Arturia MICROFREAK-VOCODER Experimental Hybrid Synth (Vocoder Edition)
The Arturia MICROFREAK-VOCODER takes experimental sound design to thrilling new heights. This revolutionary hybrid synthesizer combines a powerful 16-band vocoder with a detachable gooseneck microphone, all wrapped in a sleek new aesthetic that complements its wild sonic capabilities.
Powerful Vocoder Integration
The MICROFREAK-VOCODER features accurate replication of human voice via 16 frequency bands and an easy-to-use detachable gooseneck microphone for comfortable, instant vocoding. Additionally, you can combine the Vocoder mode with MicroFreak’s other features to manipulate your sound in unprecedented ways. Furthermore, you can process external instruments through the Vocoder mode for unique formant textures via the 3.5mm TRRS headphone input.
Unleash Your Voice
Sing alongside glistening digital textures or add paraphonic harmonies to external sound sources. Moreover, the simple, removable mic attachment lets you sprinkle your voice into the mix with quick position adjustment. Also, the fitting allows you to connect headphones simultaneously, while the utility menu lets you set preferred mic gain and noise gate settings.
Experimental Sound Design
The Vocoder engine features three waveforms – sawtooth, pulse width, and noise – while the Timbre and Shape knobs adjust the 16 frequency bands to transform your voice. What’s more, the MicroFreak goes beyond robot vocals with 16 new presets giving you instant access to android translations, crystalline harmonies, and vibrant formant sequences.
Digital Meets Analog
Behind the revamped appearance is the same lovable hybrid synth architecture. Sparkling digital and wavetable oscillators collide with velvety analog filters for an unpredictable sonic palette. Furthermore, the unique poly-aftertouch PCB keyboard combines with a distinctly freaky arpeggiator and sequencer for expressive performance control.
