MiniFreak V is the software twin of Arturia's MiniFreak hardware synth — a hybrid instrument that pairs experimental digital oscillator engines with modelled analogue filters. It is built for happy accidents: two engines that can process each other, fast modulation and a playful sequencer, all running inside your Mac DAW or standalone.

Key Features

• 6-voice polyphonic hybrid synthesizer, with paraphonic, unison and mono modes
• Two sound engines offering 22 oscillator modes in total
• Engine 2 can process Engine 1 for unusual layered textures
• Modelled polyphonic analogue filters and VCAs
• Three digital FX slots, a sequencer, and over 350 factory presets

FAQs

Do I need the MiniFreak hardware?

No. MiniFreak V works fully on its own. If you do own the hardware, the two mirror each other, so presets and edits move between them.

Is MiniFreak V free?

No. It is a paid instrument. Arturia provides a demo through Arturia Software Center so you can explore the engines first.
