Two engines
many voices

一组动态的声音选择,形成对比、碰撞,激发创造的灵感。

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

与其更小的同类产品一样,MiniFreak 包含了来自 Eurorack 传奇 Mutable Instruments 的许多开源振荡器模式,增强了多声部和“Freak”的灵活性。

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

针对于更勇敢、更大胆的声音探索者,MiniFreak 包含由 LA 模块巨头 Noise Engineering 设计的3种算法,结合了波形折叠、相位调制和谐波操纵。

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

数字与模拟相遇之处就是魔力发生的地方。

MiniFreak拥抱清晰、有时带有攻击性的数字振荡器声音。但这台机器毫不偏心;享受温暖、响应迅速、真实的多音模拟滤波器声音的最佳结合。驯服刺耳的谐波,创造动态,让减法合成为您服务。

Filter Modes

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

复音

每一个音符都将通过每个声音专有的模拟滤波器塑形和着色,确保每一段旋律、和弦或打击音都像前一个一样丰富生动。

3种模式

将 MiniFreak 的声音完美融入您的混音,或通过低通、带通和高通状态锁定特定频率范围释放独特的谐波。

调制

自己扫描一个滤波器,压缩或扩大其包络 - 但MiniFreak有其他想法。将您的模拟滤波器发送到疯狂的调制矩阵中,或使其与序列器保持一致以进行更深入的滤波。

The finishing
touch

美丽、粗粝、势不可挡的立体声音在等待着你。

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.
