Description:

MiniFreak Vocoder Edition - 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

From Virtual Analog to FM, Additive to Granular, collide contrasting modes for compound polyphonic timbres, feed Engine 1’s sound into Engine 2 for stacked sonic interplay, and process your voice or external audio through its architecture to unleash any sound’s wild side.
