Product Details
Arturia MiniFreak Vocoder
Arturia made waves with the characterful hybrid architecture of the original MiniFreak; now, they've expanded its capabilities in the MiniFreak Vocoder, with new vocoder-based FX and presets and an included gooseneck mic. The MiniFreak is a six-voice polyphonic synth with two oscillator engines per voice, perfect for creating complex, layered timbres. Layer virtual analog with FM or physical modeling for deeply multi-dimensional sounds, or enable one of Engine 2's processing modes to further affect the sounds of Engine 1 with digital filtering. Both oscillator engines are then routed into the Analog Filter, which provides classic lowpass, bandpass, and highpass filter types. The Cycling and ADSR-style Envelopes return in full-force, and are useful for shaping the filter, VCA, or numerous other destinations available in the expanded modulation matrix. Beyond the intuitive panel controls, the Sound Edit menu provides access to even deeper parameters to shake up your sounds.

The MiniFreak features a three-slot digital effects engine, providing ten different effects to thicken up and expand your sounds. Explore space and time with chorus, delay, and reverb effects, grime things up with distortion, or take a more utilitarian approach with three-band EQ. You'll also get plenty of mileage out of the MiniFreak's various voice modes, including Unison, Monophonic, Polyphonic, and 12-voice Paraphonic modes, enabling a wide range of playing styles and sound design options.

A tiny wonder of expressive potential, MiniFreak offers creative function modes for both the pitch and mod touch sliders. In addition to the default behavior, new Macro functionality provides control over multiple parameters at once, empowering drastic transformations in a single sliding touch. You can also control the formidable Arpeggiator or Sequencer, including the Spice and Dice features which provide unique variations to programmed phrases. The Sequencer controls are expanded across the keyboard, providing easy access to steps in addition to multiple creative modes and playback settings.

As one of the most versatile and unique small synths on the market, the MiniFreak was an already dynamic polyphonic instrument. With the addition of vocoder functionality bringing even more creative potential to this expansive instrument, Arturia has transformed it into an all-in-one synthesizing powerhouse.
