VOYAGE TO NEW SONIC FRONTIERS

Miniraze is a powerful yet approachable wave-slicing virtual synth that offers you sounds for the future, inspired by the past. Featuring MOK's patented wave-slicing engine, Miniraze gives you the ability to splice waveforms into utterly unique sounds you won't hear anywhere else, while the straightforward East Coast-style layout makes it easy to craft complex tones quickly. Create anything from warm, retro analog vibes to aggressive, futuristic sounds that have literally never been heard before.

SLICE AND DICE YOUR SOUND

Under the hood, Miniraze uses a streamlined version of the patented wave-slicing oscillator technology pioneered by MOK's Waverazor virtual synth and Waverazor Dual Oscillator Eurorack module. Combine more than 100 classic, modern and random waveforms to create brand-new sounds that you literally won't hear anywhere else.

EASY TO PROGRAM

A straightforward layout inspired by legendary East Coast analog synths makes it fast and fun to program complex sounds. Dedicated oscillator, mixer and modulation sections make Miniraze easy to navigate, so you can find any parameter you need at a glance and focus on making sounds.

MODULATE AWAY

Miniraze provides multiple modulation matrices for unlimited versatility. Each of the four LFOs can be routed to eight parameters, each envelope can be routed to four, and an additional matrix lets you link four more sources and destinations. Add adjustable scaling for velocity, mod wheel, aftertouch and more, and you've got a universe of possibilities at your fingertips.

ARPEGGIATION STATION

A built-in arpeggiator with 52 settings instantly creates hypnotizing rhythmic patterns from your chords. Set the tempo internally or sync it to your session, select the beat division, then choose from Up, Down, Up+Down, Forward, Reverse, Forward+Reverse and Random patterns to add motion to your patches.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR VIBE

We want everyone to feel at home using Miniraze. Translate the UI into one of 34 languages, including Klingon, Old Norse and Egyptian hieroglyphs. Choose between 18 themes, from striking high-contrast colors to subdued hues that are easy on the eyes and even special color schemes that provide accessibility for users with color blindness.
