Arturia - Pack MiniFreak Algorithmic Synthetizer + Capot
The Arturia MiniFreak is a hybrid synth that fuses warm analogue with innovative digital algorithms on a 37-key keyboard. The Decksaver cover protects your investment. With its dual acoustic engine and advanced sequencer, it defies convention. Create incredible soundscapes with this duo that really makes you want to play.
Presentation
Forget the boundary between analogue and digital! The Arturia MiniFreak merges them into an instrument with unbridled possibilities. Its first sound engine generates everything from meaty bass to complex strings. The second acts like a timbre sculptor, capable of granularising the signal in real time. This conversation between two technologies opens up a dizzying array of possibilities.
The personality of this synth comes from its modulation matrix. Two LFOs and a cyclic envelope interact with thirteen destinations. The 64-step sequencer doesn't just repeat: it evolves, varying melodies and textures on four automation tracks. The aftertouch of the 37-key keyboard adds immediate expressivity, for performances that vibrate with emotion.
The polyphonic analogue filtering section ensures constant warmth, even on experimental sounds. Three digital insert or send effects complete the processing. The external audio input and supplied microphone allow you to inject any audio into this transformation system. You can model the unexpected!
Designed for the inquisitive composer and the insatiable sound designer, MiniFreak is equally at home in the home studio or on stage. Its compact size travels effortlessly, protected by its bespoke Decksaver cover. With the MiniFreak V virtual instrument included, your workflow stays seamless between hardware and software. It's not a synthesiser, it's a creativity accelerator.

And why not connect a drum machine via the audio input? Your grooves will gain in vocal depth, and your sessions in assumed strangeness.
In the studio, the MiniFreak Vocoder slips perfectly into a sound design or soundtrack setup. It goes particularly well with an external tape delay or a creative looper, to elongate textures and pile up layers of modulated vocals like a science-fiction millefeuille.
