Arturia Minifreak 49

The MiniFreak Goes Bigger with a 49-Key Keyboard

The MiniFreak 49 retains the hybrid architecture that defined the MiniFreak range, in a more generous format geared towards performance. This version preserves the adventurous approach of the original synthesizer: particularly varied digital engines combined with an analog filter section capable of bringing depth, warmth and bite to every voice.

With its full-size 49-note keyboard, the MiniFreak 49 provides more room for building complex harmonies, playing with both hands or developing more expressive performances. Dedicated controls provide direct access to both sound engines and the effects, allowing you to modify a patch instinctively without interrupting the creative flow.

An Expressive Synthesizer for Producers, Keyboardists and Sound Explorers

The MiniFreak 49 is aimed at musicians who want to go beyond traditional synth sounds without getting lost in inaccessible programming. It is equally suited to experienced producers looking for a versatile instrument and keyboardists wishing to integrate modern, evolving textures into their setup. Its visual interface and XYZ matrix make experimentation easy, even during the first few sessions.

Its sonic palette naturally fits into electro, techno, house, ambient, synthwave, pop, hip-hop and scoring. It can produce punchy basses, aggressive leads, expansive pads, organic sequences and more abstract textures. In the studio, it becomes a fast source of inspiration; on stage, its performance controls, Arpeggiator and real-time modulations make it possible to transform a sound smoothly.
