More factory presets and slots
The number of preset slots has increased from 256 to 384, giving you more legroom to make MicroFreak your own - this even includes 96 more factory presets for more musical madness straight out the box.

The analog effect plugin, available for free until December 29th 2020.
PRESS RELEASE
DECEMBER 2020
Dear partner,
Thank you for being an important part of the international Arturia community, and for your continued support throughout this challenging year - we wish you a wonderful holiday season and a creative 2021!

To celebrate, Arturia is proudly offering a free festive gift for your customers: Chorus JUN-6, a circuit-perfect emulation of the timeless Juno synthesizer chorus - completely free! Until December 29th 2020.

For review enquiries please e-mail: [email protected]
For Arturia info contact: [email protected]
EMBARGO until Wednesday December 23rd, 2020 - 9AM CET
To get you into the holiday spirit, Arturia are offering a free gift for musicians, producers, and sound designers worldwide!
Introducing Chorus JUN-6.
Chorus JUN-6 is modeled after the iconic analog stereo effect found in the Roland Juno series of analog polysynths from the ‘80s - your new favorite mix-widening, sound-enhancing tool.

You have until December 29th 2020 to download and enjoy your new studio must-have, free of charge.
Not just another chorus…
The Juno chorus is unique in its popularity - rather than being a pedal, a rack-mounted unit, or a secret studio weapon, it was built into the classic ‘80s synths of the same name.
Iconic vintage sound
A rich stereo sound favored by everyone from Tangerine Dream to Tame Impala, yours to enjoy.
Simple to use
Immersive swirling color at the touch of a button (or two) - no menus needed.
Authentic BBD character
Faithfully modeled to reproduce the unmistakably warm organic grit of analog circuitry.
Modern flexibility
Additional controls have been added for when you want to fine-tune your sound.
Ultimately, Chorus JUN-6 brings this beautiful analog vintage effect into your modern production workflow, faithfully reproduced with component-level accuracy, and tweaked with some flexible enhancements. Chorus JUN-6 can be used inside any VST, AAX, or AU compatible recording software.

THIS PLUGIN IS AVAILABLE FOR FREE IN FULL
UNTIL DECEMBER 29TH 2020.
