Two engines
many voices

Una selección dinámica de sonidos que contrastan, chocan y conspiran para crear.

Classic sinewave to fearsome supersaw bass, grainy granular to dense stacked chords. MiniFreak’s engines pack a punch - or 31, to be precise. From our own algorithms to unique modes designed by modular synth wizards, here’s what you’ve got to play with:

Particles

Generate bursts of microscopic grains to create rhythmic chaos, shimmering textures, and unpredictable soundscapes.

Lick

Trigger fast-paced slices of your samples for rhythmic grooves, pitch-locked effects, or stuttering sequences.

Frozen

Freeze a moment in your sample's timeline to craft ethereal, infinitely sustained textures and atmospheric soundscapes.

Raster

Trigger precise, slices of sound to construct complex rhythmic textures, glitchy stutters, and evolving, unpredictable grooves.

Skan

Navigate through ‘slices’ of your loaded samples for glitchy, stuttering, timestretch-esque sounds that are perfect for modulating.

Hit Grains

Manipulate your grains of sound into clicky, plucky, thumping timbres that are perfect for unique percussive flavors.

Cloud Grains

Turn your samples into droplets of sound and create dense clouds of granular texture with controls over grain position, density, and size.

Sample

Effortlessly play, loop, and reverse meticulously crafted synth samples, field recordings, and foley sessions, curated for granular synthesis.

Wavetable

Unleash raw sonic energy with 32 wavetables, delivering metallic textures, shimmering harmonics, and bold, futuristic tones.

Noise

Morph between particle noise, white noise, and a metallic noise that’s reminiscent of a synth cymbal. Great for gritty industrial-sounding percussion.

Superwave

Saw, square, sine, or triangle waves, detuned with precision, oozing with fatness and texture that’s perfect for trance leads and dreamy pads.

Harmo

Control the levels of 32 sinewaves for additive synthesis made easy, creating harmonically rich timbres that can be quickly shaped.

KarplusStrong

A mode using physical modeling to recreate the vibrations and resonance of a string, from soft plucks to steel-string buzz.

BasicWaves

A mode emulating two basic waveforms: square, containing only odd harmonics, and sawtooth, containing both odd and even. Two distinct, essential timbres.

AudioIn

Inject any audio signal into MiniFreak to process with Engine 2, the analog filters, and the FX engines.

MultiFilter

No less than 14 modeled filters packed into an easy-to-use Engine mode, from a 36dB LP filter to 3 notch filter modes.

SurgeonFilter

Slice and scoop out entire frequencies with decisive precision, with LP, BP, HP, and notch modes and a flexible Spread control.

CombFilter

Mimic real acoustic behavior using tuned feedback delay for quirky, metallic, sci-fi-esque resonance. Great for creating SFX or unique almost-acoustic sounds.

PhaseFilter

From 2 to 12 poles, dial in static phase effects on certain frequencies for creating great formant textures and unexpected harmonics.

Destroy

Fold, decimate, and crush the bit content of your sound. From razor-sharp to pixelated, static fuzz to plucky video game chirp, choose your degree of destruction.

Fm/Am

Combining frequency and ring modulation, create unique sonic interplay between both engines, altering waveforms, phase, and a blend of dry and ring-modulated signal.

Mutable
Instruments

Al igual que su hermano menor, el MiniFreak contiene varios modos de oscilador de código abierto de las leyendas del Eurorack Mutable Instruments, mejorados con polifonía y la flexibilidad de la gama Freak.

V.Analog

Two detuned virtual analog oscillators with continuously variable waveforms.

Waveshaper

A triangular wave, processed by waveshaping and wavefolding creating squelchy, aggressive, and often metallic tones.

Two Op. FM

A simple but powerful twin-operator FM oscillator, with two sine waves modulated each other’s phase to create sharp, acidic tones.

Formant

Shape your sound into vowel-like movements and plastic-tube resonance with 3 simple controls.

Chords

A paraphonic synth engine that triggers duplicates at set intervals, creating defined, static chords with one key that can evolve over time.

Speech

An engine that creates vowel, formant, and simple word sounds that are a little too close to human.

Modal

Recreate the inharmonic vibrations and resonance of a hollow structure, great for adding texture, overtones, or acoustic-esque timbres to your mix.

Noise
Engineering

Para los exploradores más valientes y audaces, el MiniFreak contiene 3 algoritmos diseñados por Noise Engineering, titanes de la síntesis modular con sede en Los Ángeles, que combinan el plegado de ondas, la modulación de fase y la manipulación de armónicos.

SawX

A simple sawtooth becomes lethal sonic sharpness. SawX sprinkles chorus and phase modulation into the mix for supersaw mayhem aplenty.

Harm

Additive synthesis meets wavefolding with spectacular hard sync results. Choose dense octave overtones or blow the harmonic series wide open.

Bass

A non-linear waveshaping algorithm that deals in lows: expect heavy digital density and molten metal momentum with this bass.

Analog
Filters

La magia ocurre donde se encuentran lo digital y lo analógico.

El MiniFreak adopta el sonido nítido, cristalino y a veces agresivo de los osciladores digitales. Pero esta máquina no toma partido; disfruta de lo mejor de ambos mundos con el sonido cálido, expresivo y auténtico de los filtros analógicos polifónicos. Controla la aspereza, crea movimiento y pon la síntesis sustractiva a tus órdenes.

Filter Modes

Hear the 3 main filter types, sweeping over a classic trance synth line.

Polifónico

Cada nota que toques tendrá su propia forma y color gracias a los filtros analógicos para cada voz, que consiguen que cada melodía, acorde o golpe de percusión sea tan cálido e intenso como el anterior.

3 modos

Equilibra el sonido de MiniFreak para que encaje perfectamente en la mezcla, o apunta a rangos de frecuencia específicos para desbloquear armónicos únicos con estados de paso bajo, paso de banda y paso alto.

Modulación

Haz un barrido de filtro, comprime o amplía su envolvente… Eso sí, el MiniFreak tiene sus propias ideas. Causa un frenesí de modulación en tus filtros analógicos o contrólalos con el secuenciador para un filtrado que va más allá.

The finishing
touch

Te espera un magnífico sonido estéreo, crujiente e imparable.

Augment, transform, and polish whatever combination of engines you’ve chosen with 3 stereo FX engines. From space-enhancers and textural algorithms to classic vocoders and outright sonic destruction - these FX are ready to be tweaked and modulated to your heart’s content.
