I wouldn’t be too stoked man…just heard Nova Musik went out of business. KIDDING!

LMAO ya i heard rumors.

danlukas · 2014-04-22T00:23:02.000Z

sweetwater doesn’t even have it listed anymore. at least not that i can find.

tsv · 2014-04-22T00:55:40.000Z

I don’t think they ever did have it on the website.

I never saw it listed. I actually asked about it when it was announced and they said I could pre-order even though it wasn’t listed yet…I went ahead and pre-ordered of course…

apparently, I’m on the short list and should get one out of the first batch they get…no idea when that will be though

what I understand about Sweatwater is that they only list when there is a response from the company as to a planned delivery date. my rep never will give a pre-order prior to the companies go.

I actually thought I was too late and it was a very frustrating ordeal but after 42 minutes I finally achieved order success.

I started at 1500C.E.T. sharp…had my customer details already and went to the store after logging in. I kept getting address denials from the site and host. I went outside and tried mobile (no luck), then kept at it. I finally got in, got the item in my cart but went to check-out and experienced a nagging issue (bug?) with the check-out page showing my cart as empty - “no contents”. I could look on the cart icon and see the item in my cart but a bug occurred. I pulled out my hair on this for nearly 20 minutes until I tried a workaround tricking the cart by adding another AR then deleting the older one after advancing to the next page. It worked.

Whew…frustrating.

Now, I have to take myself off the Sweetwater and WestEndProduction list (ex-Pat living in the UK)…then again, it might be best to decline when asked because we might actually piss off the resellers. Yeah, I’ll do that instead so that someone else can be bumped up.

Best excuse: “Sorry, I can’t afford it right now”
Bad excuse: “No thanks, got it!”

BTW, I have to point out that the UK exchange rate and VAT is depressing.

The UK price of £1,249GBP is actually $2,101USD. The price is lower in the states because they can sell more than there without taxes which are not included but the US price is actually $1,549USD and that saves $552USD or roughly £328GBPs. I know it’s not Elektron’s fault, but the amount of VAT in UK has to deter sales accross the UK market.

Okay…I’m late to the party. but my $500 savings cost me 28 days of no AR in hand…I’m officially an AR owner as of today!

I just checked the sweetwater website and it looks available for sale in the US

datastream · 2014-05-21T23:45:17.000Z

Anyone on the US West Coast order direct? How long did it take to arrive.

Starting to lose patience in Sweetwater and the general confusion isn’t inspiring confidence.

tsv · 2014-05-22T01:16:59.000Z

2 days from Sweden to LA!

Muddler · 2014-05-22T02:27:54.000Z

when to Japan?

OmnilimbO · 2014-05-22T08:09:27.000Z

Eww, 2 days, eh?! I’m in LA as well and just ordered my RYTM direct from Elektron a few hours ago… hope I see it in 2 days myself.

I kept trying to order stateside but everyone keeps selling out.

ello · 2014-05-22T11:41:10.000Z

it has already been delayed three times where i ordered. now again one month later. this makes me sad

Muddler · 2014-05-22T11:47:29.000Z

Yeh, me too.

I got mail tonight that said maybe, maybe not but Elektron won’t tell the distributor for sure and if not I’ll have to wait until next batch(?!&@£??).

ello · 2014-05-22T12:37:12.000Z

at least your turtle’s got one

Muddler · 2014-05-22T12:51:15.000Z

He won’t give it back.

I stole that from poonti (I think). When I get mine I’ll change the picture.

Elektron’s site claims the current delivery time is 1 week, so if you have a friend or family in the US have them order it directly, or order it yourself and have it shipped to them, then your friend could pick it up when here in the states.

Hello there,

I’m from Paris, France and since no retailers have the Analog Rytm in stock,
I decided to buy from the Elektron web store.

I ordered on tuesday 20 and my status has been updated yesterday.
The Rytm is on its way from Sweden to France (actually in Coppenhagen DK) and
scheduled UPS Delivery : Tuesday, 05/27 by end of day!

So, yes, it is a matter of a week.
… I can’t wait!
:o)
