Full hybrid synthesizer power,directly in your DAW.
Bridging the gap between hardware and software doesn’t just mean getting the best of both worlds.
Surpass hardware limitations by firing up multiple instances in your DAW, automating parameters, and having total flexibility over the ‘Freak’s sound without committing to audio. Enjoy a softsynth that has the tactility of a hardware instrument, the rich hybrid response of digital engines and analog filters, and the expressive features of a polyphonic performance keyboard.
MiniFreak V goes further in every sense – so too can your sound.
Dual sound engines
Start with two sound generators, including every mode from MiniFreak itself, and combine them in whatever fashion you see fit. Stack, blend, or process one engine with the other with gloriously wild results.
Analog response
We modeled MiniFreak’s polyphonic multimode filters in extreme detail, to truly bring the fusion of digital and analog to life in your DAW. Capture the crunch, savor the warmth, and embrace the scream.
Express yourself
MiniFreak is an instrument designed to be played; it’s only fair that its software counterpart matches that. Sequence & automate expression in your DAW for a seamless & expressive workflow.
Mind-bending modulation
Unlock MiniFreak V’s advanced panel to open the like-for-like modulation matrix, letting you rewire and create connections between its parameters. Tap into any aspect of MiniFreak V’s sound and make it your own.
Seq & Arp combined
Blur the lines between sequencing & arpeggiation with this intuitive, powerful, and sometimes unpredictable feature, putting playful melodies, patterns, and rhythmic ideas at your fingertips.
Stereo perfection
Just like its hardware relative, MiniFreak V features 3 FX slots with 11 FX to choose from, so you can embellish and color your sound with any combination of rich, delicate, or explosive FX in full stereo.
A Freakof all trades
Tap into the mad inner-workings of a hybrid virtual instrument that does it all.
Skull-rattling FM bass; shimmering cinematic brass pads; bit-crushed white noise mechanisms; cavernous wavetable leads. MiniFreak isn’t just digital engines, modeled analog filters, stereo FX, deep modulation, and expressive sequencing. It’s every sound you’ve ever wanted – and some you’ve never heard before.
Capture the experimental spirit, untamed sonic character, and uncharted sound design depth of a wild hybrid polysynth right in your DAW, and dare to sound different.
