Flexible, Freaky Interstellar Exploration Sound designers at Arturia are no strangers to meticulously and methodically deconstructing the elements of aural intrigue that make our favorite synths tick. The MiniFreak Stellar throws down the gauntlet with a 37-key hybrid design that utilizes a dual-oscillator 2-engine architecture to elicit dynamic, undulating sonics with multiple lanes of modulation. Its powerful, onboard FX engine, velocity-sensitive keybed, and analog filtering are engineered to inspire with responsive, dynamic polyphonic synthesis. Boasting over 20 playing modes across a 6-voice polyphony, the reimagined Freak modulation matrix abounds with artistic opportunity. To take this synth into another dimension, you're also getting the MiniFreak V, a VST counterpart for use with your DAW. It's armed with identical sound engines to deliver a digital doppelgänger for expanded sound design and patch development to be loaded back onto the hardware, which has impressed GearNuts's synthesists and production pros with its uncompromising versatility.
