Arturia MiniFreak 49 Recording Set – Full-Size Keys, Straight Into Your DAW

The 49-key MiniFreak keeps the two digital engines and polyphonic analog filters of the original and adds full-size semi-weighted keys with aftertouch and an XYZ touch matrix. We added a Scarlett Solo to record it, a Hercules KS100B X-stand to play it standing, and ATH-M40x headphones to hear it properly. One order.

In This Setup

• Arturia MiniFreak 49 – 6-voice hybrid synth (paraphonic up to 12 oscillators) with two digital engines offering 30+ modes and 256 MB of user sample and wavetable memory, a polyphonic analog state-variable filter per voice with audio-rate filter FM, 49 full-size semi-weighted keys with velocity and mono aftertouch, XYZ touch matrix and the MiniFreak V plugin included.
• Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th Gen – 1-in/2-out USB-C interface with a 4th Gen preamp, re-engineered Air mode and 120 dB converters from the RedNet range.
• Hercules Stands KS100B – single-X keyboard stand, 54-98 cm height, 80 kg load, removable rubber sleeves, folds flat.
• Audio-Technica ATH-M40x – closed-back studio headphones with flat-tuned 40 mm drivers, two detachable cables and a 6.3 mm adapter.

Why This Combination

• Hybrid sound: digital oscillators for range, analog filters for warmth.
• Recorded properly: 120 dB converters on the Scarlett Solo take the MiniFreak's line output.
• Stage height: the KS100B carries 80 kg, so the 5.7 kg synth sits rock steady at 54-98 cm.

Set price includes all four products; audio cable sold separately.
