A 16-band vocoder with accessible real-time voicing controls. Includes a removable, flexible microphone and a new aesthetic. The MicroFreak Vocoder Edition takes unhinged hybrid carnage and cranks it up a notch—singing to the tune of pandemonium and losing control

First impressions make a difference. MicroFreak has always been out to make a statement, and the Vocoder Edition is no exception. The control panel has been given a makeover. The center strip boasts a bold new Swan graphic, while a sleek white finish makes this limited-edition Freak stand out.

Accurate replication of the human voice via 16 frequency bands, and an easy-to-use gooseneck microphone for comfortable, instant vocoding.

Combine the Vocoder mode with MicroFreak’s wild features and manipulate your sound like never before. Sequence vocal melodies, modulate voice parameters with the LFO, and much more.

Digital Oscillator and Analog Filter

MicroFreak breaks the mold with a powerful multi-mode digital oscillator and a gritty analog filter that self-oscillates in LPF, BPF, and HPF modes. Nothing ordinary here.

LFO, Envelope, and Cycling Envelope

Deceptively simple, but hugely powerful LFO and Envelope to shape your synth sound. The flexible cycling modulator can act as an Envelope or an LFO with variable rise and fall times.

Transpose Buttons and Arpeggiator/Sequencer

Jump from dirty bass to screaming leads in a snap. The polyphonic sequencer with 4 mod tracks lets you shape any parameter—and Spice & Dice keeps things fun with unpredictable twists.

Assignable Mod Matrix

Virtually wire up 5 modulation sources and 7 destinations, with 3 user-defined points.

512 Preset Slots and OLED Screen

Easily navigate settings and presets on the crisp OLED screen. A fantastic mix of traditional and "not very traditional" epic sounds to explore, and plenty of space to save your own.

25-note PCB "Keyboard"

Super-expressive interface with poly-aftertouch sensitivity.

Headphone and Audio Output

A standard 3.5mm headphone output that's also TRRS-supports microphone and audio input (for the Vocoder engine). It also has a 1/4" jack connection for balanced line-level output.

Analog Clock

The 3.5mm clock input and output lets you sync with external gear and can be set to support various older clock types—24 PPQ, 48 PPQ, 2 PPQ, or even a single pulse per step.

CV/Gate Connections

Integrate MicroFreak into your creative ecosystem with its CV outputs. Sequence vintage synthesizers, modulate your Eurorack gear—the possibilities are nearly limitless.

MIDI Connections

Use these 3.5mm connections with the included MIDI breakout cables to connect to your favorite synths, controllers, drum machines, or any other MIDI gear.

PSU and USB Power

MicroFreak comes with a PSU, but no volt-hungry analog oscillators mean it can also be powered by USB.

Arturia’s heritage over the last twenty years has been to provide the best vintage sound combined with modern production capabilities.

Limited edition, limitless madness.
