MicroFreak

Edgy, distorted, hybrid, industrial

Joey Blush returns to deliver yet another preset pack, this time for MicroFreak, bringing his signature Blush Response sound to our favorite desktop hybrid. Channelling his extensive experience both as an artist and a producer (Fear Factory, How To Destroy Angels, Mindless Self Indulgence), Blush pushes MicroFreak into abrasive & dark sonic territory, perfect for industrial, techno, and other hard-hitting styles.

Filtered, analog, paraphonic, processed

Signature filtered, responsive, and rough-edged patches for MicroFreak, designed by Netherlands producer and sound designer Boris Bunnik, aka Conforce. Designed to translate your musical language, these patches make use of MicroFreak’s virtual analog, wavetable, and FM engines to respond with beautifully fizzy, pulsing, and plucky character.

Retro, vintage, pop, synthwave

MicroFreak hits 88mph and zaps you back to the sunglass-wearing, shoulder pad-loving, hairspray-obsessed golden days that were the 1980s. Enjoy presets ranging from bouncing analog leads, to glossy FM stabs, to wavetable pads supercharged with retro-sci-fi-punk color. Whether you want an infectious synth pop chorus or a touch of ‘80s cool in your soundtrack, MicroFreak is your new favorite time machine.
