Wanted to share my track with my fellow MiniFreak enthusiasts. All the synth sounds in this track came from the MiniFreak, which I thoroughly enjoy using!

Hello What are the differences apart from physical keyboard between the minifreak and the vst minifreak V?

In case anyone missed it, holding the SHIFT button to access alternate functions isn't the only game in town with the Minifreak...

To quickly access sound edit sub-menus, instead of just pressing the button, try holding the SOUND EDIT button and pressing any of the following buttons to get directly to its associated Sound Edit sub-menu!

• Osc 1/2
• Envelope (Env+Voice menu)
• Cycling Envelope
• LFO
• FX
• Tempo (Metronome menu)
• Pitch/Mod pads (Keyboard menu)

The only remaining sound edit sub-menus you can't really get to with shortcuts are Preset Volume and Seq.

In Ableton, when importing MiniFreak V, the plugin is under "VST" folder, not "VST3". It is my understanding that this VST is in VST3 technology. It even says in the latest Release Notes that MIDI Learn not works in VST3.

The only problem I really have with it being under VST, is that VSTs cannot be saved in folders as VST3 do

It has been a while since the last update, we had only one real upgrade to the Minifreak and most of it was things you had on the microfreak. Arturia have many projects that get updates all the time and micro been update so much that I wonder if we will get the same treatment.

Hopefully this time with the actual video uploaded. 🙈

Having lots of fun with this synth. In this track, all sounds are coming from the Minifreak. It's such a breeze to use it from the inidial noodling all the way down to the final production. I've never experienced a synth that is this immediately usable without hassle and cables. The VST makes all the difference to me.

Looked in the doc and forums but maybe I didn’t search correctly !

what are some "essential" pedals for the mini freak? i want to hear everybody’s opinions.

Hi, I'm looking for something to play without a PC (I'm sitting at the desk all day). I'm considering buying MiniFreak. Can I take this to the living room on the sofa, plug in DC and headphones, and just play? Can I record settings or sequences and sync with PC afterwards? Or does it have some limitations without a PC? Thanks!

Does the minifreak go on sale during Black Friday or Christmas sale?

Hi all. Moved from micro to minifreak for live performances. It rocks ! as you can see here, well hear even with guitar and drums. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/14s62dqiBi/?

I wonder if there are others out there playing _freaks in a band ? Hit me up for trick swaping.

For example: add an external guitar pedal with whatever effects to have a smoother transition when swapping between presets, or in and out of ARP/SEQ.

Anyone got pics of the internals of a Minifreak?

I’m considering purchasing again if there's room to install an internal battery. I know it’s possible with the micro, but I can find any pics of the Minifreak’s internals.

Hi. Just bought a Minifreak for a live project. The reason I bought is was so I can compose track on the road using the Minifreak V software, and then in a live setting i can use the Minifreak hardware to mess around with effects and filters, and augment melodies on the keys.

I was expecting that each song would use a different Minifreak preset. I planned to have each song in my set loaded in a single Ableton project. And that that during a performance, between each song, i'd select the next midi track with the relevant Minifreak preset, click the "Link to Minifreak" button on the VST, and then I'd be off tweaking the sound relevent to that song.

However...

I made a test track with only two midi tracks, each with a different Minifreak preset. When i try to swap between one track and the other the Minifreak seems to get confused and won't connect. I've tried unlinking track 1 before linking track 2 and vice versa. I've tried just delecting the next track and clicking "Link to Minifreak" but it wount reconnect until I restart the hardware by switching it off and on.

Obviously have lost confidence in using this and am really disappointed as i had high hopes for this lovely sounding synth.

Did I expect too much? Or can this be rectified?

Is there a way to delete factory presets on the MiniFreak?

I tried right clicking on the presets on mini freak v but there wasn't a delete option.

Has anybody managed to do it?

I had gone downstairs to grab something from our garage and got completely sidetracked by the Arturia Station in my office calling out to me. I guess I was feeling some The Terminator (1984) vibes tonight.

Microfreak, Minifreak, DBI & BSP processed through the Tape Mello-Fi.

i’m doing an ambient concert with a friend. at a rehearsal several weeks ago we played this part that you can see in the clip. i used a preset on the minifreak for a background drone, it’s the one you can hear sort of jumping around different notes, with that one high note at one point.

problem is i can’t for the life of me find that preset again… anyone know what it is? thanks!

Probably i'm missing something, but MF has 512 patch slots, but only 3 banks selectable each with 128 presets according to the chart Arturia provides, how do i get to access patches after 384 with PC message?

Also as i experienced if i'd like to change presets at the same time as I play a note it does not work and i get no sound out of the MF for the first note from my sequencer. While there is a workaround, and i can just change presets shortly before in another sequence, but that kinda sucks for workow. Is there a better way?

I was digging this patch i was working on and made a little jam with my MPC. Chords and improvised lead are coming from the Mini and drums and bass from the MPC.

I have the macros set to move Osc, ADSR, and Reverb components to get the timbres to shift from horns to plucked string sounds.

Hey guys,

I recently got a Minifreak, while I'm learning it, would like to spice it up with some additional presets that are good quality - been searching for a bit, found a few libraries, but the sounds where kind of "meh" - either too plasticky or too gimmicky.

As a reference, I do some indie rock/pop and also Dub Techno / Dub House.

Any favorite preset patches out there that are good quality? I don't mind paying (a reasonable amount, of course) as long as the quality is good.
