A dynamic selection of sounds that contrast, collide, and conspire to create.

Borderline-soft synth flexibility with single-knob control.

Two engines, many voices. Classic sinewave to fearsome supersaw bass, pizzicato-plucked strings to dense stacked chords. MiniFreak’s engines pack a punch.

Modulation is galore. There’s nothing wrong with static sounds, but MiniFreak embodies the belief that there’s a joy to be found in movement and change. Make instant connections between MiniFreak’s plethora of modulation sources, common destinations like filter and oscillator pitch, and assignable destinations, and craft your own ever-changing, ever-surprising, and ever-inspiring sounds.

Magic happens where digital and analogue meet.

• MiniFreak embraces the crisp, glassy, sometimes aggressive sound of digital oscillators. But this machine isn’t taking sides; enjoy the best of both worlds with the warm, responsive, authentic sound of polyphonic analog filters. Tame harshness, create movement and make subtractive synthesis work for you.
• Every note you play will be shaped and colored individually thanks to analog filters for every voice, ensuring that each melody, chord, or percussive hit is as warm and vivid as the last.
• Sweep a filter yourself, crush or widen its envelope - but MiniFreak has other ideas. Send your analog filters into a modulation frenzy or keep them moving in line with your sequencer for filtering that goes further.
• Balance MiniFreak’s sound to sit perfectly in your mix, or target specific frequency ranges to unlock unique harmonics with low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass states.

Spontaneous sequencing.

• Blur the lines between sequencing and arpeggiation with wild results.
• When you need quick step-sequencing, instant note repetition, or rhythmic consistency, MiniFreak will answer the call. But if you want to go a step further - to interact with your melodies or impulsively change direction - this flexible sequencer & arpeggiator is armed to the teeth with creative tricks.

In perfect harmony: MiniFreak plays by the musical rules when you need it to.

Focus on getting creative and experimental with your sound without worrying about hitting the wrong notes or chord voicing mishaps. MiniFreak’s Scale & Chord modes keep tabs on your musical input so you don’t have to.

• Chord mode: Play full chord voicings with a single key thanks to this familiar musical feature. By default, Chord mode is set to a major triad, but you can input your custom voicings one note at a time, which will be saved to MiniFreak’s memory.
• Scale mode: Wave goodbye to wrong notes by locking MiniFreak’s keyboard and musical input to a scale of your choice. Choose from 5 pre-loaded scales, or punch in your own for melodies that never go outside the lines.
• Polyphonic, diatonic: Combine both Chord mode and Scale mode for creating full chord sequences, polyphonic ideas, and harmonized melodies that stay in the key at all times, making musical creativity effortless, enjoyable, and rewarding without fail.
