Arturia - MicroFreak Synthesizer Keyboard - 25-Key Hybrid Synth with PCB Keyboard, Wavetable & Digital Oscillators, Analog Filters Blue

Great fun for a novice. Great for experimenting, good connectivity and great value.

This is quite simply the best synth in my collection. What you can do with this synth, is amazing. Pretty much any sound you can think of, can be reproduced in this. With the added sequencer, and arpeggio stage. Plus you can really creative with the Digital oscillator. I absolutely love the touch keys, makes it not compete with mini keys, as I don't generally like them anyway, compared to full size keys. My only slight issue is the mono out; you need an effects box, or run through a DAW with effects. But I'll take that, as it's soooo good! Love it, makes me want more Arturia stuff....

This machine is mind blowing; capable of creating any sound you need... A worthy addition to any studio... Very easy to learn with the right patience and YouTube videos.... 9.5/10

I love Arturia products - good quality, lots of vesatility and excellent after sales support. I also have other great synths from a variety of manufacturers, but for sheer, straight out of the box fun you won't beat this. It's easy enough for beginners to get going straight away, but it's also packed with features to keep experinced synth users happy - some so unusual I don't think you'll find them anywhere else, and it sounds fantastic.How Arturia have put this on the market at such a giveaway price is beyond me. The online manual is crystal clear as well - everything is explained in detail, but sometimes with simpler explanations as well for beginners.To be fair I'm not too keen on the ketboard but so what- I know lots of people love it. Anyway all you need is a midi lead and the supplied adapter to connect it to a controller keyboard if that's what you want.If you're considering on I'd say get it. You won't regret it.

Wonderful synth. Above & beyond expectations. However...THAT plug. Non-UK, ergo, useless. Would mind, but, I did pay for it. So I should expect it it be appropriate.

Brilliant bit of kit and great price. Get one!!! 😎

Great for the price..but be prepared for some time investment to get the most out of it.

Lots written about how great this synth is especially with the software updates from Arturia which make it even better and I totally agree. My review is about the customer service from Arturia rather than the synth itself. Somehow the midi input socket broke on mine after about 3 months ( I think it became detached on the inside of the casing). Unable to return via Amazon as it was over 30 days so after a fair bit of navigating on Amazon's return process it took me a link to Arturia. Sent them an email and got a reply back same day requesting a copy of my invoice/ receipt, description of the issue and pics or video of the problem. After a couple of days I received a UPS postage slip and advice on how to return it to Arturia in France (I am in the UK) .Synth was back in week all fixed. Great product backed by great service.
