El inicio
de la historia
En 2011, lo digital dominaba el mercado. Los instrumentos virtuales estaban de moda y todos los sintetizadores de hardware populares eran digitales.
[...] cuando en la feria NAMM de 2012 Arturia presentó su primer sintetizador analógico, el MiniBrute, que presumía de un sonido fantástico y un precio por debajo de la mitad del de la competencia. Arturia supo ver e impulsar una tendencia incipiente: el resurgimiento y posterior dominio de la síntesis analógica. No pudieron llegar en mejor momento.

"I think it sounds great! It'll be a great, affordable little friend for on the go studio music production, portable performance rig etc. Good stuff."
Marc Doty
Synthesizer Expert
"I am not joking, exaggerating, nor pandering when I say that this thing is one of my new favorite synths. The oscillator functions, matrix, and surface-area sensing of the keyboard basically make it so it didn’t even need a filter. I am in awe."
Annie Hall
DJ / Producer
"With a very unique synthesis and a fast keyboard with many possibilities, this little hybrid has gone straight into my live set up."
Tony Hajjar

"It's my go-to when I start a track or my inspiration when I was out of interesting ideas. Just sliding your fingers from note to note can create odd sounds and feels. I love that. It stays plugged in on my desk always ready to go. "
Aimee Jacobs
Belladon
"The keyboard is what really sets this synth apart from other synths at any other price point. You just tap on the keys and get this great, beautiful randomness that doesn’t sound disorganized."
Max Mitchell
Keyboardist / Producer
"MicroFreak allows me to get microscopic if I want to, but also provides a wide sonic palette without the need to obsess over every parameter. It’s just so much fun to interact with. You can’t go wrong!"
Public Memory
Producer / Musician
"Its capability to get super granular with wavetable parameters is great. Its timbres and textures can range from the smoky and crackly very "electric" sound of early-era synths, to lush contemporary colors that are smooth and sublime."
Tusks
Songwriter / Producer
"MicroFreak Vocoder is like nothing I’ve played around with before - it’s so experimental and pushes you to write and play in totally new ways."
Floex
Composer/ Producer
"This synth is almost like small robot singing or speaking thanks to the formant synthesis or the vocoder feature."
Conforce
Producer
"MicroFreak is an intuitive little synth adding a fresh spark to many of my electro productions."
Anfisa Letyago
DJ / Producer
"I love the MicroFreak for the sounds, functionality and size - I can take it wherever I go. Very simple to use and the effect it creates is great! It has a wide choice of sounds and features that allow me to push my creativity to the limit!"
Hany Adel
"MicroFreak is not like any synth, it's a little monster with powerful and unique sounds. It will never fail to impress you when you're looking to be more creative or sound different. "

"Minifreak is definitely punching above it's weight. This freak offers mood, tones and attitude for any occasion. I love incorporing off grid sound design in my compositions and this is a useful tool to arrive to this kind of result really quickly !"
Carl Craig
DJ / Producer
"The MiniFreak is a very powerful synth with a sound that should be in a box as large as the MatrixBrute. The bass sounds are heavy but the few string sounds included are Detroit Techno production ready. Its a bigger freak when I plugged it into my Prime Time and H949. Watch out, this Freak will make an amateur sound like a pro!"
Rone
Producer
"Arturia's MiniFreak is an outstanding synthesizer! I am really impressed by its versatility and its ability to generate fantastic and original sounds! Compact and very powerful, I can't live without it and I take it with me wherever I go. It inspires me and opens up new and exciting possibilities! Congrats Arturia!"
Fakear

DJ / Producer
"It is so much fun to play with the mini freak ! It offers endless possibilities in terms of sound and texture creation, with a wide array of extremely varied and well designed presets to start off from should you want to take a safer route."
Kmru
Producer
"The minifreak has become a favourite addition to my composition process, I love its versatility and capabilities on its own, its hold function has become a simple obsession and definitely a synth that will be with me more often in the studio and live"
Olympe4000
"Personally, the Arturia MiniFreak synthesizer has been a game-changer for my music production journey. Its compact size fits well into my setup, and the hands-on approach to sound design with the matrix-style modulation system is incredibly engaging. The versatility and depth of sound it offers go beyond its size, making it a go-to instrument for creating unique and inspiring tones."
