Arturia MicroFreak Vocoder Limited Edition

Arturia has introduced the MicroFreak Vocoder Edition. They tell us that it has a 16-band vocoder with accessible real-time voicing controls, a detachable gooseneck microphone and a slick new aesthetic. A spokesperson told us, "MicroFreak Vocoder Edition takes unhinged hybrid carnage and cranks it up a notch - sing to the tune of pandemonium and lose control."

Here's more details direct from Arturia...

Sing alongside glistening digital textures. Add paraphonic harmonies to external sound sources. Scatter spoken word across sprawling modulated sequences. This is your voice and your sound - spiced, diced and warped beyond recognition.
