I am a classically trained pianist/organist in need for some support to get started with my Minifreak. Can anyone help me? I am willing to pay.
Please contact me directly:

Oh, and I recommend removing your e-mail address from your posting, lest spambots harvest it. We have a user-to-user messaging system here on the forum, so anybody can contact you through that (click the user name or avatar to bring up a dialogue for that).
HI @Kim and welcome to The Sound Explorers Forum!
I’ve just removed your email address from your post for the reasons the ever vigilant @DrJustice stated above.
Please do use this forum as there are rather a lot of HIGHLY knowledgeable, friendly folk here.
Thank you for removing my email address.
I do not understand what you mean by “do use this forum as there are rather a lot of HIGHLY knowledgeable, friendly folk here”. HIGHLY knowledgeable AND friendly as well sounds ideal, or am I wrong?
HI again @Kim
It basically means that, in general, this is a nice and friendly forum; with many active members who are only too happy to help each other out whenever they can. And YES, you’re correct in your assumption there.
Please feel free to post and ask as many questions as you wish.
Welcome to the forum.
You will probably have a thousand questions if you are new to synths and the Minifreak specifically. It is a very versatile synth but also simple to use once you understand its architecture.
Could I suggest watching one of the many tutorial videos on Youtube before firing off any questions. I watched this one and found it informative, clear and nicely paced:
He also has a companion video covering the sequencer and arpeggiator.
Good luck and happy music making.
Here and YouTube is your best bet.
Wanting the kind of one-to-one tuition that you probably received to learn piano and organ is not how stuff works these days. Instructor-led tuition has given way to being given the basics through the manual and YouTube videos, then experimenting for yourself, and reaching out to communities like this for specifics that you can’t figure out. The emphasis is on you proactively teaching yourself. It can be a bit of a seizmic shift for those used to instructor-led training.
