Press release follows:
49 full-size semi-weighted keys, expanded panel controls, and a pressure-sensitive XYZ touch matrix bring a new physical dimension to the Freak architecture, while Audio-rate Filter FM and Voice Panning extend its sonic reach - making shaping a patch and playing it feel like the same act.
_Explore the unconventional
Two digital engines. Analog Filters and VCAs per voice. A restless appetite for experimentation. MiniFreak 49 puts the familiar and the unruly within reach, from rich polyphonic textures to fractured rhythms and abrasive harmonics. Play a chord, reach for a control, press into the matrix. Playing a patch is only the beginning.
_Touch, press, transform
The new XYZ touch matrix brings performance, modulation, and navigation onto one surface.
Assign modulation with direct, color-coded feedback, swipe through presets, or watch reactive visualizers follow your playing.
Switch to Freak Control and put the sound under your fingers.
Push a Macro further, tighten the Gate, or use Spice to introduce variation.
Bipolar and vector layouts let you move between contrasting settings and blend across four corners, with pressure adding a third dimension of expression.
_That's not all
Room to play
49 full-size semi-weighted keys with velocity and mono aftertouch give chords, melodic lines, and two-handed performances room to breathe. Aluminum pitch and modulation wheels keep expression under your left hand.
Push every sound further
Audio-rate Filter FM from either engine adds harmonics, grit, and vocal-like textures. Dedicated Type, Wave, Timbre, and Shape controls, plus three selection shortcuts per oscillator, make sound shaping more immediate.
Six voices in stereo
Voice Panning spreads individual voices across the stereo field, adding width to chords and spatial movement to sequences.
MiniFreak 49
Three FX slots, each with a dedicated access button and 13 algorithms, cover everything from chorus and reverb to distortion and vocoder processing.
The Freak architecture
Two digital engines offer 30+ oscillator modes, with algorithms from Arturia, Mutable Instruments and Noise Engineering. Blend their sounds or use Engine 2 to process Engine 1, then shape each voice through its own resonant analog filter.
Shape every step
A 64-step sequencer and four modulation lanes keep notes and timbres in motion. Long-press a step to adjust its length and velocity on the touch matrix. Add arpeggiator ratchets and repeats, or introduce fresh variations with Spice & Dice.
Your Freak in the DAW

Roland Refreshes the Popular Roland Boutique Lineup with Two Powerful New Additions
Los Angeles, CA, October 20, 2026 — Roland announces two new additions to its long-running lineup of Roland Boutique instruments for on-the-go creation, performance, and music production. The JUPITER-08 is a special release that celebrates 45 years of the Roland JUPITER-8, one of the most coveted analog synthesizers of all time. n/vision is a newly developed instrument that elevates the sophisticated character of classic wavetable synthesis with Roland's latest technologies.
Introduced in 2015, Roland Boutique is a growing world of compact instruments that drive fresh creative approaches in electronic music, expanding on legendary sounds of the past with workflows tailored for modern producers and musicians. The sound is immense and iconic—often inspired by famous Roland designs—while the small, portable form factor is made for in-the-moment creativity. Whether performing live on stage, producing in the studio, or playing for pure enjoyment, Roland Boutique delivers an exceptional musical experience for creators of all kinds.
With the latest additions, the current Roland Boutique lineup now includes eight unique models. The JUPITER-08 and n/vision carry on all the great design features that the series is known for, including built-in speakers, flexible battery/USB-C power, and USB audio/MIDI connectivity for interfacing with music software. These new models also include a K-25m keyboard dock, making them standalone instruments for instant inspiration.
JUPITER-08 Synthesizer
Widely regarded as the king of polysynths, the Roland JUPITER-8 has been revered by generations of musicians since its debut in 1981. This powerhouse instrument helped define the era's electronic music with its huge, dreamy tones, and it continues to be heard in classic synth-pop tracks, video game soundtracks, film scores, modern pop hits, and more. The JUPITER-08 celebrates the 45th anniversary of the analog legend with this special addition to the Roland Boutique series. Offering sonic capabilities and interface features inspired by the original hardware, this powerful mini synth delivers classic sound, hands-on control, and modern performance tools in a go-everywhere design.
With its flexible sound engine, the JUPITER-08 is a highly capable musical tool. By default, the synth is set for a retro experience with the eight-part/two-voice architecture of the original JUPITER-8, but users can internally expand the polyphony to 32 voices to meet modern playing needs and craft all-new tonalities. With refined voice allocation and pitch behavior, the JUPITER-08 provides a rich, animated playing experience with enhanced polyphonic performance and genuine vintage-inspired character.
The JUPITER-08 comes equipped with a two-part, 64-step polyphonic sequencer and an arpeggio function, ready to capture ideas and build dynamic, evolving sounds on the fly. Onboard processing is also available for extensive sound shaping and spatial enhancement. Users can tap into 17 unique effects—including chorus and MFX—plus dedicated delay and a reverb with five types and a unique shimmer mode.
n/vision Wavetable Synthesizer
n/vision is a small yet mighty synthesizer that elevates classic wavetable synthesis with advanced Roland sound-shaping techniques. Newly developed for the Roland Boutique series, it delivers a powerful platform for crafting rich tonalities and evolving textures, offering hands-on control for immediate creative interaction and deep menu-driven tools for sophisticated sound design.
Powered by Roland’s latest sound advancements, n/vision allows players to build evocative textures through a tactile synthesizer workflow. Users can easily blend and shape two wavetable layers to create animated movement, moving pads, aggressive leads, complex timbres, and more.
Multiple modulation sources can influence wavetable position, layer balance, pitch, and shaping parameters, enabling highly dynamic sound movement. Roland’s innovative wave-shaper technology transforms incoming waveforms through non-linear processing, generating new harmonics and unique textures that go beyond the capabilities of traditional wavetable synthesis.
n/vision’s top-level interface supports immediate sound creation, but users can dive much deeper if they want. Step LFO, envelope modulation, oscillator modulation, motion recording, and extensive parameter control open powerful sound design capabilities. n/vision also provides additional sonic enhancement with a drive-enhanced analog-modeling filter, multiple filter models inspired by classic synths, and the same powerful effects processing options as the JUPITER-08.
"Saima from Hop gave us a look at Tactile, an open-source standalone synth from Hop, developed from work in classrooms at Daniel's Music Foundation, a nonprofit working with disabled musicians.
Tactile is wireless, includes its own speaker and comes in light and dark colourways. The playing surface is pressure sensitive and has nine zones. The edges play a major scale, while the centre acts as a random sequencer. Additional areas control half-step bend, octave bend and a single-stage looper.
Patch changes use physical texture pads, with each pad linking a tactile surface to a matching sound character, including smoother and more bit-crushed responses. Key cards transpose the instrument; it defaults to A and changes key when a card is inserted.
Tactile is available from Hop's website. A separate Tactile Sidekick is in prototype and adds CV and MIDI interfacing for Eurorack and controller use.
OPEN-1 is an idea for an open, entry-level synth: a 37-key instrument that becomes a new machine every time you pick a firmware from the SD card. In this concept video it runs a simulated HYP-1, in time with a real HYP-1 live take.
IDEAS PHASE: OPEN-1 is not a product yet. Nothing is for sale, the renders are concept art, and every spec and price below is a target, not a promise. I'm sharing it early to find out what you'd want from it.
TARGET SPECS
480 MHz Cortex-M7 (STM32H750), open toolchain (the FM-1 runs at 240 MHz)
32 MB of working memory for long delays, loops and samples (the FM-1 has about 432 KB)
16 MB of firmware flash plus a microSD library: keep several firmwares installed, swap from the menu
24-bit stereo audio in AND out, so it can be an effects box too
MIDI in and out (3.5 mm TRS), USB-C device and USB-C host
37 RGB-lit silicone keys, 8 velocity pads, 8 endless encoders, a thumbstick and 2 spring levers
4" 480×320 IPS screen, built-in speaker, headphone out, 3000 mAh battery
Wired only, no Bluetooth: lower latency, simpler to build
Target price: under $200
OPEN BY DESIGN
An open SDK and a browser emulator, so developers can build firmware before the hardware ships
A firmware jam before launch, with a community-voted firmware pack preloaded on every unit
Launch firmware ported from the FM-1 family: HYP-1, LOF-1, ECO-1 and GRAV-1
"A custom MIDI controller driving Kraftor with a SpeakJet voice board.
This is one example of the Kraftor Performer approach: complete instruments and custom controllers designed together around your way of playing. Controls can be integrated into the instrument or housed separately and connected through 3.5 mm TRS MIDI Type B.
"Kraftor Performer is a family of custom speech instruments and MIDI controllers developed with each customer for performance, installations and experimental sound. The voice engine, controls, display, connections and enclosure are chosen for your project.
Choose an integrated instrument or a separate controller connected to Kraftor through 3.5 mm TRS MIDI Type B. The photographs show example builds; your instrument can take a different form.
Built to order. Price on request.
Pricing and lead time are agreed once the design and scope are defined."
"A sound demo of the Oberwave firmware for the SMK 37. Early beta, but sounds very, very nice, with the exception of a few presets where the decay seems to be set to zero by some bug. Both pitch and modulation wheels work as they should. A few patches with high CPU usage have a slight input lag. In this version the last four knobs duplicate the four sliders. This firmware has amazing potential!"

HYP-1 turns the M-VAVE FM-1 into a hypnotic techno and acid machine. It plays from the moment it's switched on: a breathing pad, a deep drone, a generative 303 line and grain, over drums you sequence. You shape the voices like a small modular, flip patterns on the bar, break it down, build it up, and record the whole performance into your DAW.
"A generative ambient machine, inspired by Brian Eno's Music for Airports. It plays itself from the moment it's switched on. You don't perform it, you tend it: pick a piece and a scale, take notes out, put them back, and let it grow.
THE GARDEN
Pad. Four breathing voices, a Rhodes or sung voices, each swelling and fading on its own cycle, so the chord forms and dissolves. Now and then it drifts to another chord in the scale.
Bells. Soft FM bells on four tape loops 13, 17, 23 and 29 beats long, sliding against each other so the melody never quite repeats.
Bass. The chord's root, low and gliding.
Pulse. A thump and two hats on Euclidean patterns of 16, 12 and 7 steps.
Space. A tape echo, a long tape loop and a plate reverb: most of what you hear. REC freezes the chord and lets the reverb ring on forever.
Eight pieces, each remembering how you left it. The keys are the scale: press one to take its note out or put it back. A slow tide between sparse and full, and rests now and then, keep it moving for hours."
"Polly is free firmware that turns the M-VAVE FM-1 into a pocket arranger, inspired by the Yamaha QY70. Play a chord, and a band of eight instruments follows it.
16 styles, each with an Intro, two grooves, fills and an Ending
Write your own chord progressions, and build songs from them, section by section

Make your own grooves, save up to four songs, and back them up from the browser
Play from a MIDI keyboard, send MIDI to your computer, and mirror the screen
New in 0.4: melodies start as a choir, and the Ending stays in tune when you ask for it mid-song.
0:00 Play a chord, and the band follows
0:14 16 styles
0:28 Grooves and fills
0:43 Build a song
0:51 Record melodies
