16-band vocoder
Hook up the detachable mic or any external source, channel it through a classic 16-band speech synthesis engine. Blend the processed voice with MiniFreak's oscillators, freeze formants for metallic… read more drones, or drive talk-box growls through the on-board effects slots.

Hybrid polysynth power
MiniFreak's twin digital sound engines feature over 30 modes, and can be used individually, stacked, or to process each other's output for unique compound sonic behavior. Its 6 digital voices then collide with polyphonic analog filters, balancing digital crispness with a rich analog response.

Customizable & experimental sound design
MiniFreak's expanded modulation matrix gives users even more control over shaping, transforming, and evolving their sound, with features like polyphonic ADSR envelopes, customizable multi-segment LFO shapes, FM & Ring Modulation, and the familiar Spice & Dice randomization.

Mix-ready stereo sound
With stereo outputs and 3 digital FX slots with over 10 FX types to choose from, users will have everything they need to push their sound over the edge while keeping it mix-ready, from stereo-enhancing chorus, to surgical 3-band EQ, to gritty distortion.

Expression, meet chaos
Despite its penchant for wild & exploratory sound design, MiniFreak is an instrument of expression. Its velocity-sensitive 37-note keybed with aftertouch and spontaneous Seq/Arp functionality makes it a dream to perform with, while its randomization features put playfulness first.

MiniFreak V
MiniFreak comes with a dedicated VST counterpart, letting users totally integrate its unique hybrid sound and presets into their DAW productions and vice versa. Using identical sound engines and architecture, it offers a mirrored virtual experience of the synth itself, at no extra cost.
