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.

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, Infinite 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.

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 and 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 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 and Dice randomization and one-touch mutations.

Virtual Doppelgänger

Explore the power of MiniFreak in your favorite DAW with mirrored sound and architecture. MiniFreak V is a comprehensive standalone instrument, perfect for taking your Freak-infused production on-the-go, as well as offering seamless integration between hardware and software for a workflow that can suit your every need. Simply click Link to MiniFreak, and you’re all set!
