MiniFreak V goes further in every sense - so too can your sound.

Dual sound engines

Analog response

We modeled MiniFreak's polyphonic multimode filters in extreme detail, to truly bring the fusion of digital and analog to life in your DAW. Capture the crunch, savor the warmth, and embrace the scream.

A Freak of all trades

Tap into the mad inner-workings of a hybrid virtual instrument that does it all.

Skull-rattling FM bass; shimmering cinematic brass pads; bit-crushed white noise mechanisms; cavernous wavetable leads. MiniFreak isn’t just digital engines, modeled analog filters, stereo FX, deep modulation, and expressive sequencing. It’s every sound you’ve ever wanted - and some you’ve never heard before.
