Critic Reviews

Review: MFB Microzwerg

sonof8bits.com

The MFB Microzwerg is a semi-modular synth that impresses with its versatile oscillators and surprising modular functions, all at an inviting price point. While not a Moog, it offers great value with its plethora of patch points, making it a solid entry into analog synthesis. However, its semi-modularity limits some sound design possibilities, and the filter's resonance can be overly aggressive, necessitating external solutions for more refined sound shaping. Despite these drawbacks, it remains a worthwhile investment for those exploring the modular synth world.
