3 digital effects slots with 10 types (including stereo chorus, 3-band EQ, distortion…).6-voice polyphony / 12-voice paraphony (plus mono and unison modes).And it’s a polysynth.Īnd everything else is upgraded. And whereas the MiniFreak sounded bone dry if you didn’t add effects, this one has it built in. Gone is that flat paddle keyboard, in are real mini keys. And this may well become one of the synths to beat – the MiniFreak was already fiendishly unique in sound, and this takes what you loved about it and fills it out into a more complete package. Here’s the one you predicted – not even because you saw a leak, but because a lot of fans of the original MiniFreak just willed it into being. The pitch: The MicroFreak, but with more keys, stereo effects, 6-voice polyphony, and lots of extras Price and availability: 599€ / $599, available now What it is: Portable compact MIDI keyboard

Of these, I’ve already got the MiniLab3 keyboard and Augmented GRAND PIANO the other two will have to wait for hands-on impressions. Arturia is dropping four products in one day: MiniLab 3 keyboard, Augmented GRAND PIANO plug-in, MiniFuse 4 audio interface, and the MiniFreak synthesizer.
