ARTURIA MicroFreak Stellar Limited Edition

Arturia is making the MicroFreak Stellar Limited Edition, a version of the now 'classic' Arturia MicroFreak that includes new granular synthesis and sampling engines, all with a striking look, available in a limited edition of just a few worldwide. Arturia's hybrid synthesiser, which has had and is having great success thanks to its perfect combination of digital oscillators with analogue filters and its capacitive keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch, is set to become a milestone in its category and this new limited edition is also perfect for collectors. This small but powerful synth also offers all the versatility of wavetable synthesis to create interesting new sounds with ease. Modes such as Texturer, KarplusStrong, Harmonic OSC and Superwave offer musicians the chance to explore totally new creative possibilities. Perfect for both young musicians and experienced professionals, MicroFreak's powerful and flexible synthesis engine includes physical modelling, wavetable and virtual analogue synthesis. MicroFreak's filter is based on the 12dB Oberheim SEM filter, is variable-state and also includes self-oscillation. There are no limits to the filter's handling, you can automate the cutoff by modulating it with keyboard pressure and the built-in sequencer, but also use it to emphasise the sounds generated by the wavetable synthesis. Record up to four automations, edit notes per step or use the sequencer's innovative Spice and Dice functions. Add randomisation to create original evolving patterns and virtually rewire and reconfigure the signal chain and controls with the 5x7 modulation matrix. Whether you're looking for your first hardware synthesiser or an insider looking for original sounds and a unique interface, MicroFreak is the synthesiser you need.
