Description :
~New engines, effects and much more~
MiniFreak Spontaneous algorithmic synthesizer MiniFreak is a polyphonic hybrid keyboard,
which combines dual digital sound engines with analog filters, playful modulation,
instinctive sequencing and rich stereo effects to produce sounds
which are immediately curious, beautiful and chaotic in equal measure.
In the rift where digital meets analog, engine with engine, hardware with software,
expression with impulse, and reality with boundless imagination, inhabits MiniFreak.
Main characteristics :
Full hybrid synth power right in your DAW
Choose the Freaky stream that suits your style: Enjoy indistinguishable hybrid sound and seamless integration between hardware and software with the VST version of MiniFreak.
Dual sound engines
Start with two sound generators, including all the modes from MiniFreak itself, and combine them as you wish. Stack, mix or mash one engine with another for great wild results.
Analog Response
We’ve modeled MiniFreak’s polyphonic multimode filters in great detail to truly bring the fusion of digital and analog audio to life in your DAW. Catch the crunch, savor the warmth and embrace the scream.
Express yourself
The MiniFreak is an instrument made to be played; It’s only fair that its software counterpart matches this. Create sequences and automate expression in your DAW or control it with MiniFreak itself for a seamless and expressive workflow.
Mind-blowing modulation
Unlock MiniFreak V’s advanced panel to reveal the modulation matrix, allowing you to rearrange and create relationships between parameters. Tap into any aspect of the MiniFreak V’s sound and make it your own.
Combining Seq and Arp
Blur the lines between sequencing and arpeggiation with this intuitive, powerful, and sometimes unpredictable feature that lets you create playful melodies, patterns, and rhythmic ideas at your fingertips.
Stereo perfection
Like its hardware cousin, the MiniFreak V has 3 FX slots with 9 FX to choose from, so you can embellish and color your sound with any combination of rich, delicate or explosive FX in full stereo.
