Creativity Enhanced With Fun
A Little Bit Of Everything
You don’t need another CPU-hungry software synth. Or a plugin with hundreds of knobs, sliders, or switches. Minipol is super light on your CPU and comes with a handful of controls and effects your need to create great sounds!
All these parts are designed to work great together – you will be surprised how far you can go from a simple patch. Need a giant soundscape for your soundtrack? A rumbling bassline for your house track? A vintage keyboard theme for your lo-fi track? You got it!
Smart Random Controls
Seize the moment: inspiration doesn’t wait! You don’t need to spend valuable time getting around your new instrument or opening up a manual.
With Minipol’s Smart Random Bar, you can skip the boring parts and straight to the point: create brand new ideas instantly. Randomize a group of controls, sections, or all at once. All randomizers are smarty adjusted, so there are no bad choices here, just happy accidents!
Clean & Intuitive Workflow
Minipol has a straightforward design: sound generators, Envelopes & modulation, and Effect panels. This is a one-window, clean interface, no hidden menus or additional tabs, so you can spend more time with the creative process and less with adjusting the parameters.
300 Artist Presets
Minipol has hundreds of Factory Sounds made by music producers and sound designers from all around the world. You can find here professional basses, keys, pads for electronic music and keys, soundscapes, and plucked sounds for game audio or film scoring in this library.

Inside Minipol – A Brief Overview
The main page of the synth is split into four sections – the oscillators on the left, filters, envelopes, and LFOs in the middle, effects on the right, and the smart random controls across the bottom. The intelligent random controls section is where you can get quite creative with Minipol and stumble across some great and exciting sounds in a compact, easy-to-use package.
The UI is arranged in a straightforward signal flow, shown by the white lines linking up the different sections of the synth. So, for example, the filter LFO is placed after the filter envelopes, and the ‘Space’ reverb effect is placed at the end of the chain, after the other effects above it in the effects rack.

What People Think About 70% off “Minipol” by Karanyi Sounds
-
"Minipol is a very inspiring, innovative tool."
Stamusic
Berlin-Based House Producers & Sound Engineers.
Shawn – :
The inclusion of buttons that randomize various values was the big selling point for me. The GUI design is very clean and easy to follow, and it has great sound for the price. It would even make a good starting synth for someone new to synthesis.
Gregory – :
A small synth with a big sound! Easy to use, and perfect for beginners, especially with the smart randomisation features which allow you to create loads of new sounds easily in a few clicks.
Thomas – :
Very useful addition to the “toolbox” – especially love the randomize option (am I getting lazy?).
It can produce some very analogue-ish sounds and has a quite simple interface. No ring modulation, etc. – but hey: The oscillator section of the Juno 106 is not too advanced either 😉
Igor – :
Cool little plugin. An additional tool in the arsenal of sounds when needed. For the price, you can’t go wrong having an additional tool in your toolbox.
Frank – :
I own several plugins from this Company & all are a great value with some nice presets & sounds. This one is no exception, especially at this price! Take advantage of this deal while it’s available!
