Key Features
The Arturia MiniFreak V is an identical software emulation of the MiniFreak hybrid synthesizer hardware. Taking advantage of Arturia's True Analog Emulation (TAE) technologies, MiniFreak V delivers an indistinguishable tone and response, from the analog-modelled multi-mode resonance filters, twin oscillator architecture, six-voice polyphony, arpeggiator, sequencer and much more. Capable of delivering a plethora of different synth tones from virtual analog, FM and additive synthesis, MiniFreak V is chameleonic software for every musical need.
Add texture and colour to your synthesis using the powerful onboard digital FX engine, providing multiple ways to change the overall timbre of your sound. The intricate modulation matrix features polyphonic ADSR envelopes as well as customisable multi-segment LFO shapes. You can also utilise FM and ring modulation alongside the cutting-edge modulation option to create truly breathtaking sounds.
Building on the MicroFreak's concept and architecture, the MiniFreak synthesizer has taken freakiness to the next level in many different ways... and MiniFreak V gives you all of its power, plus the ability to sync with a hardware MiniFreak for massive performance and editing power!
Product Ref: 254485
With the introduction of firmware 2.0, the MiniFreak V expands its sound design capabilities, incorporating new effects and a range of upgrades and enhancements. The powerful new wavetable engine comes complete with 32 factory wavetables and 64 patches, showcasing the raw and complex character of the wavetable engine. You can also shape your wavetables and change the timbre using the 'Pulse Width' and 'Filter' controls.
Great for spatial effects, the new 'Super Unison' effect is perfect for expanding the stereo field of a sound, helping you to create huge, layered tones and sounds. The 'Shaper LFO' parameter has also been upgraded, allowing you to set the LFO rate of the entire 'Shaper' length, allowing you to create custom LFO shapes with ease. Clock and Transport connectivity also lets you sync the MiniFreak with other modular/audio gear.
A synth that does it all, MiniFreak V is every producer, DJ or sound designer's dream. Discover everything from dance-floor shaking FM-bass, extraterrestrial brass pads, mangled and distorted leads and much more. Powered with a hybrid engine, analog-modelled filters, stereo FX and flexible modulation, MiniFreak V lets you design every kind of sound you've heard before on record and even lets you create tones you've never heard before.
Capturing the untamed sonic potential, MiniFreak V's hybrid polysynth design has been perfectly crafted in over 250 factory presets. Created by some of the world's most experienced and prolific sound designers, the preset library spans a plethora of sounds, instruments and applications for your music.
For a low-end that bites, dive into a range of lethal basses to build the foundation of your tracks. Inject ever-evolving, dynamic tones with a range of sequenced presets offering glitchy mechanisms, organic pulsations and everything in between. Take your listener to new worlds of wonderment with lush, dream-like ambient pads or create lifelike plucked strings, it's all possible with MiniFreak V.
While emulating and recreating the tones and sonic potential of the hardware original, MiniFreak V goes beyond what is possible with hardware alone. Load multiple instances throughout a project without the hassle of multiple single takes and automate parameters to your heart's desire with complete MIDI compatibility to perform freely.
Careful not to provide an overwhelming range of parameters which serve only to confuse, MiniFreak V provides you with multiple control layouts to give you control over the sounds and functionality you want. The basic view mirrors closely the layout of the hardware original, providing you with control over the essentials; oscillators and oscillator modes, filter sweeps, three-slot effect matrix, macro modulation controls and keyboard controls.
Dive further into the sonic potential, the Advanced view provides you with more control over your sound design. Polyphony control, scale locking, envelope and LFO shaping are all unlocked to offer a more varied range of tonal shaping and modulation sources. The last layer of interface design offers the now-famous sequencer-arpeggiator hybrid module. Here, you can program dynamically evolving chord sequences or trigger LFO/envelope adjustments on the fly.
At the core of MiniFreak V is a twin sound engine that encompasses every mode from the hardware counterparts. Independently choose your modes for oscillators 1 and 2 and combine them in an almost limitless fashion, stacking or blending to process unique tones that can span from the tame to outright wild.
Indistinguishable from the real thing, Arturia has included the multi-mode, polyphonic filters in MiniFreak V to deliver the same realistic analog response to your synth design. Switch between resonant low-pass, high-pass or band-pass sweeps to do everything from subtle shaping to completely reshaping your tone.
Designed to be performed, MiniFreak V employs a tremendous range of modifiers, encouraging creative exploration. Three customisable FX slots can be activated simultaneously, letting you add the final touches to your sound or entirely reshape it, making it indistinguishable from the original tone. A familiar polyphonic envelope with a cycling envelope offers responsive, modulating curves of your transients, ideally for altering the percussive nature of leads or pads.
It's no coincidence that MiniFreak V is identical to MiniFreak. They are interwoven with a deep connection, giving you the best of both worlds in plug-in format. Enjoy tactile hardware control with the flexibility of software or strike a balance between both. Seamless preset integration lets you edit presets on MiniFreak and pick up where you left off on MiniFreak V or vice versa. Now you can take your hardware sounds with you anywhere you are with just a laptop.
Interact with your DAW project and control your MiniFreak V VST with perfect hardware sync. Manipulate your sounds in real-time without committing to audio to revise your sounds in the future for advanced tonal shaping.
"MiniFreak V is really impressive and the matrix mode is super easy to use." - Kink (DJ / Producer)
"The sequencer and arp are seriously powerful. It feels like a straightforward workflow yet it has great depth. I really enjoy the clear and uncluttered interface which makes it highly usable. The simplicity of use but complexity of patches is brilliant." - Galaxian (Producer)
"This thing has some amazing low-end, the presets across the thing I don't even really wanna change much." - Sega Bodega (Producer)
"As soon as I loaded the MiniFreak V I was blown away by the first presets. This thing sounds more alive than any other synth plug-in I've played in recent memory. It can have such a soft and beautiful feel with all the nuances of hardware whilst at the same time being capable of sounding raw and huge." - Space Dimension Controller (Producer)
