Arturia Minifreak Vocoder

Being at the forefront of the analog revival has never prevented Arturia from exploring new horizons. It is with undisguised fervor that its engineers ventured into the digital world. They did so with such foresight and mastery of the subject that, from the very first attempt, it was a success.

The MiniFreak Vocoder propels Arturia's intrepid hybrid synth into a new vocal dimension. It retains the original's 6-voice architecture, two digital engines, and analog filter, while adding a detachable gooseneck microphone and a 16-band vocoder engine with numerous effects options. Whether it's talkbox-style growl, android-like choirs, or spectral pads, take the transformation even further with the sequencer, modulation matrix, and three effects slots to rediscover that touch of madness, ready to be integrated into your mix.

16-Band Vocoder
Connect the detachable microphone or any external source, then run it through a classic 16-band voice synthesis engine. Blend the processed voice with the MiniFreak's oscillators, freeze formants for metallic drones, or channel talkbox growls through the built-in effects slots.

The Power of a Hybrid Polyphonic Synthesizer
The MiniFreak's two digital engines offer over 30 modes and can be used individually, layered, or combined to interact with each other, delivering unprecedented sonic richness. Its 6 digital voices combine with polyphonic analog filters, balancing digital precision with analog warmth.

A Sound Design That's As Experimental as It Is Customizable
The MiniFreak's extensive modulation matrix gives users complete control over creating, transforming, and evolving their sound, with advanced features: polyphonic ADSR envelopes, customizable multi-segment LFO shapes, FM and ring modulations, and the popular Spice & Dice randomization effect.

Mix-Ready Stereo Sound
With stereo outputs and three digital effects slots offering over 10 effect types, users have everything they need to push their sound to the extreme while keeping it immediately usable in a mix. From stereo chorus to 3-band EQ to powerful distortion, it's all here.

Expression Meets Chaos
Beyond its exploratory sonic possibilities, the MiniFreak is also an expressive instrument: its 37-note velocity-sensitive keyboard, featuring aftertouch and instant Seq/Arp functions, makes it a musician's dream. Randomization features further enhance its playful and creative appeal.

MiniFreak V
The MiniFreak comes with a dedicated VST version, allowing users to fully integrate its unique hybrid sounds and presets into their DAW productions, and vice versa. Using identical sound engines and architecture, it offers a virtual synth experience mirroring the synth at no additional cost.
