Plugin Boutique has rolled out its April gift and, this month, you’ll get MOK Miniraze for free with any eligible purchase.
It’s not exactly free in that regard, so let’s call it a 2-for-1. Long-time customers of Plugin Boutique already know the deal. You buy a plugin and get that month’s gift for free.
The offer lasts until April 30th, requires an account with Plugin Boutique, and has some conditions you can read more about on their website. Most importantly, this only works if you purchase a “paid” product, or in other words, something that costs more than $0.
So, let’s get on to the plugin. Hear it in action here:
MOK Miniraze is a “wave-slicing synth with analog-style control”. While I can’t comment on the technology under the hood, Miniraze apparently utilizes a “patented wave-slicing engine” that lets you combine a myriad of different waveforms to create interesting sounds.
Judging from the demo, the synth has a versatile sonic palette.
The technology is above my pay grade. I’m a simple man, and I get interested the second I hear of the potential to make weird sounds and bizarre waveforms!
The synth has 4 LFOs, a modulation matrix, 3 “wave-slicing” oscillators, a filter section, envelope control, a powerful arpeggiation station, and some effects in a futuristic color scheme, but with a pretty straight-forward east coast inspired layout.
Furthermore, Miniraze boasts 11 colors of noise to add texture to any signal as well as 21 flavors of ring modulation. You can use the synth as an effects processor for incoming audio, which I personally find very cool.
This should be more common!
If you feel the color scheme is a bit too much on your eyes, Miniraze has 18 additional themes to select from. If that wasn’t enough, MOK Miniraze has UI support for 34 different languages, including Klingon and Old Norse. That’s got to be a first!
The plugin comes with a lot of nicely tuned presets. If you feel intimidated by programming it from scratch right away, try playing around with the presets to get in the ballpark of what you’re after.
What seems most interesting to me is the external input, as well as the modulation matrix, in combination with the arpeggiator station. Sounds like an express ticket to endless generative soundscapes that reward an experimental workflow.
Start recording in your DAW and look for golden moments that you can turn into proper arrangements later, or just enjoy as a long, spaced-out jam.
The plugin comes in VST, VST3, AU, and AAX formats and works with macOS and Windows. Please note that the Mac version is 64-bit only.
