Small but fierce｜轻巧规格，重磅性能

MicroFreak packs so much in to such a compact instrument, you'll wonder how we did it. We'd love to say it was magic, but it was pure skill and passion.

MicroFreak精巧的体积下蕴含着无比丰富的功能，简直令人难以置信。虽然我们很想承认我们使用了魔法🪄，但实际上只是精湛技术与满腔热情共同孕育出的产物。

Physical modeling, wavetable synthesis, virtual analog, sample playback; there’s nothing as complete and exciting as the MicroFreak oscillator on the market. It's hard to believe from such a small synth, but here it is, ready for you to explore. Stimulate your creativity and reward your curiosity with a large, diverse sound palette. MicroFreak features 17 awesome oscillator modes, including 7 bespoke Arturia engines, 7 modes from Mutable Instruments, and 3 oscillator modes designed with Noise Engineering.

物理建模、波表合成、数字化模拟电路、采样回放；市场上尚未有任何一款合成器，能像MicroFreak的振荡器这般功能全面且新颖前卫。在如此小巧的设备中塞入如此丰富的功能，很多人认为是天方夜谭，但MicroFreak做到了，它就在这里等待您深入探索。MicroFreak提供了一块色彩缤呈的声音调色板，既能点燃您的创造激情，也能满足您勇于探索的好奇心。该设备配备有17种出色的振荡器模式，其中7种由Arturia的定制引擎驱动、7种源自于Mutable Instruments厂牌、另外3种由Arturia团队与Noise Engineering团队合作开发。

That’s a funny looking keyboard｜妙趣横生的触摸式键盘

That’s right, it is. It isn’t really even a keyboard. It’s a PCB. Super-flat, with no moving parts. Will it track lightning-fast synth solos? You bet. Better than a traditional keyboard, actually.

没错，如您所见，这压根就不能称之为键盘。就是一块超级薄，没有任何活动部件的印刷电路板。那在演奏合成器时，这种键盘能够迅速响应手部动作嘛？当然可以。说实话，比传统的键盘还要跟手。

Will it let you be expressive? Of course, it’s not only pressure sensitive, but also offers poly-aftertouch. This means each key can control parameters in a different way depending on how much you touch.

它可以在您演奏时协助您表达情感嘛？当然，这块键盘不仅能够感应压力，而且还提供了复音触后功能。因此，您可以通过改变触控方式，精细调控每一个按键的参数。

You can also use its USB, MIDI, and CV outputs to control instruments in your DAW and modular synths. This also means that you can also use MicroFreak as a controller to experience polyphonic aftertouch with cutting edge software instruments.

您还可以利用MicroFreak的USB接口、MIDI接口以及CV输出接口扩展设备使用场景，控制DAW中的软音源或模块化合成器。也就是说，您可以将MicroFreak用作控制器，与前沿软件乐器相配合，体现前卫的复音触后功能。

Taste the spice, throw the dice｜还不够狂野？来掷个骰子

MicroFreak is packed with unique, exciting features that let you create music with a fresh perspective.

MicroFreak充满了既与众不同，又能够让人眼前一亮的新颖功能，能让您以全新的视角进行音乐创作。

Record up to four automations, edit notes per step or use the innovative Spice and Dice sequencer functions to find happy accidents. Add randomization to create evolving, original patterns, and virtually rewire and reconfigure its signal chain and controls with the 5x7 modulation matrix.

MicroFreak的音序器最多能够记录四种参数的自动化变化，并且支持编辑每一步的音符，或利用创新的Spice和Dice功能发掘意外的灵感。这类随机化功能能够生成不断演变的原创乐句段落，与此同时您还可以使用5x7大小的调制矩阵重新布线并配置信号链及控制对象。

This truly is a budget-friendly synth like no other.

这绝对是一款独树一帜且性价比极高的合成器。

The best of both worlds｜强强联手

Even though MicroFreak has a digital oscillator at its heart, “opposites attract” as the saying goes. That’s why we’ve included a lush-sounding analog filter.

虽然MicroFreak的核心是一块数字振荡器，但俗话说的好 – 异性相荣。因此，我们还为这款设备配备了一块极具表现力的模拟滤波效果器。

Inspired by the trailblazing 12-dB SEM filter, you can make MicroFreak’s filter scream or whisper to taste. The filter is state-variable, and can even auto-oscillate! You can use this is any way you like, from taking the edge of the razor-sharp wavetable sounds, or automating the cutoff by modulating it with keyboard pressure or the in-built sequencer.

MicroFreak中的滤波效果器灵感源自于开创性的12-dB SEM滤波器，可以根据您的需求塑形出尖锐或温润的音色。滤波效果器具备多种工作模式，甚至能够实现自振荡。您可以利用此功能润色棱角分明的波表声音，或者使用键盘压力及内置的音序器对截止频率实现自动化处理。

Wait. Did we mention that MicroFreak has a sequencer? And a mod matrix? Things are about to get seriously interesting...

等等，我们提到MicroFreak还配有音序器和调制矩阵了吗？总之，超多趣味功能等待着您的探索和发现……

MASSIVE ATTACK gets creative

I think Arturia’s MicroFreak is a very special synthesizer, the best of two worlds converging. Although most synthesizer developers have opted for the world of modularity or analog, in this synth we can find a series of digital oscillators that are complemented by analog effects.

我认为Arturia MicroFreak是一款非常独特的合成器，完美地融合了模拟技术与数字技术的优势。大部分合成器开发者都倾向于进军模块化合成器领域或模拟合成器领域，但是MicroFreak却走上了不同的道路，采用数字振荡器核心，并搭配了模拟效果器进行功能补足。

Noise Engineering
Meets MicroFreak

They’re out to cram as much functionality, flexibility, and fun into as small a footprint as possible, by whatever means necessary. In their own words, this often means: “Digital when it works, analog when it works.”

Arturia的设计师们绞尽脑汁，在保证这台设备尽可能轻巧的前提下，塞入了大量实用、灵活且有趣的功能。用他们自己的话来说就是：“物尽其用。”
