The labels also include important step-by-step instructions on how to inspect and sign for your shipment. In addition to the manufacturer's standard foam and corrugated packaging, we also apply a special shock absorption polyethylene material to the outer carton of every TV. This safeguard will disperse energy from impact during transit, and eliminate damage to the product itself.

Arturia 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.
Product Features:
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.

A Closer Look
Explore Minifreak Vocoder’s layout, controls, and secret sonic weapons in detail, from the one-knob Modulation Matrix to the multi-functional touch strips.
x2 Oscillators: Engine 1 - A typically Freaky array of classic, quirky, and cutting-edge oscillator modes. Engine 1's selection includes Arturia modes like Granular, Sample, SuperWaves, Karplus Strong, WaveTable, and Audio In, Mutable Instruments' open-source Plaits modes like Speech and Modal, and 3 modes designed with LA modular heavyweights Noise Engineering. Engine 2 - Expanding on Engine 1's selection, Engine 2 can be used to process Engine 1 itself, with modes like Comb Filter, Destroy, and Ring Mod.
Analog Filters: Polyphonic state-variable resonant filters with low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass modes, capable of self-oscillation.
Envelope: A standard ADSR envelope with 4 modes to choose from - polyphonic, monophonic, paraphonic, and unison.
Cycling Envelope: A handy shape-adjustable second envelope that can also be used in Run or Loop modes for responsive repeating modulations, even up at audio rate.
LFOs: 2 LFOs perfectly complement MiniFreak's dual engine architecture with the familiar shapes to choose from, free-running or sync'd operation, and even a custom LFO shaper.
Modulation Matrix: Create your own modulation tapestry with 7 sources, and dozens of possible destinations combinations, from the familiar to the assignable.
Digital Effects: 3 FX engines, 13 FX to choose from on each engine, for beautiful or explosive stereo sound depending on your mood.
Central Controls: Navigate core settings, presets, and detailed customizations with single-knob operation and a crystal-clean display for real-time feedback.
Shift Button: The master key to MiniFreak's many hidden talents; hold Shift to engage secondary setting, highlighted in blue on the control panel.
Touch Strips: Yes, they do Pitch Bend and Mod - but it doesn't end there. Use these strips to tweak your macro controls during performances or alter your sequences on the fly with Spice and Dice.
Seq and Arp Controls: The steering wheel for your sequences and arpeggios. Shift octaves, fire off ratchets, record modulation, or mutate any sequence of notes with a single touch.
LFO Shaper: Use these pads to add segments to your custom LFO shapes.
Keybed: A 37-note velocity-sensitive Slim-key keybed with aftertouch for responsive, comfortable playing.
MIDI: Connect MIDI in, out, or thru to get MiniFreak talking to your setup.
USB: Connect to your computer for updates, preset management, and using MiniFreak V in sync with your hardware.
Analog Clock: Keep things in sync with analog gear and modular.
Audio Input: Using MiniFreak's 'Audio In' mode, process incoming signals through its engines and filters.
Stereo Outputs: Capture the full width of dual oscillators and 3 FX engines.
Command 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
Shape your sound design with advanced sequencing, arpeggiation, and the Vocoder FX - all mirrored in your daw DAW with MiniFreak's VST-twin.
Vocoder FX - Two modes, four colours - instant inspiration.
Ext In Vocoder reshapes any external signal with MiniFreak’s engine. Self Vocoder lets you use the Vocoder FX on synth engine sounds. Swap between Clean, Vintage, Narrow, or Gated flavours, then tweak the three FX controls for anything from Daft-Punk gloss to hyper-resonant textures in seconds.
Melodic Propulsion - Effortlessly take your sound in a new direction
MiniFreak’s sequencer and arpeggiator allows you to lock variety into your patterns, introduce dramatic octave jumps, and drop-in repeats and mutations on the fly. A sequence that never fully repeats, thanks to MiniFreak's Spice & Dice randomization and one-touch mutations.
Virtual Doppelgänger
