unconventional

Discover endless sweet spots between sonic universes and tear up the rulebook with an addictive hybrid synthesizer that invites you to play without consequences.
Double the engines,
double the fun
2 engines, 6 voices, 31 oscillator modes.
From Virtual Analog to FM, Additive to Granular, collide contrasting modes for compound polyphonic timbres, feed Engine 1’s sound into Engine 2 for stacked sonic interplay, and process external audio through its architecture to unleash any sound’s wild side. Whether it’s mix-filling bass, textural percussion, or center-stage synth lead, you can mold MiniFreak’s many voices into whatever shape you desire.

A simple analog-style pad evolves into a stuttering rhythmic motif, introducing modulation, filter sweeps, and FX.
Effortless
sound experimentation
Immediate modulation means nothing is off-limits.
With twin LFOs, polyphonic cycling envelopes, and customizable LFO shapes, modulate your sound engines, filters, effects - even your modulation sources themselves. Anything goes with this simple-but-powerful modulation matrix, putting any flavor of animated, evolving, or untamed sonic alteration at your disposal in seconds.
A simple sustained chord, progressively modulated with slewed S&H affecting the engines and filters.
Madness
in stereo
Savor vivid stereo textures with built-in effects.
Embellish your dual-engine sounds with beautifully hypnotic chorus, brutal distortion, immersive borderline-3D atmosphere, and beyond. MiniFreak is armed with stereo outputs and 3 FX slots, each with 11 curated FX algorithms to choose from, ensuring that every patch is mix-ready and as wide as you need it to be.
