIDI, USB, and CV/Gate connections, the MicroFreak works seamlessly with your DAW, other synths, or modular systems. Lightweight, powerful, and attractively priced, this synth fits into any setup, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned sound designer.
