> Arturia have announced the release of a free firmware update for the MicroFreak, their four-voice digitalanalogue hybrid synth. The V4.0 update brings a new engine to the MicroFreak, expanding its capabilities as a wavetable synth. The WaveUser engine gives musicians the chance to upload their own custom wavetables (or any WAV or AIFF file) into MicroFreak through the synth’s companion software, the MIDI Control Center.
The engine comes with 64 new presets, featuring among other things, “decimated waveforms, scanned sonic surfaces and evolving 3D soundscapes.”
