A 16-band vocoder with accessible real-time voicing controls, detachable gooseneck microphone, and a slick new aesthetic - the Arturia MicroFreak Vocoder Edition Synthesizer in White takes unhinged hybrid carnage and cranks it up a notch - sing to the tune of pandemonium and lose control.

16-Band Vocoder with Detachable Microphone

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

New Vocoder Engine with 16 Colorful Presets

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.

Connect External Sound Sources

Process external instruments and sounds through the Vocoder mode for unique formant textures - simply connect to the headphone input via 3.5mm TRRS.

Limited-Edition White Finish with Swan Graphic

A new look for your favorite Freak. The casing, control panel and center strip has been given a makeover to complement its radical new voice.

MicroFreak just got a New Voice, Yours

Sing alongside glistening digital textures. Add paraphonic harmonies to external sound sources. Scatter spoken word across sprawling modulated sequences. This is your voice and your sound - spiced, diced and warped beyond recognition.

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. The utility menu lets you set your preferred mic gain and noise gate settings. The human voice consists of complex, unique harmonics. A 16-band Vocoder design ensures that these harmonics are detected, filtered, and replicated accurately. Speak your mind and MicroFreak will respond in kind.

The Vocoder Engine

Arturia has created an entirely new mode to harness the Vocoder’s 16-band power. The Vocoder engine features 3 waveforms - sawtooth, pulse width, and noise - while the Timbre and Shape knobs adjust the 16 frequency bands to twist and transform your voice. The MicroFreak Vocoder Edition goes beyond robot vocals. 16 new presets give you instant access to android translations, crystalline harmonies, and vibrant formant sequences galore.

A New Dress Code

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 from the crowd - as if it didn’t already.

The Freak Within

Behind the revamped appearance and microphone attachment is the same lovable maniac that set the synth world spinning. Sparkling digital and wavetable oscillators collide with velvety analog filters. A unique poly-aftertouch PCB keyboard combines with a distinctly freaky arpeggiator and sequencer. Bathe your mix in sonic hysterics with the erratic mod matrix or the unique Spice and Dice randomizers. MicroFreak is out to break the rules. It's an unpredictable instrument for the adventurous. An adrenaline rush for the thrill-seeking musician. A mind-bending tool that dares you to stray from the path and think differently. Freak out.
