Sortez
des sentiers battus
À la frontière du numérique et de l’analogique, là où le moteur rencontre la machine, où le matériel rencontre le logiciel, où l’expression rencontre l’impulsion et où la réalité rencontre l’imagination sans limite, se trouve le MiniFreak.
Libérez-vous des conventions et mélangez les univers sonores. Ce synthétiseur hybride est une véritable invitation à l’expérimentation.
Modes illimités
formes infinies
2 moteurs, 6 voix, 31 modes d’oscillation.
Du virtuel analogique à la FM, de l’additif au granulaire : combinez des modes contrastés pour obtenir des timbres polyphoniques complexes, envoyez le son du moteur 1 vers le moteur 2 pour une interaction sonore superposée, et traitez votre voix ou tout signal audio externe via son architecture pour libérer le côté sauvage de n’importe quel son.

"The new firmware 3.0 is probably one of the biggest and most sound-changing updates so far for the MiniFreak and MiniFreak V. It is a fantastic update that clearly sets Arturia’s hybrid Synthesizer apart from other hybrid synths.MiniFreak is now not only a Synthesizer but also a sampler—all without costing more—great! "

"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."
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!"
