Arturia presents its MicroFreak community with a new Vocoder oscillator and with a new limited edition of the MF Synthesizer in white
Owners of the MicroFreak can consider themselves lucky. NAMM 2020 the big 2.0 drum and chord update, a new editor from Momo, and now another free update. The new firmware update 2.1 transforms the MicroBrute into a versatile 16-band vocoder with accessible real-time voicing controls. The engine replicates the complex harmonics o the human voice.
The core engine is based on a carrier that consists of a sawtooth, pulse width, and noise waveforms. 2.1 not only brings you a vocoder but also a new external input that allows you to connect external sound sources to the MicroFreak. Arturia celebrates this new oscillator with a new MicroFreak Vocoder Edition. It’s white, has a orange touch keyboard, comes with a detachable gooseneck microphone, and is limited edition. Except for the new look and the microphone, all functions are identical to the black version.
Classic microphones with a TRRS connector can be used or you can upgrade your black beauty with Arturia’s gooseneck microphone which will be available in limited quantities.
