From adventurous newbies to experienced synthesists, the MicroFreak enables you to explore new sonic frontiers.

Endless possibilities with wavetable synthesis

Arturia partnered with renowned Eurorack manufacturer Mutable Instruments to include their acclaimed Plaits wavetable oscillator with added 4-voice paraphony.

And MicroFreak lets you work fast, too, with advanced features like real-time sequence creation and randomization.

Craft entirely new categories of sounds

MicroFreak’s digital oscillator is the ideal tool to craft entirely new categories of sounds, while its analog filter delivers the warmth and punch you’re looking for.
