Firmware 5.0 adds a feature users have long requested: loading their own samples and wavetables into the appropriate engines in both the software and hardware versions. There are also 23 new patches using these features. Users can drag a file into the engine or use the import button. The hardware MiniFreak and software MiniFreak V automatically convert and trim the file.

Custom samples can be imported in WAV, AIFF and FLAC formats. MiniFreak's sample engines, including granular synthesis, can transform them into unusual textures and original sounds. Users can also import mono wavetables from various libraries, including Pigments, and change them during playback with the Wavetable engine.
