03.01.02 Middle Row
- Middle row of the MicroFreak
03.01.02.01 Keyboard glide
- Glide smooths the pitch transition between notes. Fully counterclockwise, the transition is immediate; turning the knob clockwise increases the glide time. Microfreak/UG/10 Keyboard/03 Glide explains Glide in detail.

03.01.02.02 Digital oscillator
- The Digital Oscillator generates the MicroFreak's core sound. The Analog Filter, Envelopes, and LFO shape it. Type, Wave, Timbre, and Shape control its parameters; Microfreak/UG/06 Dig Osc explains them in detail.
- The Digital Oscillator
03.01.02.03 Analog filter
- The Analog Filter emphasizes or suppresses harmonics in the Digital Oscillator sound, changing its timbre. Cutoff sets where filtering begins; Resonance emphasizes frequencies near that point. Microfreak/UG/07 Filter explains the filter in detail.
- The Analog Filter
- The three filter types
- Low-pass (LPF) attenuates frequencies above cutoff.
- Band-pass (BPF) attenuates frequencies above and below cutoff.
- High-pass (HPF) attenuates frequencies below cutoff.
03.01.02.04 Cycling Envelope
- The Cycling Envelope generates modulation signals for destinations in the Matrix. Unlike a standard envelope, it can retrigger after its last stage finishes. Microfreak/UG/09 Envelope Gen covers its controls.
