20% off

hey guys, you remember last october the electron website had a 20% discount

when will that happen again?

I’ve seen them do the back to school special in August/Sept 2012, and the holiday special in Nov/Dec. of 2013. Both times were just prior to releasing new machines (A4 and AK/AR, respectively), so the sales seem related to selling old stock and/or putting money into producing the new device. So when the rumor machine start bubbling about a new Elektron, there will probably be a sale preceding its release.

I’ve also had the misfortune of buying right before, or right after the sale period. Guts me to think I could have saved $400 if I’d just waited a few months before buying my MDUW.

Indeed doesn’t make sense to tell anyone that your gonna have a sale untill it happens as everyone would wait.

I think if there was a sale it would maybe exclude the newest products? I think like you say, sales are usualy to sell off old stock.

I could see them doing another end of year holiday sale again even if they are not releasing anything new. I got my Octatrack for $1000 USD because of their discount plus a 15% off coupon at Guitar Center. I could see myself saving up for an A4 (maybe the keys) if they do another deal like that again late in the year.
