Arturia - Pack MiniFreak + Capot
The Arturia MiniFreak synthesiser defies categories with its unique hybrid architecture. Two acoustic engines and 22 algorithms generate unheard-of timbres. Its 64-step sequencer and creative arpeggiator inspire spontaneous composition. The pack includes a protective Decksaver cover. Explore digital and analogue synthesis with this compact instrument with infinite potential.
Composition of the package
Presentation
The Arturia MiniFreak is no ordinary synth. Its hybrid architecture fuses analogue warmth with digital flexibility. Two independent sound engines with twenty-two oscillation algorithms become your acoustic laboratory. The second engine can even sculpt the first, creating harmonics that traditional synths don't produce.
The velocity- and pressure-sensitive thirty-seven-note Aftertouch keyboard responds to your most subtle nuances. Three digital effects slots process your signal in ten different ways. The modulation matrix, with its seven sources and thirteen destinations, opens up a vast field of experimentation. The OLED display guides you through your explorations in real time.
The 64-step sequencer and advanced arpeggiator transform simple patterns into complex scores. Four modulation tracks automate parameters during playback. The included MiniFreak V virtual instrument clones your material into your DAW. You develop your ideas on the hardware, then finalise your mix in the software.
The polycarbonate Decksaver cover protects potentiometers and connectors during transport and storage. Its dimensions match those of the synthesizer. Live musicians appreciate its sturdiness when slipping it into a bag. Studio producers use it as protection against accidents.
This synthesiser is for sound designers looking for original textures, electronic music composers and anyone curious about modern synthesis. It plugs directly into your computer via USB and communicates via MIDI with your other instruments. MiniFreak becomes the nerve centre of a modular setup, whether you're rehearsing at home or performing on stage.
