The Firmware V4.0 update brings a new engine to the MicroFreak, expanding its capabilities as a wavetable synth. The WaveUser engine gives music makers the opportunity to upload their own custom wavetables (or any WAV or AIFF file) into MicroFreak through the synth companion software, the MIDI Control Center.
The engine comes with 64 new presets, featuring “decimated waveforms, scanned sonic surfaces and evolving 3D soundscapes.” User-uploaded wavetables can be tweaked with Table, Position and Bit Depth controls.
Released in 2019, the MicroFreak is an affordable “algorithmic synthesizer” that boasts a 12-mode digital oscillator, analogue multimode filter and 25-key capacitive keyboard.
