Arturia MiniFreak 49

Push every sound further

MiniFreak 49 is a true sound design playground for precise, evolving and unconventional sounds. Push its analog filters from smooth to gritty and vocal-like with Filter FM, then spread chords and sequences across the stereo field with Voice Panning. Deep modulation keeps every patch alive, while three digital FX slots let you color, disrupt or refine your sound—including Self Vocoder and Ext In Vocoder modes for robotic harmonies and transformed external audio.

Touch, press, transform

The XYZ touch matrix puts real-time performance, modulation and navigation at your fingertips. Move across the X and Y axes and apply pressure on the Z axis to turn one touch into a multidimensional gesture, transforming Macros, Gate, Spice and other assigned parameters at once. Color-coded modulation assignment, swipeable preset browsing and reactive visual feedback make every sound immediate to reshape.

Digital range, analog grain

Two digital engines offer more than 30 oscillator modes spanning Virtual Analog, FM, wavetable, granular, sample-based and physical modeling synthesis. Paired with an analog filter on every voice, MiniFreak 49 combines digital versatility with authentic analog grain and direct, hands-on engine controls.

Full-size expression

The 49-key full-size semi-weighted keybed, with velocity and mono aftertouch, gives chords, melodic phrases and two-handed lines the range and expressive response they need. Aluminum pitch and modulation wheels, hands-on sequencing and performance arpeggiation keep ideas moving on stage or in the studio, while MiniFreak V keeps hardware and software in sync.
