Effortless
sound experimentation

即効性の高いモジュレーション、即ち無制限。

2つのLFO、ポリフォニックのサイクリングエンベロープ、自在に変形できるLFO波形で、サウンドエンジンやフィルター、エフェクトをモジュレーション。さらに、モジュレーションソース自体にモジュレーションをかけることもできます。シンプルながらも強力なモジュレーションマトリクスを使用すれば、あらゆるフレイバーの音の動きや変化、手つかずで野生のサウンドを瞬時に自由に作り出せます。

A simple sustained chord, progressively modulated with slewed S&H affecting the engines and filters.

Madness
in stereo

内蔵エフェクトでステレオのテスクチャを堪能。

MiniFreak is armed with stereo outputs and 3 FX slots, each with 13 curated FX algorithms to choose from, ensuring that every patch is mix-ready and as wide as you need it to be.

Like-minded
expression

自分のレベルでコミュニケートする遊び心。

MiniFreakはプレイするためのモンスター。アフタータッチに対応した高品質スリムキー鍵盤であらゆる演奏ニュアンスに反応するポリフォニックサウンドを楽しんだり、音色をマクロでダイナミックに変化させたり、コードモードで密集したコードスタックをワンフィンガーで演奏したり、スケールモードでハーモニーを一定の範囲内に収めることができます。

Momentum,
meet chaos

タップ1つで動きを、コマンド1つでランダムに。

ありきたりではない、それを遥かに超えたシーケンスやアルペジオを探求。4つのモジュレーションレーンでパターンに変化を付けたり、劇的なオクターブジャンプやラチェットやリピートで音を連打させたり、パターンの突然変異をリアルタイムに行えます。そしてもちろん、Freakシリーズならではのスパイス&ダイス機能で音楽的な変化やクリエイティブなランダマイズも好きなだけ行えます。

A sequence that never fully repeats, thanks to MiniFreak's Spice & Dice randomization and one-touch mutations.

"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

Producer

"Compact and powerful, it's the most versatile synth I've been able to use on tour. The large keys are well fitted for live shows, for a synth of this size, this is astonishing. And it fits in your backpack !"

Breakbot & Irfane

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

"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."
