MiniFreak Vocoder drops Arturia’s fearless hybrid synth into a new vocal dimension. It keeps the 6-voice architecture, dual digital engines and analog filter of the original, then adds a detachable gooseneck microphone and a 16-band vocoder engine with multiple FX options. Talkbox growls, android choirs or spectral pads - twist them further with the sequencer, modulation matrix and triple-slot effects for instant, mix-ready insanity.

16-band vocoder
Hook up the detachable mic or any external source, channel it through a classic 16-band speech synthesis engine. Blend the processed voice with MiniFreak’s oscillators, freeze formants for metallic drones, or drive talk-box growls through the on-board effects slots.

Hybrid polysynth power

MiniFreak’s twin digital sound engines feature over 30 modes, and can be used individually, stacked, or to process each other’s output for unique compound sonic behavior. Its 6 digital voices then collide with polyphonic analog filters, balancing digital crispness with a rich analog response.

Customizable & experimental sound design

MiniFreak’s expanded modulation matrix gives users even more control over shaping, transforming, and evolving their sound, with features like polyphonic ADSR envelopes, customizable multi-segment LFO shapes, FM & Ring Modulation, and the familiar Spice & Dice randomization.

Mix-ready stereo sound

With stereo outputs and 3 digital FX slots with over 10 FX types to choose from, users will have everything they need to push their sound over the edge while keeping it mix-ready, from stereo-enhancing chorus, to surgical 3-band EQ, to gritty distortion.

Expression, meet chaos

Despite its penchant for wild & exploratory sound design, MiniFreak is an instrument of expression. Its velocity-sensitive 37-note keybed with aftertouch and spontaneous Seq/Arp functionality makes it a dream to perform with, while its randomization features put playfulness first.
