I'm about to purchase an Arturia Minifreak as my first physical synthesizer, and I have some questions to get some opinions about.
For some background, I've been playing piano since I was in 3rd grade (I'm 22 now). My friends and I have started jamming together recently, but I've just been using my regular keyboard. The minifreak just seems like the perfect introduction. I'm mainly interested in polyphony, which initially drew me to it, and I have questions about accessories or gear people may think I'll benefit from.
The things I believe I need are: an amp, an interface (for my computer and for the amp), cables, and my friend recommended I get a looper pedal for jams. I also need a bag or a travel case. Is there anything you realized you may have benefited from having earlier, or am I just getting ahead of myself? Besides my regular keyboards, this is my first "big" musical purchase, and I want to cover all of my bases. I'd appreciate any second opinions. tyyy
