It is incredible how Arturia continues to support one of the best value for money synths in recent times. 10/10 ❤

Well done Arturia, I was a Microfreak early adopter and I couldn't believe this announcement. The previous firmware updates had already doubled the value of the device. I can't think of anything in my life that had so much value added after I paid for it. The sampling and granular modes could be a completely worthwhile separate instrument, but you have shown real class by giving it to existing customers. I salute your commitment to this platform, thank you sincerely❤🙏

I've literally been looking for an affordable chromatic sampler, and granular synth for years now. Its amazing to be told I already have one.

[cravensean]

I don't often say this to a corporation but thank you very much! How thoughtful! I've been eyeing sample players so this actually solves problems for me.

I literally bought one of these on Tuesday... I was already blown away that Arturia added Vocorder capability with a free update... now I see this?? There is no doubt I made the right choice in my synth purchase. I love it when companies have a long-term view of their products' life cycle. It creates a massive and fiercely loyal fan base...!

[ryancouldrey]

I bought the Freak on release and every few months it's like I get a whole new synthesizer delivered to my door for free (or in one case, a free vocoder). Absolutely wild stuff.

[Rekotek]

This is increddible! Arturia is the best, thank you a lot for supporting and developing “old” synths. Your engeneers and programmers are geniouses.

[Volcaniced]

Fantastic Presentation by Lena. One thing missed: New space for Preset is 512 !!

[IISGII]

Can't wait to see what you have in store for the MiniFreak!

[neilorose]

Wow! I got the MicroFreak two months ago, and it was already such a rewarding purchase. Thank you for making it even more awesome! <3

[Darklud_Productions]

I truly do love you guys, Arturia. Please, always stay on the good side of companies. Your continued support of hardware that you have had out for a while as free upgrades is astounding. In today's day and age this is one of my biggest pros with you guys. That and that your software is awesome as well. I own a MicroFreak, V Collecion, and EFX Collection (I cant remember the versions, whatever was available when this was written) and have loved just about everything I have gotten from them. Keep up the great work guys.

[i_never_asked_for_an_alias]

Wow, i don't know what i am more excited right now. The update or seeing Lena. <3

[floatinganarchychannel]

[semyonboyk]

Started with Microfreak, now I own Collection V and FX Collection. Arturia, you are awesome.

[davidallred]

Love how you continue to support the MicroFreak, I just wish you would do the same for the KeyStep Pro.

[OliverEvergreen]

best purchase ever. I didn't even expect new updates after minifreak's release. such a banger considering the fact that it has very unique keyboard with MPE-like modulation for each note separately.

[manuolej]

La synthèse granulaire dans mon Microfreak avec la V5, merci Arturia !

[tonynacho]

Best value synthesizer on the planet. Can't believe how much love this has been given - NEVER change Arturia 😍xxx

[kareljanda]

This is huge. The granular sounds amazing. The sampler will get handy too. I think I'll be hunting for additional Microfreak. Will be fun having two of them.

[mack_solo]

This is ssso cool! For months I've been looking at granular hardware synths on the cheap. Now I get granular AND samples on microFreak?! Fantastic! Thank You Arturia 🤗
