Arturia MiniFreak 49 49-Key 6-Voice Polyphonic Hybrid Synthesizer

Since its 2022 launch, MiniFreak has become one of Arturia's strongest-performing synthesizers, establishing
the Freak line as a reference for hybrid digital-analog sound design. MiniFreak 49 extends that line into a
larger format built around hands-on control.

It carries the MiniFreak recipe for success — two engines, six voices, 30+ oscillator modes, analog filters —
along with an updated preset library and MiniFreak V. It adds 49 full-size semi-weighted keys with mono
aftertouch, FM modulation of the analog filter cutoff, Voice Panning, and an XYZ touch matrix that handles
modulation assignment, preset browsing, real-time sound control and live visual feedback on a single
multitouch surface.

Endless Sound Palette
Two digital engines, six voices, 30+ oscillator modes from Virtual Analog to granular. Engine 2 can process Engine 1. Three shortcut buttons jump straight to synth, wavetable or sample engines. Polyphonic analog filter per voice — now with audio-rate FM of the cutoff from either engine. Processing external audio is also possible.

Touch Your Sound
One multitouch surface, four modes. Visualizer: four reactive animations, chosen by preset. Modulation Matrix: direct, colour-coded assignment. Preset Browsing: full pages of presets, swipe to navigate. Freak Control: Macros, Gate and Spice, plus bipolar and vector layouts pre-mapped across the whole synth.

Movement In Stereo
Two LFOs with shape editing and randomisation, a polyphonic cycling envelope at audio rate, and direct assignment across engines, filters, effects and other modulators. Three effect slots, 13 algorithms each. Voice Panning spreads the six voices across the stereo field with selectable spread algorithms.

Playability And Platform
49 full-size semi-weighted keys with velocity and mono aftertouch, on the Arturia-designed keybed from K eyLab mk3. Aluminium pitch and mod wheels. Larger OLE D display. MiniFreak V included for full DAW integration — MiniFreak presets load on MiniFreak.

Sound Engines
Two digital engines , six voices , 30+ oscillator modes from Virtual Analog and FM to granular and sample . Engine 2 can process Engine 1. Audio In routes external signal through the voice architecture .

Analog Filter
Polyphonic analog state-variable filter (LP/HP/BP) per voice. Resonant to self-oscillation . Audio rate FM modulation of the cutoff .

Modulation
Two LFO's with selectable waveforms , free or synced , custom shape editor , and direct on-matrix drawing . Polyphonic cycling envelope with Run and Loop modes , operating at audio rate . N E W Matrix allows for intuitive assignment across engines , filters , effects and other modulators — no scrolling , no submenus .

Effects And Stereo
Three effect slots , 1 3 algorithms each . N e w Voice Panning places each voice individually in the stereo field . Stereo outputs .

Sequencer and Arpeggiator
Sequencer with four modulation tracks. Arpeggiator with octave jumps, ratchets and repeats . Spice & Dice for on-the-fly variation and randomization of any pattern.
