MiniFreak - Spontaneous algorithmic synthesizer
MiniFreak is a polyphonic hybrid keyboard that unites dual digital sound engines with analog filters, playful modulation, instinctive sequencing, and rich stereo effects for sounds that are immediately curious, beautiful, and chaotic in equal measure.
Explore the unconventional
In the rift where digital meets analog, engine meets engine, hardware meets software, expression meets impulse, and reality meets boundless imagination, dwells MiniFreak.
Discover endless sweet spots between sonic universes and tear up the rulebook with an addictive hybrid synthesizer that invites you to play without consequences.
Double the engines, double the fun
2 engines, 6 voices, 22 oscillator modes.
From Virtual Analog to FM, Additive to Ring Mod, collide contrasting modes for compound polyphonic timbres, feed Engine 1’s sound into Engine 2 for stacked sonic interplay, and process external audio through its architecture to unleash any sound’s wild side. Whether it’s mix-filling bass, textural percussion, or center-stage synth lead, you can mold MiniFreak’s many voices into whatever shape you desire.

Example: A simple analog-style pad evolves into a stuttering rhythmic motif, introducing modulation, filter sweeps, and FX.
Effortless sound experimentation
Immediate modulation means nothing is off-limits.
With twin LFOs, polyphonic cycling envelopes, and customizable LFO shapes, modulate your sound engines, filters, effects - even your modulation sources themselves. Anything goes with this simple-but-powerful modulation matrix, putting any flavor of animated, evolving, or untamed sonic alteration at your disposal in seconds.
Example: A simple sustained chord, progressively modulated with slewed S&H affecting the engines and filters.
Madness in stereo
Savor vivid stereo textures with built-in effects.
Embellish your dual-engine sounds with beautifully hypnotic chorus, brutal distortion, immersive borderline-3D atmosphere, and beyond. MiniFreak is armed with stereo outputs and 3 FX slots, each with 10 curated FX algorithms to choose from, ensuring that every patch is mix-ready and as wide as you need it to be.

A Hands-onExperience
Explore MiniFreak’s layout, controls, and secret sonic weapons in detail, from the one-knob Modulation Matrix to the multi-functional touch strips.
Like-mindedexpression
Playfulness that communicates on your level.
MiniFreak is a monster built for playing. Enjoy polyphony that responds to your every input with a quality Slim-key keybed with aftertouch, make sweeping changes to your sound with dynamic macros, turn your melodies into dense chord stacks with Chord mode, and keep your harmony in-check with Scale mode.
Momentum, meet chaos
Movement on tap, randomization on command.
Explore sequencing and arpeggiation that goes way beyond tapping notes in. Lock variety into your patterns with 4 modulation lanes, introduce dramatic octave jumps, drop in ratchets, repeats, and mutations on the fly - and of course, the Freaks’ signature Spice & Dice guarantees musical alterations and creative randomizations aplenty.
Example: a sequence that never fully repeats, thanks to MiniFreak's Spice & Dice randomization and one-touch mutations.
MiniFreak V
MiniFreak’s sound and architecture mirrored virtually.

"90 Ravers" An old school UK rave lead sound with a lot of artifacts like back in the day with limited sample memory and resolution."DjoTears" Supersaw patch on steroids.
Pads
"Cygnus" Dreamy dark polyphonic pad."Aevus Aeternu" A majestic pad sound where the aftertouch plays a big role in the expressiveness of the sound by increasing the modulation speed.
