This easy-to-use, affordable and unique synth is sure to find a home with the curious and adventurous musician. With a literal touch of the unusual, the Microfreak’s etched keyboard plate features a pressure-sensitive layout with polyphonic aftertouch – expressive enough to impress the most loyal of pianists. The synth’s digital oscillator stores up to 256 presets, allowing players to flit between them at the push of a button. Its acclaimed Plaits wavetable oscillator comes souped up with 4-voice paraphony and conjures up saccharine notes and shrieking chaos with equal ease. The Microfreak is a hybrid synth that combines wavetable and digital oscillators with analog filters. Additionally, the Circuit Mono Station offers extensive MIDI and analog control connectivity, making it the ideal hub for your hardware synth rig.

A grid of 32 velocity-sensitive pads offers full access to three onboard sequencers, which cover both oscillators and modulation options. Simple and straightforward tactile controls make sculpting monophonic and paraphonic tones an absolute breeze, and there are dedicated controls for every function you can see.

Stemming from a pedigree of electronic excellence, Novation’s Circuit Mono Station combines time-tested analog synthesis with the flexibility of a cutting-edge user interface.

It’s also important to note that not all synths come in keyboard form! There are tons of different builds and designs to suit your style and your budget. Different models also vary in monosynth and polysynth capabilities. Some models replicate analog tones, some digital, and others, a glorious blend of both. While incredibly versatile, not all synths are the same. When connected to a MIDI system, the unassuming synth is able to replicate the sounds of an entire orchestral arrangement or the latest K-Pop banger. Unlike the original it doesn't run on batteries (that analogue synth sucks too much juice).Synthesisers are an indispensable part of a recording studio. If you want something to use as a self contained groove box, the original (with its two poly synths and 4 mono sample channels) is the better bet. If you want an analogue mono synth with unique, tactile and very cool sequencer it's a great bit of kit. Pricewise, it's currently available brand new from Novation for £299 but often goes on sale for a bit less. The videos of it on Novation's site are good to see what its strengths are: They're very much for different things but share the very cool sequencer. It's not the same as the original Circuit- it's basically a mono synth with a sequencer and lots of attitude. It can also process external audio through the filters. The sequencer can also control external gear via MIDI as well as CV and is monophonic. You can program everything from the front panel as it's a fully fledged analogue synth.

It has three mono sequencers (2 control the oscillators independently so you can have paraphonic sounds) and the third can be used as a CV sequencer to control external gear or modulation sequencer.
NOVATION MONO STATION TIPS PATCH
It can do all the cool things like parameter locks for every step, for every parameter and also patch switching so you can have a completely different sound on every step. The mono station is more or less a Bass Station II with a Circuit sequencer.
