Korg SQ-64 is 30 percent off! And Minilogue XD is on sale, too!
If you’re a daw-less kind of musician, then sequencers and groove boxes are a must for your setup. Because if you’ve got a bass synth, an arp, a pad, a lead, and a drum beat, you just don’t have enough arms and fingers to play all of them live! And before you try to jam with “other people” (*shudder), sequencers can do a lot of work for you.
With the Korg SQ-64, you’re covering a lot of bases, not just bass’! You get three separate, eight-voice polyphonic melody lanes with 64 steps per pattern (16 patterns in total!). Besides gate and pitch, the Korg SQ-64 also allows you to set individual modulation values per pitch. And you get four different play modes per track: Reverse, Bounce, Random, and Stochastic. The SQ-64 is quite the sequencer beast, and it is over 30 percent off at Thomann*!
But if we mention Korg we can’t not mention the deal Thomann* is running right now on the Minilogue XD. Whether you’re looking for your very first synth that can do it all, or you want to expand your sonic palette, or you want a synth that can also function as a MIDI controller with loads of controls, the XD is worth a look. And prices for it have been dropping quite a bit in the lat 12 months.
Akai MPC Key 37, MPC One+ and Force with nice discounts
It might not a discount as steep as you get with the Korg SQ-64, but given their legendary status and the recent update, it’s always nice to know about sales on the MPC series. Whether it’s the compact, bright red MPC Key 37 or the standalone monster MPC One+ you’ll get all the tools and sounds to get going with creating beats. Plus, with this recent update, you’ll even get to arrange your sounds into full-blown tracks without ever having to be distracted in the DAW!
In addition to these two MPCs, there is also a tiny little sale running on the Akai Force, one of Akai’s most powerful beat-making and music production tools. Its workflow is similar to Ableton Live’s session view, as in it is non-linear and allows for loads of experimentation. The Akai MPC Key 37 is 8 percent off at Thomann* right now. Furthermore, the MPC One+ is 13 percent off, also at Thomann*. And for the Akai Force, Thomann is offering* a discount of 6 percent.
Get 6 percent off for the Endorphin.es Ghost Black Eurorack module
When it comes to Eurorack modules, for many it’s all about the best or most out-there oscillators and filters, the most versatile envelope generators or LFOs, and the most analogue-sounding VCAs. But just like in the world of standalone synths, it’s the effects that can make of break your setup. And since we’re in modular world, these are rarely included in a VCO or a filter module.
Endorphin.es’ Ghost is one of the most popular ones – and it’s one of the most versatile ones as well! It’s an entirely different beast than a sequencer like the Korg SQ-64, but you’ll get reverb, filtering, delay and distortion effects in a variety and quality few other fx modules in Eurorack can match. And it’s all in stereo! This module is 6 percent off its usual asking price at Thomann* right now!
