This offers six voices, two sound engines, a 37-note slim keyboard, built-in stereo effects and both modulation and sequencing features aplenty.  It also comes with a like-for-like plugin instrument, MiniFreak V, for free.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The twin digital sound engines can operate in more than 20 different modes.  You can use these engines individually, stacked, or to process each other&#8217;s output for \u201cunique compound sonic behavior\u201d.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"hawk-nest\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\"\/>\n<p>The resulting sounds are then run through analog filters.  You can use MiniFreak as a 6-voice polyphonic synth, a 12-voice paraphonic one, or in monophonic or unison configurations.<\/p>\n<p>Further sound design takes place in the modulation matrix, which offers the likes of polyphonic ADSR envelopes, customisable multi-segment LFO shapes, FM &#038; ring modulation, and &#8216;Spice &#038; Dice&#8217; randomisation.<\/p>\n<p>There are stereo outputs and three digital effect slots that you can fill with a choice of 10 FX types.  These include chorus, three-band EQ and distortion.<\/p>\n<p>The 37-note, velocity-sensitive aftertouch keyboard looks like a significant step up from the MicroFreak&#8217;s capacitive control surface, and should make it much more playable.  There&#8217;s also sequencer\/arpeggiator functionality and randomisation features.<\/p>\n<p>The VST version of MiniFreak uses identical sound engines, modeled filters, presets and controls, so presets and your own sounds can be shared between this and the hardware.<\/p>\n<p>MiniFreak is available to purchase now priced at $599\/\u20ac599.
