Arturia MicroFreak Stellar - Limited Edition

The Arturia MicroFreak Stellar is a homage to the unconventional, a synthesizer that pushes the boundaries of what's possible. It's not just an instrument but an experience that engages the senses and sparks creativity. This limited edition model embodies a fusion of digital versatility and analog warmth, packaged in an aesthetic design that feels both contemporary and futuristic.

Imagine being able to explore virtual-analog sounds, wavetable, FM, and vocoder sounds, all in one synthesizer. The MicroFreak Stellar does exactly that. With algorithms from Mutable Instruments and Noise Engineering, typically found in standalone desktop keyboards, this synthesizer takes sonic diversity to a new level. A free firmware update further expands the spectrum with sampling and granular engines.

The V5 firmware update introduces 21 different oscillator modes that allow you to shape your sound larger, deeper, and more unconventional than ever before. From classic synth sounds to experimental textures, everything is possible. You can mold sounds that deviate from traditional sonic structures and explore new musical territories.

The design of the MicroFreak Stellar is a true eye-catcher. Its all-black exterior is complemented by intricate space-inspired graphics that reflect the synthesizer's controls. It's an instrument that makes a statement not only sonically but also visually.

Alongside the MicroFreak Stellar, a free firmware update has been released for all MicroFreak users. This update introduces the ability to import your own samples and brings a sampler engine and three granular engines with it.

Beneath its space-like surface lies a combination of sparkling digital and wavetable oscillators and a smooth analog filter. The unique poly aftertouch PCB keyboard, combined with a distinctive arpeggiator and sequencer, allows you to immerse your mixes in a frenzy of sonic fantasies. The MicroFreak is an instrument that challenges you to break rules, embrace the unpredictable, and think differently.

The MicroFreak Stellar is an adrenaline rush for the musical explorer, a tool that encourages you to veer off the beaten path and create your own musical universe. Experience a world where sound knows no boundaries.
