Wavetable and Sample converter for MiniFreak V VST

https://github.com/negligible-mass/minifreak-converter/

This is a sample and wavetable converter for the MiniFreak V that I vibecoded with Claude. I've done a lot of testing and haven't run into issues, but I would be interested in any feedback you folks have.

I would highly recommend that you DO NOT sync these to your hardware at this time because there is no known way to remove the samples once loaded. Even a factory reset does not remove the loaded samples.

This was inspired by a similar tool (from github/mtizim) and is a single HTML file that detects both sample and wavetable .wav files and converts them into .raw12b and .raw files that can be loaded up in the MiniFreak V. Per the instructions in the app and on the github, you should create a separate directory from the default "Factory" folder found in the samples and WT folders in your MiniFreak app data. Samples that are loaded into the "Factory" folders get synchronized to the hardware and, as stated above, with no known way to remove these it could cause issues down the road.

Hope you enjoy!

How to delete/remove custom user samples once uploaded to MiniFreak hardware?

Hi everyone,

I've been using the community sample import workaround (converting audio to .raw12b and dropping it into the MiniFreak V Factory Samples folder to trigger a sync) — it's been working great so far.

However, I can't find any documentation on how to actually remove a sample once it's already been synced to the hardware. Deleting the .raw12b file from the local folder doesn't seem to remove it from the hardware itself, since the sync process only seems to push files one-way.

Has anyone here figured out:

  1. Whether there's a way to delete individual samples directly from the hardware's sample browser?

  2. Whether removing the file from the computer and re-syncing eventually clears it out?

  3. Or is a full factory reset the only option?

Any insight from people who've been experimenting with this would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The MiniFreak has an undocumented/hidden Notch filter type.

I've managed to reverse engineer (well, Claude Fable did...) the .mnfx binary files and found a hidden Notch filter type that seems to work flawlessly in the VST. Perhaps it was abandoned, or perhaps it was planned for future updates and got left in. Either way, I thought this was interesting.

Does the MiniFreak sound harsh or thin?

I just got one and I might return it. I know it’s a great instrument but the basic sound seems harsh. I’ve tried starting init patches and found the raw sound thin. Also, these factory presets aren’t helping. They mostly sound harsh as well.

Any insight on how to mitigate this would be helpful. Thanks.
