Arturia has announced availability of the MicroFreak Vocoder Edition, a limited-time, limited-quantity edition of the MicroFreak, combining the mind-bending Freak hybrid formula with a 16-band Vocoder mode, a gooseneck microphone, and a striking limited edition finish.
The synthesizer features 14 digital oscillators with variable mode, including Mutable Instruments Plaits engines and a new Vocoder mode.
Sing alongside glistening digital textures. Add paraphonic harmonies to external sound sources. Scatter spoken word across sprawling modulated sequences. This is the uniquely unpredictable MicroFreak formula but not as you know it.
