Arturia MiniFreak

Hybrid polyphonic synthesizer that combines two digital synthesis engines

Arturia MiniFreak is a hybrid polyphonic synthesizer that combines two digital synthesis engines with analog filters, stereo effects, advanced modulation options, sequencer and a very good 37-key slim keyboard. It is an instrument of exquisite workmanship that brings one of the greatest hits of the French house of recent years, the MicroFreak, to a new level of playability.

MiniFreak’s dual digital synthesis engine has more than 20 different modes and can be used individually or in cascade, also to process the output of each of the two synth engines to obtain an even more powerful and effective result. The 6 digital voices interact perfectly with the analog filters, creating a total and perfect balance between the cleanliness of the digital sound and the richness of sonority guaranteed by the analog circuit.

The MiniFreak’s extended modulation matrix provides control over every single parameter of the sound, with unique features already successfully introduced in the MicroFreak such as Spice & Dice randomization. With stereo outputs and 3 digital FX slots with 10 effect types to choose from, you have everything you need to take your sound to new levels of expression, mix-ready, with chorus, distortion and other super high-end effects. quality.

Despite its penchant for research sound design, MiniFreak is also an extremely expressive instrument. Its 37-key velocity-sensitive keyboard with aftertouch and sequencer and arpeggiator features make it a perfect synthesizer for performance and a lot of fun to play, thanks in part to the unique randomization functions.

The MiniFreak hardware synthesizer also comes with a dedicated software counterpart, allowing you to fully integrate its unique hybrid sound and presets into a DAW and vice versa. Using completely identical architecture and synthesis engines, it offers a virtual experience mirroring that of the synthesizer itself, at no additional cost.
