collapse expand iconDescription

The limited-edition Arturia MicroFreak Stellar is a hybrid synthesizer that now combines digital oscillators, sampling, analog filters, quirky modulation, a uniquely flat PCB keybed and expressive sequencing with a subtly out-of-this-world aesthetic design. Discover the same loveable hybrid beast that sent the synth world into a spin—but primed for launch and ready for an interplanetary sonic voyage. MicroFreak Stellar features the same inspiring, bonkers sound but embellished with a unique space-age design.

Treat yourself to only the weirdest and most wonderful paraphonic synth sounds with MicroFreak’s multimode sound engine. Choose from numerous algorithms, including Wavetable, Chord, four new Sample and Granular engines and many more, and immediately customize your patches with four intuitive controls and real-time visual feedback. Change the way you play and unlock fresh musical expression with MicroFreak’s distinct PCB keyboard. It’s flat, it’s fast and it’s fit for everything from lightning-fast solos to instant arp creation. Not only is it pressure sensitive, but it offers poly-aftertouch too.

Analog Filter and Modulation Matrix

Unlock truly unique hybrid tones by combining MicroFreak’s digital sound engines with a crunchy resonant analog filter, inspired by the classic Oberheim SEM. With low-pass, band-pass and high-pass modes, you can make this Freak whisper, scream or launch into self-oscillating orbit. Quickly rewire MicroFreak’s architecture and delve deep into complex sound design with its modulation matrix, offering up to seven simultaneous destinations and 5 sources, including an ADSR envelope, cycling envelope and six-shape LFO.

Sequencing and Randomization

Blur the lines between sequencing and arpeggiation and create spontaneous melodies, motifs and rhythmic patterns on the fly. MicroFreak encourages musical exploration, expression and evolution with its unique Spice & Dice randomization feature, ribbon controller and four lanes of automation.

MicroFreak Gooseneck Microphone

Step up to the mic. A simple, removable mic attachment that lets you sprinkle your voice into the mix. A gooseneck design means quick position adjustment, with easy connection straight into the headphone socket. The fitting also allows you to connect headphones at the same time.
