Arturia MiniFreak Vocoder Synthesizer - Open Box

Spontaneous algorithmic synthesizer

MiniFreak Vocoder is a special edition of the fearless polyphonic hybrid synth. The same dual digital engines, analog filters, modulation and sequencing power, now with a vocoder and gooseneck mic. Get creative with vocal or external input - from talkbox growls to spectral drones.

Speak your mind

in android rhyme

Unleash your voice, distort reality, and dive headfirst into chaos - MiniFreak returns in a fearless white-orange skin, armed with a vocoder that bends sound to your will.

16-band vocoder

Plug in the mic—or any external source—and reshape it with MiniFreak’s vocoder FX, or apply the effect to your own synth sounds and unleash a full spectrum of vocodized textures.

Hybrid polysynth power

Two digital engines, 31 modes, six voices. Stack them, FM-link them, or route Engine 1 into Engine 2, all through genuine analog filters for punch and warmth.

Mirrored in software

Enjoy the same wild hybrid sound in your DAW of choice, complete with modeled analog filters, with MiniFreak V, a like-for-like VST. Use the same presets physically or virtually.

Any voice

robotised

Shape your voice or any synth patch into robotic choirs, shimmering pads, and spectral textures.

Select the Vocoder FX, choose between internal or external sound sources and take it away - four dedicated FX modes and controls let you shift the sonic character even further.

Endless modes

infinate shapes

2 engines, 6 voices, 31 oscillator modes.

the chaos

From whispered harmonies to mangled drum loops, MiniFreak Vocoder adapts to your setup and your imagination - whatever your sound, there’s a freaky way to play it.

Classic vocoder spirit

Load a simple synth patch and blend it with your voice for a classic, clean vocoder sound - robotic, smooth, and ready to cut through any mix.

Voice-enhanced sound design

Stack granular noise with vocoded whispers, animate filters with LFOs, and sequence automations to create sounds that blur the line between synth & voice.

External audio mangling

Feed drum machines, guitars, or field recordings into the Vocoder FX for instant spectral distortion and rhythmic filter sweeps.

More than

meets the eye
