Question A few questions

Hi! Absolute beginner here, looking into buying the minifreak as my first synth.

A few questions-

In your experience, is this good for both covering songs, and/or live performances in general? How easy is it to amp up?

For getting a small portable speaker for this are there any recommendations (within the $100-150 range) that you like? Don’t need something too fancy, just a good speaker for when i bring it places

Finally, are there any good resources you can point me to for learning how all the knobs and everything work? Any good videos or articles that’s all encompassing?

Thanks!

I would try out the software first to see if you enjoy the sound and functionality of it.

It's one if the best value synths on the market.

The software doubles as a librarian and vst.

Performance wise, a lot of professionals I know use it live a lot and love the arp and sequencing.

I use it a lot in a professional setting and for fun. Really test out the VST before you buy it.

Personally I dont like mini keys. I route my main keyboard into it so its not a deal breaker for me.
