How likely is it that the Rytm will sell out on tuesday?

Also finished payment and received confirmation email. Hoping that they have enough units to ship.

I think as long as it is in stock you’re in for the first batch, otherwise it would have to be called pre-order, not purchase…

Thankfully I got mine!! (I think- had to go thru the label to get it,) but I have been told it went thru-BOOM!

Ok here is a guess --i think they maybe have built less than 50 units in the first batch. It is very very likely that they will not be fully available until end of Q4 2014 in the USA stores and then only in limited quantities.
i would be very very surprised if even a single store in USA got a single unit in May
Use Analog Keys as a benchmark----the product is still not available in the USA stores --5 months after release.
its a high end boutique product–use the online store

Would they really have only build less than 50 units in a batch? I’m just curious, but I would be pretty blown away if there were only 50 Rytms in the world at this point, kind of makes me feel like I actually shouldn’t own something so rare so early on hah.

^Doubt it would be cost effective to only build 50 units!
I mean stockists World wide would take more than that plus direct sales.
Nearer 250 I reckon.

Congrats to everyone who got through. Hope we all receive them soon - preorder, elektron site or otherwise. Looking forward to exchanging tips with yall.

Except if they do EVERYTHING by hand, including itching the PCB’s and soldering , there’s no way they’d produce such a small amount, it would cost crazy money, the bigger the order on the boards for example the cheaper it is, so they HAVE to order a lot to survive…And if their stuff would be hand-made, they would be on the level of selling things through ebay and such, and not the Elektron we know))
Not sure how it is all assembled though, the final amount of the batch depends on their facilities. Still, even if it is only 50 first assembled which are in stock for example, there will be more very soon, surely they have parts for more.

wish I had the dough

Got through 2 hours later due to card verification problems. So it says will be shipped today (or tommorow as its past noon), is it realistic to expect this or just an automated message anytime you order form the site?

Elektron send this man a test unit so we can play with the AR over twitter.

I would use the a4 as a bench mark instead of the analog keys. The a4 was available within the first month in the US. I feel confident I’ll have my AR in a couple of weeks. I preordered from Nova musik.

Scannari · 2014-04-22T15:03:27.000Z

Congrats!

Eager to ear you all blow our minds with the AR. Don’t forget to youtube and soundcloud! Always a pleasure to see/ear your work!

/melancholic violin : if not for you, think of the ones who can’t affoard it right now… sigh

Enjoy!

They’ve still not sold out. Got mine after an hours trying with the check-out failing. So happy it’s paid off!
