Arturia’s MiniFreak V is Now Available to All Users

After previously only being included with the hardware instrument, Arturia has announced that the software version of their recently released MiniFreak synthesiser is now accessible as a standalone virtual instrument plug-in.

MiniFreak V is a mirror image of the hardware, featuring the same dual synthesis engine, modelled analogue filter, and stereo effects. These features work together to produce a sound that Arturia claims is identical to the sound of the actual instrument.

The plug-in has six voices, and its two oscillators offer a variety of waveshapes, just like its hardware counterpart. The modelled filter has low-, band-, and high-pass modes, and the effects section has three separate effects slots that can be set up as inserts or sends and offers users a selection of ten different built-in effects processors.

Additionally, a variety of performance and sequencing capabilities are available. The instrument features extensive built-in sequencer and arpeggiator functions, as well as separate or combined Chord and Scale playing modes, providing a simple and enjoyable way to experiment with new musical ideas.

Upon its original launch, the MiniFreak V has since received improvements to its UX/GUI as well as a new ‘+’ feature in the modulation matrix, so knobs can be assigned faster

For new and existing customers, Arturia is celebrating the launch with a number of other special introductory offers. These deals are available on the instrument alone or in combination with the company’s V Collection 9 software suite. The deals are valid through February 2, 2023. The Arturia website contains more information.
