Minifreak Key Features
The power of a hybrid polyphonic synthesizer
MiniFreak's two digital sound engines offer over 20 different modes and can be used individually, in combination or to process each other's output, creating a complex and unique sonic behavior. Then its 6 digital voices interact with polyphonic analog filters, balancing digital clarity with rich analog response.
Customizable, experimental sound design
MiniFreak's extensive modulation matrix gives users greater control to shape, transform and evolve sounds, thanks to simple features such as polyphonic ADSR envelopes, customizable multi-segment LFO waveforms, FM and ring modulation, and Spice & Dice randomization.
Stereo sound ready to mix
With stereo outputs and 3 digital FX slots offering a choice of 10 effect types, users have all the resources they need to push their sound to the extreme, while keeping it ready to be integrated into a mix. Various options such as stereo chorus, precise 3-band EQ and granular distortion further enrich the creative possibilities.
Unlimited sound exploration
Although the MiniFreak is renowned for its ability to create wild, exploratory sounds, it remains an instrument for expression. Its 37-key velocity- and aftertouch-sensitive keyboard, combined with its spontaneous Seq/Arp functionality, make it a dream instrument. What's more, its randomization capabilities emphasize playful creativity when playing.
