Arturia MiniFreak 37-key Hybrid Synthesizer

DescriptionSound designers at Arturia are no strangers to meticulously and methodically deconstructing the elements of aural intrigue that make our favorite synths tick. The MiniFreak throws down the gauntlet with a 37-key hybrid design that utilizes a dual-oscillator 2-engine architecture to elicit dynamic, undulating sonics with multiple lanes of modulation. Its powerful, onboard FX engine, velocity-sensitive keybed, and analog filtering are engineered to inspire with responsive, dynamic polyphonic synthesis. Boasting over 20 playing modes across a 6-voice polyphony, the reimagined Freak modulation matrix abounds with artistic opportunity. To take this synth into another dimension, you’re also getting the MiniFreak V, a VST counterpart for use with your DAW. Hybrid sound, unbridled powerMiniFreak delivers hybrid sound with digital dual engines and an analog filter, offering deep modulation, expressive playability, and powerful onboard effects for limitless sonic creativity, all tightly integrated with the included MiniFreak V software.
