Le freak, c'est chic!

Anyone who loves extraordinary synthesizers simply has to experience the Arturia Microfreak. And this version is the special edition in a black design for Thomann's 70th anniversary. This compact hybrid synthesizer includes a digital oscillator with various synthesis processes. This unique audio source is combined with an analogue multi-mode filter and flexible modulation options. Other unique features include the velocity-sensitive, capacitive touch keyboard that offers unique modulation options while playing as well as the polyphonic step sequencer with a parameter recording facility. This produces unconventional sounds that are full of character and give each track its own individual touch - so despite its diminutive size, the MicroFreak gives you plenty of room for experimentation.

An oscillator like no other

The heart of the four-voiced paraphonic Arturia Microfreak Thomann Edition is its digital oscillator, which handles 12 different synthesis processes including standard waveforms, wavetable synthesis, and FM as well as rare and extraordinary processes such as Karplus Strong synthesis, granular formant oscillator, and modal resonator. This guarantees an impressive variety of sounds, which is further enhanced by the fact that the oscillator type can be modulated. Modulation in general is one of the top features the Arturia Microfreak delivers: Modulation sources and targets can be easily connected with each other via a flexible matrix. What is more, the sequencer has four tracks for modulation data, so that fader movements can be recorded and played back.

Get your "freak" on!

The Arturia Microfreak Thomann Edition is a great tip for all synthesizer freaks who like to experiment with extraordinary synthesis processes and unique sounds. With its many different types of sound generation, it can create sounds that cannot be obtained from most other synthesizers, so if you want your music to get a very special touch, the Arturia Microfreak is the right choice. And thanks to the Microfreak's many operating elements, this variety of sounds can be easily explored without having to delve into endless menus. While other synthesizers with such a complex sound generation are often complicated to use, the Microfreak invites you to experiment right away. This black special Thomann Edition might also be interesting for collectors or users who just prefer the style over the regular model.

About Arturia

Arturia's success story began with software emulations of well-known analogue synthesizers such as the Moog Minimoog, Sequential Prophet-5, and Oberheim SEM. The popular software instruments included in the V Collection are still flagship products of the French developer today. Over time, Arturia has gradually expanded its range and now also offers a host of hardware devices, ranging from synthesizers and keyboard controllers to sequencers. Since then, the former software developer has thus also become a household name in the world of analogue synthesizers and other equipment.

A must-have for adventurous tone chasers

The compact Arturia Microfreak Thomann Edition can be easily integrated into any setup. It has USB and MIDI interfaces, via which it can be connected not only to DAW software but also, for example, to an external sequencer such as the Arturia Keystep. What's more, it is a great addition to an analogue modular system thanks to its CV/gate outputs and clock input/output and, with its extraordinary touch keyboard and its powerful sound, it makes a great impression on stage. A bold synthesizer for those who like to experiment and are looking for new sounds and ways of expression.

Ich habe schon länger mit dem Microfreak geliebäugelt, um mein kleines Heimstudio mi einem "hybriden" Synth auszustatten. Der Microfreak erfüllt in meinem Kopf das Profil, sowohl satte und verzerrte Sounds für Drum & Bass, aber auch modular und weich klingende Sounds für meine generative Ambient-Musik basteln zu können. Als dann die Thomann-Edition augetaucht ist, konnte ich nicht mehr widerstehen - und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht.
Das Teil klingt fantastisch, von analog klingenden Sounds bis kompexen, verzerrten Wavetable- und Granular-Sounds scheint alles möglich. Selbst (zugegen digital klingende) Drums und Percussion Elemente sind kein Problem. Man kann vermutlich ganze EPs mit dem Ding bauen ohne sich wiederholende Sounds zu benutzen.
Der Workflow ist zunächst gewöhnungsbedürftig - man findet sich aber m.E. schnell zurecht und kann die Matrix dann für das volle Potenzial des Geräts nutzen.
Abstriche würde ich nur in der Verarbeitung (viel "simples" Plastik) und der nicht vorhandenen FX-Sektion machen (da hilft im Zweifel aber auch ein Pedal oder die DAW nach) - das ist bei dem Preis aber Meckern auf hohem Niveau. Für das Geld bekommt man hier nämlich einiges geboten. Momentan auf jeden Fall der Hardware-Synth, den ich am meisten benutze.
Uneingeschränkte Kaufempfehlung - sowohl für Einsteiger ins Hardware-Setup als auch für erfahrene Nutzer, die noch eine kleine eierlegende Wollmilchsau im Studio gebrauchen können. :)
