Arturia Microfreak

I've gone from the volca keys all the way up to the OpSix, and the microfreak still consistently - despite some limitations - ends up being a synth I always come back to. 64 step sequencer, vocoder options, amazing firmware updates from arturia that add entirely new synth sound engines, user wavetable import, amazing virtual patch bay, pressure sensitive keys that act as a modulation source, ~500 preset limit that are easy to swap out if you ever reach capacity. A cycling envelope that is different from the ADSR envelope and can be used for anything your imagination canthink up.This synth is mostly pros and few cons.

The cons? Can sometimes sound thin in a distinctly digital way - however it can achieve some nice low end with the right patch. Paraphonic, not polyphonic (4 voices share an LFO/envelope between them rather than being independent). Only one LFO.

Can't really think of any other cons. I'm sure one exists but it's clearly not glaring enough to make the very short list.

Oh right, no internal FX. Which I'm personally fine with, as I have pedals and and NTS-1 and a daw. Pairs wonderfully with the NTS-1.
