Akai MINIAK - Virtual Analog Synthesizer with Vocoder

Features
Specifications

The MINIAK from Akai Professional is a 37 key semi-weighted, velocity sensitive virtual analog synthesizer with a built-in 40 band vocoder. It enables the player to create sounds with its 8 multi-timbral voices (with 3 oscillators each), draw from its vast library of over 600 factory presets, and store up to 1000 custom presets. Although the MINIAK is compact in size and weight, it is loaded with powerful sound shaping tools that are ideal for both the stage and the studio.

It can be used as a stand-alone performance and compositional instrument, or used in conjunction with other equipment. The sounds can be triggered externally with an MPC, another keyboard, or with computer software with the MINIAK's MIDI I/O. Tap the full creative potential of the MINIAK with its dual balanced 1/4" TRS inputs and outputs, 2 multi-mode filters, 3 envelope generators, 2 LFOs, and lush stereo effects. There are 6 types of delays, 3 reverbs, and a number of synth oriented effects such as the String Phaser, Analysis Gain, and the Theta Flanger. On the output stage there are compression, distortion, and drive effects to fully fatten the sound.

You can quickly and easily create elaborate arpeggios and several different kinds of sequences with the MINIAK. Akai Professional is well known for manufacturing the acclaimed MPC workstations, and likewise the MINIAK includes MPC-style step sequencing, and a drum machine rhythm sequencer that makes the most of its built-in drum sounds. The deep selection of factory presets was put together to quickly supply you with any classic synth sound you may need. The MINIAK is small and light enough to travel with you, yet offers full-sized and very playable keys.
