Unleash unexpected sounds with the Arturia MiniFreak 49, a spontaneous algorithmic synthesizer designed for hands-on electronic music creation. Explore evolving textures, expressive tones, and inventive sonic combinations as you shape ideas into distinctive performances and productions. A versatile choice for musicians and sound designers ready to experiment and find their own sound.
MiniFreak 49 is a 6-voice hybrid synthesizer: two digital engines, an analog filter on every voice, and a pressure-sensitive touch matrix that puts modulation, macros and presets under your fingers. Blur the line between expression and experimentation, and discover new sweet spots where control, instinct and the unexpected collide.
The MiniFreak formula
Semi-weighted keybed
Now with 49 full-size keys with velocity and mono aftertouch bringing responsive dynamics and expression to every phrase.
Two engines, 30+ modes
Virtual analog to granular, with algorithms by Arturia, Mutable Instruments and Noise Engineering.
Per-voice analog filters
Low-pass, band-pass and high-pass modes, with resonance reaching self-oscillation.
Modulation & expression
Two LFOs, a cycling envelope and 64-step sequencing with four modulation lanes, plus Spice & Dice, Chord and Scale modes.
Three stereo FX slots
13 algorithms per slot, including chorus, reverb, distortion, Super Unison and two vocoders.
Software and connectivity
MiniFreak V included, plus MIDI, USB-C, clock, audio input and stereo outputs.
New with 49
XYZ touch matrix
Route modulation, browse presets and perform with Freak Control on one pressure-sensitive surface.
Expanded engine controls
Dedicated Type, Wave, Timbre and Shape controls, plus three group shortcuts per oscillator.
Voice Panning
Selectable spread algorithms place all six voices across the stereo field from one 270° control.
Audio-rate Filter FM
Modulate the analog filter cutoff from either engine for new harmonics, grit and vocal-like textures.
Expanded memory
256 MB for samples and wavetables. Eight times the memory of the original MiniFreak.
Aluminum pitch and mod wheels
Physical wheels put pitch bends, vibrato and expressive modulation directly under your hand.
Two engines
endless possibilities
From wavetable sweeps to fractured samples, find your own sonic territory.
Explore 30+ oscillator modes across two engines, with algorithms from Arturia, Mutable Instruments and Noise Engineering. Blend contrasting sounds or let Engine 2 reshape Engine 1.
Dedicated shortcuts and Type, Wave, Timbre and Shape controls keep both engines within reach.
Your sound
beyond the hardware
MiniFreak 49’s hybrid architecture, mirrored in your DAW.
Move between keys and screen without breaking the flow. MiniFreak V brings the same hybrid sound engine into a synchronised software instrument, ready to play standalone or build directly into your productions.
