Arturia MiniFreak Thomann Edition

As my first synth the Arturia MiniFreak has been fun and easy to enjoy. It feels welcoming from the start and made me want to play and explore sounds without feeling overwhelmed.

The sounds you can get from it are very wide ranging. It can do clean and musical tones as well as more rough and experimental sounds. It does not feel limited and works well for many different styles.

The layout is clear and easy to understand. Most of the main controls are right on the panel so it is simple to change sounds quickly and try new ideas. The build feels solid though i am still getting used to the smaller keys.

Overall the MiniFreak has been a very good first synth for me. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get into hardware synths and is looking for something versatile fun and easy to use.
