#1

Jusrt got this email:

[b]Dear Analog Rytm prospect,

This is a mail to inform you that the Analog Rytm will become available for purchase 3 pm C.E.T. Tuesday April 22.

The Analog Rytm will be sold on a first come, first served basis. The demand is expected to be very high, so please note initial orders might take a few days extra to process and ship.

Analog Rytm can be purchased in the Elektron Online Shop:

We hope you will enjoy our latest machine!

All the best,

The Elektron Team

So no retailers will have it? This really sucks. Not wanting to pay the top dollar price buying it from elektron.

Where does that particular info come from?

#3

Just got the email too.

DAMN good thing WALMART ISN’T SELLING RYTM…

We would need to call that ANALOG STARVED ROBOT ZOMBIE DAY.

FREE GUETTA door busters!

only because it’s walmart…

I’m hoping its not true. Hence the question mark. I guess it sounds like I’m assuming its true. I hope I am wrong.

#5

I think you are just assuming that retailers won’t have it since the mail only mentions the Elektron store will start selling it next week.

Several Dutch retailers have mentioned the AR will be in stock next week so I wouldn’t panic too much if I were you… :wink:

As far as I know retailers will get some too since two retailers I know (EU) will be getting them on resp. april the 22nd and 28thd (I received this information just now).
Don’t get frustrated before you know the facts. My guess is they will send some batches to retailers for the early adopters and sell some direct, but that’s just an assumption.

(EDIT: sorry for this double post as we where posting simultaneous…)

#7

I got it too, sweet Jesus, I’m all exited, like…:slight_smile:

#8

I don´t get the point of the waiting list :smiley: I signed in to it since it was avaiable and now i got the e-mail from elektron with a link to the normal elektron online-shop…and of course analog rytm is out of stock one hour after i got the mail? really don´t get it :sob: but i am looking forward to get this awesome machine one day

#9

Dude, it is being released on the 22nd.

#10

ok then i got this really wrong i thougt with the waiting list system you can kind of preorder this with a little advantage

#11

Who’s camping out in front of their Local Music Store for the premier?

So do I go small store or big chain, wonder which wholesaler is largest?
Sweetwater or ProSound? Does prosound have Elektron?

#12

Cool, Ive already started to work on my custom sample library of 128 samples for my first project using twisted tools S-Layer :slight_smile:

#13

well so far one of my go to retailers in the US “proaudio star” knows nothing of having them in stock on the 22nd. Trying to contact JRR shop as well to find out.

#14

Let me know if you hear anything from JRRshop. I emailed them twice in the past week regarding my preorder and they haven’t responded. I haven’t tried calling yet, though.

Just spoke to JRR (Benny; good guy) and they hadn’t heard about the notice. He said he’d get in touch with them and find out and email me back.

Getting closer…

#16

i got an email from sweetwater today they say they have a ETA of may 7th.

although they said it may get updated.

#17

doesn’t take a rocket scientist to find out what’s the fastest way to get a RYTM :slight_smile:

Looks like Elektron will be sending lots of initial stock to retailers at the same time by the sounds of it.

I don’t want to go through the hassle of cancelling my pre-order so I will be patient :dizzy_face:

Just spoke to him and he said he emailed them about it 2 hours ago and still hasnt heard back. I also pre-ordered with him so I hope they will get their batches quickly.

#19

I just got off the phone with JRR and I’m part of the second batch. Looks like I’ll just have to play with liquid rhythm +push and spark 2.0 to pass the time.

#20

I think I’m in that batch too. Did they say when they expected to get them?
