Hybrid sound, unbridled power
The MiniFreak is a dynamic, responsive voltaic tapestry ready for acoustic exploration, harnessing years of cutting-edge invention and laborious study. The dual-engine architecture’s 22 oscillator modes inspire Virtual Analog, FM, Additive, and other synthesis to support the MiniFreak’s 6-voice polyphony. The engines may be sequenced to process the first to the second, giving your music more dynamic and distinctive behaviors as you play. With a strong 7 x 13 modulation matrix and analog filters and VCAs, the MiniFreak expands your sound possibilities.
Carve out your sonic signature
While the MiniFreak is brimming with explorational opportunities, mileage is magnified exponentially by its armature of sonic tools. Two LFOs, one envelope, and one cycling envelope per voice may be adjusted with multi-segment shaping. 10 FX choices, including 6-mode distortion, 3-band EQ, shimmering chorus, and more, may be set to insert or broadcast modes. Let your sounds breathe and undulate across the aural terrain with polyphonic ADSR, Spice & Dice randomization, or the distinctive FM & Ring Modulation — control the chaos.
Premiere performance possibilities
The MiniFreak’s 37-note Slimkey velocity-sensitive keybed, aftertouch, spontaneous sequencing/arpeggiation, and four modulation lanes of randomization make it a powerful stage and studio instrument. The MiniFreak’s real-time feedback, colorful OLED display, and strong, responsive knobs are deliberately and expertly created. MIDI in/out/thru, Clock in/out, audio input, L/R channel outputs, and a headphone output all available regardless of where the synth is in your setup.
