This layout controls Arturia
Summary: Arturia MiniFreak 49 combines two digital sound engines with analog filters. Explore its tone, envelopes, effects and patch macros across independent pages, with two XY pads beside the original controls.
Released in October 2026, MiniFreak 49 expands Arturia’s MiniFreak family with full-size keys, more direct engine controls and a pressure-sensitive XYZ touch matrix. Two digital engines and analog filters keep its adventurous hybrid identity intact.
Explore Wave, Timbre and Shape, cycling envelopes and three effect slots. Two XY pads bring filter and patch-macro gestures together while keeping the individual controls within reach. Best on iPad or Mac; also perfectly usable on iPhone.

Notes
Use MIDI channel 1. Wave, Timbre and Shape follow the selected engine; FX controls follow the selected effect. Gate and Spice shape the running arp or sequence.
Filter FM uses Oscillator 1 to the left, no modulation at center, and Oscillator 2 to the right. The controller now starts at a proposed center. Tuning uses the documented ±48-semitone endpoints, and macros keep their 0–100 instrument scale. Other uncalibrated continuous controls use relative 0–99 positions. MIDI transfer curves and centers remain estimates.
Choose oscillator engines, filter type, effect types and LFO modes on the MiniFreak. Macro destinations belong to the patch. Opening the layout does not read the current patch. Not tested on hardware. Built from the manufacturer’s user guide and MIDI documentation; owners are invited to test and share feedback.
