Arturia Launches MiniFreak 49 with Enhanced Professional Features
Arturia has introduced the MiniFreak 49, an upgraded version of its popular Freak line of digital synthesizers. The new model features full-sized semi-weighted keys and proper pitch and modulation wheels, making it more suitable for professional musicians compared to previous models like the MiniFreak with minikeys or MicroFreak's touchplate. The MiniFreak 49 includes a larger LCD display and dedicated controls for its two sound engines. It supports over 30 digital oscillator types with analog filters, audio-rate filter FM capabilities, and offers 256MB of storage for user samples and wavetables. A new XYZ touchpad enhances performance features by replacing the previous knob-based interface. Priced at $849 MSRP, the MiniFreak 49 is now available with an expected lower street price.
