Microfreak just keeps getting better. Arturia continues to evolve the dinky, delirious Gear of the Year champion in a new firmware update, teaming up with LA modular brand Noise Engineering. The collaboration brings a few new features that expand the potential of the wacky one-oscillator wonder, pushing its sound further into the experimental digital realm.

Three new Noise Engineering oscillator modes are part of the update: Bass, SawX and Harm. These algorithms can also be found in Noise Engineering’s Virt Iter module and bring additive harmonic colour, wavefolding, phase modulation and more.

If you’re a proud owner of a MicroFreak, these firmware update comes free-of-charge via the Arturia website. If this collaboration between Noise Engineering and Arturia has made you ache for a MicroFreak of your own, you can pick one up for €299.
