MiniFreak Vocoder drops Arturia's fearless hybrid synth into a new vocal dimension. It keeps the 6-voice architecture, dual digital engines and analog filter of the original, then adds a detachable gooseneck microphone and a 16-band vocoder engine with multiple FX options. Talkbox growls, android choirs or spectral pads - twist them further with the sequencer, modulation matrix and triple-slot effects for instant, mix-ready insanity. Hook up the detachable mic or any external source, channel it through a classic 16-band speech synthesis engine. Blend the processed voice with MiniFreak's oscillators, freeze formants for metallic drones, or drive talk-box growls through the on-board effects slots.
MiniFreak's twin digital sound engines feature over 30 modes, and can be used individually, stacked, or to process each other's output for unique compound sonic behavior. Its 6 digital voices then collide with polyphonic analog filters, balancing digital crispness with a rich analog response. MiniFreak's expanded modulation matrix gives users even more control over shaping, transforming, and evolving their sound, with features like polyphonic ADSR envelopes, customizable multi-segment LFO shapes, FM & Ring Modulation, and the familiar Spice & Dice randomization.

Arturia MiniFreak Vocoder Product Specifications:
Mix-ready stereo sound
With stereo outputs and 3 digital FX slots with over 10 FX types to choose from, users will have everything they need to push their sound over the edge while keeping it mix-ready, from stereo-enhancing chorus, to surgical 3-band EQ, to gritty distortion.
Expression, meet chaos
Despite its penchant for wild & exploratory sound design, MiniFreak is an instrument of expression. Its velocity-sensitive 37-note keybed with aftertouch and spontaneous Seq/Arp functionality makes it a dream to perform with, while its randomization features put playfulness first.
MiniFreak V
MiniFreak comes with a dedicated VST counterpart, letting users totally integrate its unique hybrid sound and presets into their DAW productions and vice versa. Using identical sound engines and architecture, it offers a mirrored virtual experience of the synth itself, at no extra cost.
