The Vocoder Edition is the full MicroFreak in a white enclosure with a Swan graphic, extended with a detachable electret gooseneck microphone and a dedicated Vocoder mode accessible directly from the Type knob.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eA vocoder that goes well beyond robot vocals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe 16-band vocoder engine analyses the microphone signal – or any external audio source connected via the 3.5 mm TRRS input – and resynthesizes it through the MicroFreak's oscillator. Three carrier waveforms are available: sawtooth, variable pulse width, and noise. The Timbre knob shifts the analysis band range while Shape adjusts filter bandwidth across all 16 bands – together they give precise control over vocal character, from intelligible speech to blurred, granular textures. Critically, the vocoder supports up to four simultaneous voices in paraphonic mode, enabling vocoded harmonies without an external harmonizer. The external input isn't limited to voice: drum machines, guitars, and synthesizers all undergo formant resynthesis, opening the engine up as a general-purpose spectral processing tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eModulation matrix and oscillator engines as a production instrument\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eBeyond the vocoder, MicroFreak offers 20 additional oscillator modes: wavetable, physical modelling via Karplus-Strong, granular (Texturer), Superwave, Mutable Instruments Plaits engines, and three Noise Engineering modes. The analog State Variable filter, based on the Oberheim SEM circuit, runs in LP, BP, and HP at 12 dB\/oct with self-oscillation. A 5×7 modulation matrix (5 sources, 7 destinations including 3 user-assignable), cycling envelope, 6-shape LFO with sync, and a 64-step sequencer with Spice and Dice randomization create a patch environment that evolves and breathes without external modules. CV\/Gate, MIDI DIN, and USB connectivity cover Eurorack and DAW integration simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e16-band vocoder with gooseneck electret microphone and TRRS input for external sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e21 digital oscillator modes: wavetable, granular, physical modelling, Mutable Instruments Plaits, Noise Engineering, and vocoder\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAnalog State Variable filter (SEM-style), LP\/BP\/HP, 12 dB\/oct, resonant with self-oscillation\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e25-key capacitive touch-plate PCB keyboard with polyphonic aftertouch\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePlay modes: mono, paraphonic up to 4 voices, unison, Chord Mode, Scale Quantize\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eModulation matrix: 5 sources, 7 destinations (3 user-configurable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLFO with 6 shapes (syncable), ADSR, Cycling Envelope (Envelope and LFO modes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e64-step sequencer with per-step editing, arpeggiator, Spice and Dice randomization\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e512 preset slots, 320 factory presets (including 16 dedicated vocoder presets)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eConnectivity: USB-C, MIDI DIN IN\/OUT, CV\/Gate OUT, Clock IN\/OUT, 6.35 mm jack (master out), 3.5 mm TRRS (headphones + mic combined)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOscillator: digital, 21 modes (including vocoder)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFilter: analog State Variable, 12 dB\/oct, LP\/BP\/HP, resonant\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eKeyboard: 25-key capacitive touch-plate PCB, polyphonic aftertouch, touch strip\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePolyphony: paraphonic up to 4 voices, unison, mono\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eVocoder: 16 bands, 3 carrier waveforms (saw, PWM, noise), Timbre and Shape controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMicrophone: electret, gooseneck, 3.5 mm TRRS (simultaneous headphone + mic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eModulation: 5×7 matrix, LFO (6 shapes, sync), ADSR, Cycling Envelope\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSequencer: 64 steps, 4 automation lanes, per-step editing\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePresets: 512 slots (320 factory)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eConnectivity: USB-C, MIDI DIN IN\/OUT, CV OUT, Gate OUT, Clock IN\/OUT, 6.35 mm jack, 3.5 mm TRRS jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePower: external power supply (included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWeight: approx. 1 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ARTURIA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58444575834444,"sku":"41865","price":341.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0769\/9854\/1644\/files\/ARTURIAMicroFreakVocoderEdition.jpg?v=1786979531","url":"https:\/\/noiseroom.lt\/products\/arturia-microfreak-vocoder-edition","provider":"Noise Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
