Spontaneous algorithmic synthesizer

MiniFreak 49 is a 6-voice hybrid synthesizer: two digital engines, an analog filter on every voice, and a pressure-sensitive touch matrix that puts modulation, macros and presets under your fingers. Blur the line between expression and experimentation, and discover new sweet spots where control, instinct and the unexpected collide.

_Explore the unconventional

Some synths want to be understood. This one wants to be provoked. Two engines colliding, an analog filter you can push until it howls, six voices scattering across the stereo field, and a pressure-sensitive matrix that turns every swipe and press into sonic motion. MiniFreak 49 doesn't hold your hand. It gives you 49 keys and asks what you're going to do with them.

Push every sound further

Filter FM drives the analog filters from smooth to feral. Voice Panning opens individual voices into stereo space, while deep modulation keeps patches moving. Direct controls for both engines and three FX slots make shaping and disrupting sound immediate.

The MiniFreak formula:

• Semi-weighted keybed
  Now with 49 full-size keys with velocity and mono aftertouch bringing responsive dynamics and expression to every phrase.
• Two engines, 30+ modes
  Virtual analog to granular, with algorithms by Arturia, Mutable Instruments and Noise Engineering.
• Per-voice analog filters
  Low-pass, band-pass and high-pass modes, with resonance reaching self-oscillation.
• Modulation & expression
  Two LFOs, a cycling envelope and 64-step sequencing with four modulation lanes, plus Spice & Dice, Chord and Scale modes.
• Three stereo FX slots
  13 algorithms per slot, including chorus, reverb, distortion, Super Unison and two vocoders.
• Software and connectivity
  MiniFreak V included, plus MIDI, USB-C, clock, audio input and stereo outputs.

New with 49:

• XYZ touch matrix
  Route modulation, browse presets and perform with Freak Control on one pressure-sensitive surface.
• Expanded engine controls
  Dedicated Type, Wave, Timbre and Shape controls, plus three group shortcuts per oscillator.
• Voice Panning
  Selectable spread algorithms place all six voices across the stereo field from one 270° control.
• Audio-rate Filter FM
  Modulate the analog filter cutoff from either engine for new harmonics, grit and vocal-like textures.
• Expanded memory
  256 MB for samples and wavetables. Eight times the memory of the original MiniFreak.
• Aluminum pitch and mod wheels
  Physical wheels put pitch bends, vibrato and expressive modulation directly under your hand.
