AKAI Miniak Synthesizer

The Akai MINIAK Micro Synthesiser - is a powerful performance and production synth with phrase and step sequencing,a built-in drum machine/rhythm sequencer,an arpeggiator,a 40-band vocoder,stereo effects,and a virtual analog synth engine developed in partnership with the world-class Alesis synth team. And while the compact design of the MINIAK ,shines on stage, it is also just as at home in the production studio giving the producer and recording musician 24-bit audio resolution.

The MINIAK gives you eight multi-timbral voices with three oscillators. Create your own interesting and unique sounds or browse thru over 600 preset sounds and then store up to 1,000 of your own programs in the MINIAK.

The synth also has two multi-mode filters, three envelope generators, two LFOs,stereo effects,and a 40-band vocoder. Plus the MINIAK has a sequencer with step and dynamic real time phrase sequencing,a drum machine/rhythm sequencer,and an arpeggiator to aid in creating interesting and diverse musical patterns and landscapes!

To complete the package the instrument features high-resolution,24-bit balanced 1/4" inputs and outputs. The MINIAK has a 37-key semi-weighted, velocity sensitive keyboard and so is excellent for performance. It can also be used as a sound source for external MIDI control.

The MINIAK has a full arsenal of magnificent stereo effects such as Chorus,Feedback,Theta Flanger (Phaser + Flanger),Thru Zero Flanger, Super Phaser, Notch Frequency, String Phaser,40-Band Vocoder, Analysis Gain, Sibilance Boost, Band Shift, Synthesis Input, Analysis Signal In, Analysis Mix,six types of Delay,and three types of Reverbs.

With all the massive sound generation and processing power of the MINIAK, the sounds you can create are as wild as your imagination and as easy as twisting a few knobs. PLUS building sonic soundscapes with the sequencer and arpeggiator couldnt be simpler.
