Arturia MicroFreak Vocoder Synthesizer
Stunning value for money from BAX. Best price around and very quick delivery to UK by UPS. Parcel was tracked and delivered a day early!
As this is a European site, products normally come with a Euro plug, meaning fiddling with adapters here in the UK. Not here! BAX included a full mains lead as an additional item in the delivery with a UK plug.
The microfreak has exceeded expectations and doesn’t have a competitor at this price (I paid £239 in a pre-Christmas special).
I was sceptical of the touch keyboard but is is brilliant - extremely tactile, and there are ridges between the keys to stop accidentally pressing multiple keys at once.
This will go alongside my analogue set up to add a bit of spice and weirdness (the range of sounds and tones is infinite - with classic synth sounds to FM style synthesis. The MIDI in and out are 3.5 mm jacks, but the unit come with two 3.5mm to MIDI converter cables so no issues.
I haven’t used the vocoder yet as I’m still enjoying playing with the sound synthesis for the keyboard- but the microphone fits well, if a little short which means leaning over the keyboard to speak. However, it means that the whole setup is portable, and you can plug-in your own microphone if you wish.
Buy one!!
