"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! "

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."

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!"

dBridge

dBridge/Bad Company

"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 !"

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"

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."
