MicroFreak Patch Bank by Thoracius Appotite [Synth Presets]

The MicroFreak from Arturia combines digital wavetable synthesis with an genuine analog filter in a super light-weight package. In place of normal keys it features a two-octave capacitive-touch keyboard with aftertouch. The synthesis engine is very simple and lacks an effects engine, but there are enough settings and routing options to make it a formidable and flexible synthesis machine. As I often find, the factory presets leave a lot to be desired. The synthesizer is actually capable of so much more pleasing and interesting sounds. So here I present my custom presets for the Arturia MicroFreak… Analog Meets Digital I started by recreating the type of classic, retro '70s and '80s synth sounds I've done on my previous analog and virtual analog synthesizer banks. However, as I became more acquainted with the MicroFreak, I leaned more and more into the digital "waveforms" offered and discovered this is where a lot of the unique character on this synthesizer is to be found. The result is a healthy blend of analog-, digital-, and hybrid-style presets for your enjoyment and inspiration. Leads, pianos, polysynths, pads, strings, brass, bass, organs, arps, and more.
