Arturia MicroFreak Stellar Hybrid Synthesizer, Limited Edition

Arturia MicroFreak Stellar Hybrid Synthesizer, Limited Edition Overview

The Arturia MicroFreak Stellar Hybrid Synthesizer is a limited edition, space-age inspired version of the popular MicroFreak. With its distinctive grey exterior and unique cosmic graphics, this desktop synth is not just visually striking, but also features an exciting new firmware with four additional sampling and granular sound engines.

Like the best-selling original version, the Arturia MicroFreak Stellar is a powerful paraphonic desktop synth that combines digital oscillators and an analogue filter, offering a vast range of sonic possibilities in a portable footprint. Explore wavetable, FM, virtual analogue, harmonic, Karplus, noise and vocoder sound engines and create out-of-this-world sounds with intuitive controls and real-time visual feedback.

SEM-Inspired Analogue Filter

The hybrid nature of the MicroFreak Stellar allows you to blend digital sound engines with a resonant analogue filter inspired by the classic Oberheim SEM. Experiment with low-pass, band-pass and high-pass modes to make your synth sounds whisper, scream and launch into self-oscillating orbit.

Complex Sound Design Possibilities

Rewire the MicroFreak Stellar’s architecture with its comprehensive modulation matrix. With up to seven simultaneous destinations, three of which are freely assignable, and five sources, including an ADSR envelope, cycling envelope and 6-shape LFO, you can dive deep into complex sound design and discover an endless array of synth sounds.

Inspiring Sequencing

The MicroFreak Stellar’s sequencer and randomisation features, including the Spice & Dice function, ribbon controller and four lanes of automation, let you create melodies, motifs and rhythmic patterns on the fly, blurring the lines between sequencing and arpeggiation. Two sequence patterns can be stored on a per-patch basis, making the MicroFreak Stellar an excellent performance synth.

Unique Poly Aftertouch PCB Keybed

The unique PCB keybed of the MicroFreak Stellar offers polyphonic aftertouch and is pressure-sensitive, allowing you to change the way you play and unlock fresh musical expression. The PCB keyboard’s polyphonic aftertouch can be assigned to a wide variety of destinations within the MicroFreak Stellar and can also be used to control external MPE-compatible synths.
