Any good hardware deals for Black Friday?
SSIA , post the best deals for any synths, midi gear, drum machines, other instruments or effects, I/Os, whatever

Comments
Surely there are. I'm not looking for hardware, but if I was I would be looking at Thomann and Perfect Circuit for new and Reverb for used.
I keep getting emails from Sweetwater, so I would guess they have some hardware on sale.
gearnews.com is a good source for info on deals at Thomann RSIA

I nice sounding synth if you don’t use the metallic reverb as well as remembering all the shortcuts or easier solution use the editor from the iPad, it’s also a good idea to order the power data splitter.
The Erae Touch is ~$200 off:

Whoa there’s an editor for nymphs on iPad? I was always interested in that synth but the menu select stuff turned me off. I’m intrigued
Available for use with TouchOSC, here

A feature that the nymphes uses when changing patches it pushes all parameters via CC’s an excellent idea that I wish more manufacturers would incorporate.
Just remember to get the USB splitter to isolate both power and data.

Just scooped a limited edition Boy Harsher x Moffenzeef synth
Not really a deal but I’m a huge boy harsher fan lol
Woah this looks sick. I can’t afford it right now but that’s awesome.
Yeah it looks insane, the V1 was just a drone synth, which is cool and all, but this is crazy.
I actually had like 3-4 other things I was going to buy this weekend that I put on pause just to preorder this instead lol
I’ve seen a decent amount. Both on synths, and midi controllers.
Amazon had the new Rhythm Station J6 Roland Botique Synth for $20 off at like $180
Check the sites like Amazon, sweetwater, reverb, guitar center… but I also really like the sales aggregate sites, like slickdeals.net, dealnews, etc…
I’ve seen some of the Moffenzeef stuff before but forgot all about it. Never seen this one though. It seems like it would be a blast to route this into AUM with a bunch of crazy iOS effects. I’d love to hear your thoughts when you get it. Definitely adding this to the list lol
Amazon has the Minilab 3 for 39% off at under $80. Has anyone used it with their iPad?
I was considered the M-Audio Oxygen mini but just realized it’s only 32 keys and not 37 so I might as well just get 2 octaves lol. Any thoughts on it? I’ve always liked the MiniLab line
It’s not shipping until January, this was just a preorder… it will def sell out as it’s very limited edition I’m pretty sure… but I’ll def post something once I get around to it
Haha I actually did get that J6 Roland synth … but I found it on reverb for like $130 and couldn’t pass it up. Been eyeing up that unit for a while actually, and I almost got it for $180 from Amazon, hopefully I don’t get burned on this deal haha
I've had a MiniLab 3 for a couple of months. It's my first grown-up controller – before this I was using a MicroLab which had only the 25 keys and no other controls. I've had no problem using the MiniLab with iPad or Mac. I got it partly because of the USB-C connection; it comes with a USB-A to USB-C cable included but is also happy with a USB-C to USB-C cable direct to iPad.
Ah damn. It’ll definitely be all gone before I can save up for it. Do they ever restock the limited editions?
Thanks! That’s definitely a huge benefit of having an iPad with usb-c.
I’m really considering it. Part of me wants the Akai MPK plus for the extra octave, but almost half off may be too good of a deal to pass up lol how are the drum pads? Are you happy with yours overall?
I haven't used any other pad controller so can't really compare the pads. Overall I'm happy with it but if my desk weren't already so cramped I think I would have got something with 32 or 37 keys.
Yeah I’m considering the Akai MPK Plus for that reason. I don’t have the space for a big controller but the MPK Plus has 3 octaves and still takes up little space. Plus it has the Akai pads which are always great.
Buy it
It’s the best in its class
Ableton Push 3 Standalone is 20% off until Nov. 30.
If you put Push 3 in your cart, then add the Live 12 preorder to your cart, you will see a discount off of the Live 12 preorder price.
Push 3 Controller is not discounted, but if you add it to your cart, then add Live 12 preorder, you will also see a discount off the Live 12 preorder.
Roli is doing something for their seaboards
I keep teetering between Minilab3, Oxygen Pro Mini, and Akai MPK Plus. I’d like to have more than 2 octaves though so the Akai may end up winning.
Do you find the 2 octaves limiting? I’ve never had less than 3 on a midi controller but I don’t have the space for anything bigger now.
While I wish it had 32 keys, that is my ONLY wish. Two octaves is somewhat limiting. 3 octaves is better , 49 keys is really what I prefer , and I have a 49 key but the velocity and sensitivity compared to my Minilab is crazy, like a piano sounds like a piano. It has 8 knobs, 8 pads and 4 faders and it’s digital stuff like arp etc…
I do like the akai a lot, but for $80, I would feel like I would be doing a disservice not encouraging people to purchase it. Unless you’re a REAL pianist , using real pianos often and symphonically, I think 25 keys is JUST enough.
I’m most definitely NOT a real pianist 😂 to be clear, are you saying the velocity sensitivity on the MiniLab is good or were you referring to your other controller?
Also can you adjust pad and key sensitivity on the keyboard itself? I know you can on the Oxygen and Akai. I don’t have a desktop so that would be a dealbreaker for me unfortunately.
I gotta say the MiniLab3 is one of the better looking midi controllers I’ve seen. And at this point I do have to consider if the extra octave is worth an extra $70-$80.
Last question: how are the pads on the MiniLab? That’s another big point of contention for me.
