Turn your voice into a musical instrument

The MiniFreak Vocoder Edition includes a 16-band vocoder and a detachable gooseneck microphone, turning your voice into an expressive, playable sound source. You can speak, sing or route audio from another device into the vocoder, then shape it using MiniFreak’s internal oscillators and effects. The vocoder blends vocal character with synthetic tone, perfect for building robotic leads, synthetic choirs or metallic drones. You can freeze vowel shapes, process them through filters or layer the result with other sound engine sources. It’s a flexible tool for anyone looking to explore vocal synthesis without needing external processing gear.

Hybrid synthesis with depth and variety

MiniFreak’s core sound engine uses two digital oscillators that each offer a choice of over 30 different sound types. These range from virtual analog and wavetable to FM, ring modulation, speech models and more. You can run each oscillator separately, stack them or use one to process the other’s output. Each of the six voices is shaped through a polyphonic analog filter, adding warmth and responsiveness that balances the digital precision. This approach supports both standard sounds and experimental ones, allowing rich pads, sharp leads, glitch textures or evolving soundscapes to be built with ease.

Detailed modulation and creative effects

MiniFreak provides deep modulation tools without becoming complicated. Its modulation matrix supports seven sources and thirteen destinations, including envelopes, LFOs and performance inputs. Each voice comes with two LFOs, a standard ADSR envelope and a cycling envelope. You can also customise your LFO curves and introduce movement using FM, ring modulation or filter shaping. The effects section includes three separate slots, each with a range of options like delay, reverb, chorus, distortion and EQ. These can be used in send or insert mode, giving flexible routing for subtle shaping or bold transformations. With stereo outputs, your sound stays ready for mixdown or live sets straight from the synth.

Play, perform and integrate with ease

The 37-note Slim-key keybed is responsive and expressive, offering velocity and aftertouch to bring your playing to life. A built-in 64-step sequencer with four lanes of automation allows quick pattern building and dynamic modulation over time. The arpeggiator includes extra features like ratcheting, octave jumping and randomisation for variation. MiniFreak connects easily to studio or stage setups using USB, MIDI and clock in and out ports. It also includes MiniFreak V, a software version of the synth that runs as a plugin in your DAW. This allows seamless switching between hardware and software, keeping your creative process consistent from start to finish.
