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 unconventionalTwo 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
Included MiniFreak V brings the hardware’s sound and architecture into your DAW, with preset management and bidirectional control. The MiniFreak 49-compatible version is exclusive to registered MiniFreak 49 hardware owners.
