The Korena take

MicroFreak Stellar combines digital oscillator and sampling engines with an analog filter and a hands-on modulation system in a 25-key hybrid synth. The pressure-sensitive flat PCB keyboard adds polyphonic aftertouch, while the OLED display and four controls provide visual patch editing. With up to four paraphonic voices, a 64-step sequencer, four automation lanes, and Spice & Dice randomization, it supports both deliberate patch building and quickly evolving motifs.
