Do Not Miss These Hardware Synthesizer Deals For Christmas

SYNTH ANATOMY uses affiliation & partner programs (big red buttons) to finance a part of the activity. If you use these, you support the website. Thanks! 

Christmas is not only the time for discounts on software but for great hardware synth deals, I’ve found the best for you.

Every year, software manufacturers attract us with massive discounts of up to 99% OFF. Crazy, indeed. However, one is gladly forgotten. Even hardware Synthesizer developers have discovered the discount battle and try to offer their instruments cheaper during these days. I picked out the best deals in my opinion. For readers from Europe as well as the USA, for both, there are some deals available.

Full disclosure: SYNTH ANATOMY uses affiliate/partner links to finance the activity as well as to cover costs for videos, purchased gear for reviews, etc. Thanks for your support.

KORG Minilogue xd

With the Minilogue xd, KORG presented an exciting hybrid Synthesizer at the NAMM this year. Well-known analog technology from the first Minilogue coupled with digital power from the multi-engine, in which you can exchange oscillators and effects.

The Minilogue xd is currently available with a 18,49% OFF discount at the german music retailers Thomann and Musicstore. Please don’t compare software with hardware discounts. Almost 20% OFF on a hardware Synthesizer that has not been on the market for a year is a huge discount. There is no information how long this offer is valid. For USA readers, there is currently no offer on the Minilogue XD in the states.

Novation Circuit Mono Station

The journey continues to the UK where the company Novation is at home. With the Circuit Mono Station, the company introduced in 2017 a Synthesizer that merges analog synthesis with the concept of the best-seller Circuit groovebox.

In addition to the analog engine, the Circuit Mono Station has a very simple but versatile sequencer that can also control external devices.

For Christmas, the Circuit Mono Station analog Synthesizer is available with a 50% OFF discount from the Focusrite/Novation or Thomann website where it’s even cheaper.

Arturia MiniBrute 2 & MiniBrute 2S

Arturia also has great Black Friday deals on hardware synthesizers. The MiniBrute 2 & MiniBrute 2 celebrate their second birthday next January during NAMM and are still exciting analog Synthesizers with a very own sound especially due to the Brute factor.

The second version are fit for the modular world and the developers has not only equipped them with a new advanced analog engine but also with a large patch panel. Plus a better arpeggiator/sequencer that goes even deeper on the MiniBrute 2S.

Both MiniBrutes (keyboard or sequencer version) are currently available with a 30% OFF discount worldwide what is a big discount. Not to forget the Arturia DrumBrute is also on sale with a 22% OFF discount.

IK Multimedia UNO Synth & UNO Drum

IK Multimedia has just started making analog instruments. The UNO Synth is a monophonic Synthesizer with a versatile sequencer, the UNO Drum combines analog drum synthesis with PCM samples. Both devices are very lightweight, compact and can be powered by batteries.

For some time, the price of both relatively new devices has fallen by a remarkable percentage, not extra for Black Friday. Why this happened, you do not know.

The UNO Synth initially started with a price tag of 239€ is now available for 172€ (28% OFF) and the UNO Drum for 215€ (instead of 300) (28% OFF).

Elektron Model:Samples

I make an exception for Elektron and extend the list with groovebox deal. In January 2019 Elektron presented the Model: Samples, a sample-based groovebox at the NAMM show. Now there is already the first significant price crash. Currently, you can buy the Elektron Model:Samples exclusively at Thomann for 299€ instead of 439€ (initial price).

Why it came to this price change is not known. Officially, there is no Elektron Black Friday. Maybe the Model: Samples is not a success and so shops want to get rid of the stock.
